Object
Intact House on Rana IV
A solitary, intact house occupies the center of a six‑acre green oasis amid Rana IV's ash‑scoured plains. The dwelling stands visibly whole against a dead landscape, registering two life‑signs on ship sensors. Bridge officers react with urgent focus: Wesley's console locks onto the signature, Picard converts reconnaissance into an away‑team mission, and Troi registers an emotional absence tied to the site. The structure functions as a pinpoint of possible survivors and a startling visual anomaly on an otherwise ravaged world.
