Ruptured Plaza Gas Pipe (Escaping Gas)
A jagged, torn stretch of municipal gas pipe bursts through cracked plaza paving, metal scorched and bent from the blast. A thin, pale vapor hisses from the rupture, carrying a faint hydrocarbon odor and pooling low to the ground. Passersby and responders recoil from the steady whistle; Beverly maneuvers around the leak while triage proceeds, and Worf and Data register the secondary-explosion risk.

Significance
Escalates danger after the bombing by introducing a persistent secondary threat that forces urgent safety decisions, heightens tension between duty and caution, and underscores Beverly's willingness to defy orders to treat the wounded despite the added risk.
