Jagged Holographic Rockface (Duck Blind Camouflage)
A sharply fractured, jagged rockface produced when the duck blind's holographic camouflage snaps closed and rematerializes the clearing as 'solid' stone. The projection presents serrated ledges, uneven planes and glassy mineral sheens that catch ambient light; its irregular protrusions create treacherous footing and razor-like edges. Characters recoil and maneuver around it as a hazardous surface — Liko strikes and is badly gashed, prompting Beverly to beam him to Sickbay.

Purpose
Serves as a holographic camouflage and environmental simulation: to disguise the duck blind as natural rock and recreate convincing terrain for the scene; incidentally functioning as a physical hazard when the projection reinstates.
Significance
Triggers an immediate medical emergency (Liko's head gash) and concretizes the Enterprise's technological agency in front of the Mintakans, feeding their awe and escalating the Prime Directive crisis; functions as a plot device that links engineering action to cultural consequences.
