Wounded Romulan Brought Aboard — Security Clashes with Medicine
In the transporter room a gravely injured Romulan survivor is beamed aboard amid storm-driven tension. Dr. Beverly Crusher immediately orders triage and transfer to Sickbay while Worf insists on posting security guards, turning a medical emergency into a custody and diplomatic flashpoint. O'Brien reports the storms have obliterated any trace of La Forge, and Riker urges another rescue while Picard refuses to risk another away team. The scene sets up Worf's moral conflict, the Romulan leverage that will provoke Tomalak, and the urgent stakes of finding Geordi.
