Geordi's Alarm — Double Security and a Jefferies Trap
Plot Beats
The narrative micro-steps within this event
Geordi, shaken from a phaser stun, delivers a warning about Danar's terrifying speed and unpredictability, revealing the first tactical failure against their adversary.
Geordi, having witnessed Danar's lethality firsthand, insists on doubling security—his tone conveying more threat assessment than Starfleet protocol.
Who Was There
Characters present in this moment
Neutral and methodical — Data supplies facts without emotional color, enabling others to assign valence and urgency.
Through the comm, Data reports an open access panel (K-twelve, Deck 30), providing the analytic sensor readout that identifies a precise breach point and guides the tactical response.
- • Provide accurate, real-time sensor data to inform shipboard decisions.
- • Pinpoint the intruder's route to allow interception.
- • Objective sensor interpretation is critical to resolving security breaches.
- • Precise localization (deck and panel) materially increases interception probability.
Controlled and duty-bound; focused on executing protocol rather than expressing surprise.
Receives Data's comm, acknowledges the open panel readout succinctly, relays the tactical conclusion that Danar is likely attempting to reach Shuttlebay Two, and reports that security contingents are posted at shuttlebays.
- • Coordinate shipboard security response to intercept Danar.
- • Provide factual, actionable sensor reports to command without speculation.
- • Orderly deployment of Security is the correct counter to an internal threat.
- • Clear, concise reporting accelerates effective containment.
Shaken and urgent — outwardly composed technical focus masking a real alarm at the tactical implications of what he witnessed.
Sitting up in Engineering after being stunned, Geordi rapidly assesses Danar's capabilities, vocalizes alarm at Danar's speed, scans the reactor shaft, and explicitly advises doubling security to close the breach.
- • Prevent Roga Danar from reaching Shuttlebay Two and escaping the ship.
- • Close vulnerabilities and ensure Security increases force allocation where needed.
- • Danar's demonstrated physical abilities make him a severe and immediate threat.
- • Procedural escalation (doubling security) is the most effective immediate response to a fast-moving breach.
Objects Involved
Significant items in this scene
A Starfleet combadge-style insignia emits an alert tone, functioning as the immediate communications trigger that brings Worf into the loop and allows Data's sensor readout to be transmitted to Engineering. The beep is the literal crack in ambient noise that starts tactical coordination.
Location Details
Places and their significance in this event
Main Engineering is the scene of immediate recovery: Geordi shakes off a phaser stun and converts shock into tactical advice. The bay functions as the nerve center for diagnostics and command decisions, where sensor data is digested and escalation orders originate.
Shuttlebay Two is identified as Danar's likely objective and thus becomes the focal defensive point, with a full contingent of security reported waiting there. It represents the potential exit and therefore the most critical interception location.
The Jefferies tube is the literal tunnel of the chase: cramped, intersecting conduits provide both route and weaponization substrate. Danar uses the tube's dense bundling of waveguides to rig a phaser into the ship's infrastructure, turning a maintenance corridor into a trap.
