Enterprise-D Anti-Matter Injector Contaminated Pathway

A vital but contaminated conduit in the Enterprise-D's anti-matter injector system, laced with Invidium. Targeted for liquid nitrogen treatment by Barclay and La Forge in the engineering department. Shows signs of prior strain and uncertain functionality post-treatment.

1 appearances

Purpose

Carries injectants critical to propulsion systems; enables emergency flooding to neutralize contaminants like Invidium.

Significance

Barclay's plan hinges on this pathway—successful neutralization saves the ship, but failure risks total propulsion collapse, forcing Picard to weigh brilliance against catastrophe.

Barclay’s Revelation: The Invidium Gambit

The Enterprise-D injector pathway is the critical system targeted by Barclay’s liquid nitrogen proposal. Laced with Invidium contamination, it threatens to fail catastrophically unless neutralized. The pathway’s condition is uncertain—Geordi warns that it has sustained considerable damage, and Picard questions whether it will function after the treatment. The crew’s decision to proceed with the plan hinges on whether this conduit can withstand the extreme cold of the nitrogen while still allowing the ship to regain control. Its fate is inextricably linked to the Enterprise-D’s survival.

Before: Contaminated with Invidium; functioning erratically and at risk of failure.

After: Targeted for liquid nitrogen injection; its post-treatment state is unknown but critical to the ship’s survival.
