Low-Frequency Tractor Beam
Picard proposes that Ardra fakes earthquakes with a low-frequency tractor beam aimed at tectonic plates. Dr. Clark supports this theory during the Observation Lounge debate. The crew—Picard, Riker, Troi, Beverly, and Geordi—discusses it as one of her technological tricks, alongside transporters and holograms, fueling their skepticism of her supernatural claims.
