Object
Hekaras Corridor Reconnaissance Probes (Tetryon-Resistant Proposal)
Proposed by Worf in the observation lounge to scan the Hekaras Corridor for the missing USS Fleming, but immediately rejected by Geordi due to tetryon interference from subspace rifts. Serves as a narrative device to highlight the corridor’s hazards and transition the crew toward alternative solutions (e.g., multi-phase buffers). Never deployed.

Purpose
Scan the Hekaras Corridor for signs of the USS Fleming amid tetryon fields
Significance
Exposes limits of standard Starfleet probes against subspace rifts, forcing the crew to adopt Geordi's multi-phase buffers and heightening tension around rescue feasibility
