Riker's Proposed Photon Torpedo
Riker proposes arming a photon torpedo and detonating it inside the particle stream to collapse the test platform's fountain and rescue Picard and Geordi. Picard monitors from the center chair, Worf stands at tactical, Farallon calculates feasibility, and Data objects ethically nearby. The crew rejects the plan because configuring precise targeting takes too long with the force field collapsing in 22 minutes. Tension rises as Riker presses for speed over risks.
