Aceton Assimilators

Aceton Assimilators are referenced as the lethal devices described in Galek Sar's log; they are the antagonistic mechanism the team's engineering solution must avoid energizing further while trying to extract power.

Aceton assimilators are identified (via the Promellian log played on the bridge) as the antagonistic devices that siphon ship power and transduce it into lethal radiation. In this event they are not physically modified but are the central threat whose effect Geordi's engineering efforts are trying to counteract.

Aceton Assimilators are identified via the Promellian captain's log as the booby-trap devices embedded in surrounding wreckage that siphon ship power and transduce it into lethal radiation—this revelation reframes the tactical problem from damaged systems to an active, reactive threat.

The assimilators (concealed generator‑like devices) are referenced by Data as the likely beneficiaries of external energy; the phaser discharge risks energizing them. They are the unseen antagonistic technology that turn Federation tactics into sustenance for the trap.

The assimilators — the concealed generator-like devices implied within the wreckage — are narratively energized by the phaser's power. Although not physically seen in the bridge scene, Data warns they may be fed by incoming energy; the event demonstrates that warning as the phaser strike likely supplies them fuel.
