Starship Medical Bay Antechamber

Outside the De-Contamination Area

A sterile, tense threshold just beyond the de-contamination chamber, this space hums with clinical urgency and fraught anticipation. Dim lighting flickers over cold metal surfaces, casting long shadows that heighten the charged atmosphere where life and death hang in delicate balance. Here, Captain Picard and Commander Riker stand rigid with worry, their quiet exchanges eclipsed by the sudden chaos of a medical emergency. Emotions ripple as Laura, ghostlike and stunned, materializes in the doorway, drawing the invisible threads of past and present into the suffocating air. This liminal zone pulses with the weight of unstable experiments and personal hauntings, transforming it into a crucible of crisis and intimate reckoning.
