Jakmanite
Jakmanite stands among five suspect substances scanned by the Engineering team during the sabotage crisis. Reginald Barclay analyzes its properties and declares its 15-second half-life too brief for ship-wide dispersal, eliminating it from consideration. Geordi La Forge, Wesley Crusher, and Duffy review the data amid computer warnings of engine failure, marking Barclay's insight as the pivot that refines their search.
