Ship's Sensor Array
The ship's sensor array scans Tarchannen Three's surface from the main bridge but fails to detect Geordi's life signs after his unauthorized transport. Worf checks readings at his console and reports no signs, Picard acknowledges the malfunction with a grave nod, and Data proposes ultraviolet light to bypass its limits. Crew exchanges alarmed glances as the failure sinks in.
