Geordi's Tritanium Hull Fragment and Sample Container
Ordinary-looking chunk of tritanium scavenged from shuttlecraft wreckage in Shuttlebay Two. Geordi La Forge picks up the fragment amid debris, crushes it in his fist, and watches it disintegrate into fine dust. Scans reveal an altered molecular structure impossible under normal conditions, marking targeted degradation by an advanced energy field. Miles O'Brien assists as Geordi collects the residue into a small sample container for transport to Engineering. The container holds the first tangible clue to the shuttle's sabotage, linking the crew's childlike regression to the deliberate Ferengi attack.
