Geordi's Makeshift Spike Tools
Two crude, hand-sized spikes fashioned from local silver ore by melting with a phaser. Each tapers to an uneven point, the metal pocked and blackened where heat fused seams into a rough shaft; thumb-sized grips show melted ridges and scorch marks. Geordi drives them into sodden earth, hauling himself upward while fingers blister and hands scrape for purchase.
