Jagged Metal Fragment with Non-Human Blood Smear
A small, irregular sliver of dull gray metal with sharp, jagged edges and fractured surfaces—roughly palm-sized and clearly torn from a larger component. A distinct smear of non-human blood stains one face of the fragment. Beverly discovers and lifts the shard for closer inspection while Riker, Worf, and Data react with increased urgency; the fragment is handled as physical evidence and immediately draws forensic attention.
