Deck 36 Security Force Field

A compact, localized energy curtain that snaps into place across Deck 36 corridors: latticed blue-white filaments shimmer with a humming pressure, forming an impenetrable plane roughly wall-to-wall and floor-to-ceiling. The field emits a faint ionic crackle and responds instantly to remote commands; Worf rigs a quick field fix against an overloaded phaser while Roga Danar remotely deploys the barrier via a commandeered communicator, turning the corridor into a sealed obstacle and a tactical staging point.

Purpose

To seal a specific corridor or deck area as a temporary containment and security barrier, preventing passage and enabling either enforcement or escape manipulation.

Significance

Functions as a tactical fulcrum: its sudden deployment converts a diversion into an escape corridor, showcases Roga Danar’s technical cunning, forces improvisation by ship security (notably Worf) and escalates the shipwide manhunt and political stakes.

Transfer Authorized — Lethal Contingency Set

The Deck 36 Security Force Field is the physical barrier whose release will be coordinated with the transporter; its near-simultaneous drop defines the 0.1 second window that frames the tactical plan and risk.

Before: Engaged, forming the containment barrier at the destination cell.

After: Scheduled to be released in near-simultaneity with transporter activation.

Phaser Decoy Foiled — Danar's Misdirection Escalates

The localized Deck 36 force field is the intended security barrier preventing movement off that tier. Roga—by using a crew member's communicator—issues a voice command to the ship computer which causes this field to collapse, converting the security measure into an exploited vulnerability.

Before: Active and humming across the Deck 36 corridor as an ionic lattice barrier.

After: Briefly shimmers and then drops/ceases, creating an opening exploited for escape.

Turbolift Ruse — Deck 36 Force Field Breach

The localized Deck 36 security force field serves as a barrier preventing access; it shimmers and then collapses in response to a remote command, converting an impenetrable obstacle into an open route. Narratively, its removal is the pivotal mechanical action that transforms Roga's ambush into an actual escape corridor.

Before: Active, forming an ionic lattice across Deck 36 corridors and preventing passage.

After: Deactivated/dropped after receiving the command; the corridor is now open and accessible.
