Electrostatic Differential in Vico's Docking Latches
Geordi analyzes forensic scans of the USS Vico's docking latches at the Enterprise bridge science station. He reports zero electrostatic differential, a telltale sign of recent physical docking that would linger from boarders' ships clamping on. Picard, Data, and later Troi weigh this absence against Timothy's intruder claims, as it rules out standard entry ports amid speculation on cloaked assaults.
