Coalition members expose hidden threat

Three nightstick-like devices are clutched by the Coalition members as they stumble into the away team's path. The devices are raised in a ready stance, signaling the group's defensive posture and their preparedness to use force if threatened. While their exact function is not specified, their design suggests they are improvised weapons, likely used in close-quarters combat. The nightsticks serve as a visual contrast to the away team's phasers, highlighting the makeshift nature of the factional conflict on Turkana IV and the Coalition's reliance on whatever tools they can scavenge or repurpose.

Before: The nightstick-like devices are carried by three of the Coalition members, held loosely but ready for use. Their design is crude, suggesting they are improvised weapons rather than standard-issue equipment.

After: The nightsticks remain in the Coalition members' hands as they flee, their potential use as a last line of defense underscored by the escalating threat. The devices are not activated, but their presence reinforces the group's desperation and the brutality of their environment.
