Away Team's Tricorders (Ventax Temporal Fracture)
Picard, Troi, Worf, and Data clutch standard-issue Starfleet tricorders during Ardra's temporal distortion on Ventax. The handheld scanners beep and flicker but yield no data as the sky splits into past-present layers, buildings decay and rebuild in seconds, and vegetation cycles wildly. The team stands transfixed, devices rendered useless against the humming energy centered on the calm Ardra.
