Object
Wesley's Cave Fire
A modest fire crackles in the cave's dim interior on a desolate moon, its flames casting faint orange light and meager warmth against biting cold. Wesley tends it relentlessly over days, adding fuel and shielding it to sustain Picard's life while the captain lies unconscious. Rescue team members—Beverly, Worf, and Data—enter to find it still burning as Picard stirs.
