Iconian Mountain Energy Node
A buried, high‑energy installation sequestered deep in Iconia's mountain range: a dense cluster of fused stone and dark alloy that broadcasts a concentrated, pulsing energy signature. Ship sensors show a localized, active remnant of far‑older technology that occasionally discharges in bright flashes; one such discharge expels an automated projectile. The node thrums with residual power as Data magnifies scans and Worf isolates the signal, prompting Picard to order shields and a tractor‑beam to intercept the launched probe.

Purpose
To concentrate and emit stored energy for local Iconian systems and to power or launch automated probes/projectiles from the planetary installation.
Significance
Shifts the crew's mission from archaeological investigation to immediate survival: the node's launch of a projectile ties Iconia's ancient tech directly to the Yamato disaster, forces defensive action, and reframes the planet's ruins as active threats rather than inert relics.
