Object
Geordi La Forge's Hot-Wired Bypass
A hastily assembled emergency power bridge: short lengths of insulated conductor, clamp‑style splices, a hand‑held coupling block and a small diagnostic lead. Durability tradeoffs show bare braid and scorch-smudges where contacts meet; the assembly hums and glows faintly under load. Geordi rigs and manipulates the link directly, fingers steady as consoles flicker and Wesley watches, aghast.

Purpose
To create an improvised electrical bridge that feeds emergency power into a crippled core/processor, allowing diagnostics, limited subsystem energization, and visualization of internal processor cross-sections.
Significance
Serves as the literal instrument that forces disclosure: by powering Processor 451 enough to examine it, the bypass reveals a deliberate lesion and transforms a technical repair into a moral crisis—Wesley's private recognition and guilty response hinge on the bypass's success.
