Starship Corridor

Deck 17

Deck 17 pulses with a chroniton field three hundred percent stronger than previous readings, its surge dangerously near the warp core. Brossmer's report pulls Data and Geordi from Main Engineering; they grab tricorders and anyon emitters to probe the anomaly. Proximity to critical systems heightens stakes before the Enterprise warps, linking the field to the transporter accident and suspected Romulan sabotage. Tension builds as methodical analysis meets desperate urgency.
