Terminus
Detailed Involvements
Events with rich location context
The Terminus is invoked by Geordi as the directional source funneling accretion matter into the wormhole; it functions as the off-screen origin of the energetic inflow that heralds increasing instability.
Implied dynamic — a distant, unseen source of growing energetic pressure.
Source point for incoming matter and particle flux affecting the wormhole.
Represents hidden causal forces complicating otherwise controlled operations.
Not directly accessible or visible from the shuttle in this scene.
The terminus is the offstage origin funneling accretion matter into the wormhole; Geordi’s early detection of increased accretion from the terminus helps frame the environmental cause of the instability.
Imposed external pressure—an invisible but measurable source of increasing turbulence.
Source of energetic inflow driving the wormhole’s instability.
The terminus is referenced as the directional origin funneling accretion matter into the wormhole; the detected inflow from the terminus provides the first sensor cue that the wormhole's stability is changing.
Distant and mechanistic; a remote source whose behavior manifests as measurable danger.
Source of incoming accretion matter that signals growing instability in the wormhole.
