A small, jagged metal fragment smeared with fresh blood, its edges bent and pitted as if torn from a larger object. Medical instruments and gloved hands cradle it for inspection; scientists and Dr. Beverly Crusher examine the stain patterns and tissue residue while Data and Picard listen for forensic implications.
