Impulse: Momentum Toward Confrontation
The Enterprise surges to full impulse, a silent but violent propulsion that converts mounting, personal tension into decisive movement.

The acceleration visually and thematically punctuates the shift from interrogation and unease to an all-in pursuit, underscoring stakes of honor, political danger, and impending violence as the teaser closes.
