Riker and Data's Phasers
Riker and Data grip these handheld Starfleet phasers during their desperate stand in the Melona Colony cave. They fire precise bursts to dislodge boulders, sealing the entrance against the Crystalline Entity's approach. Later, they dial down the power to heat rocks, their orange glow piercing the suffocating darkness and guiding Beverly, Carmen Davila, and survivors to safety.
