Object

Geordi's Makeshift Work-Table

A crude, improvised work surface assembled within the pit: a flat, roughly planed plank laid across packed earth and rock, low to mid-height, streaked with wet mud and flecks of bright, molten metal. Heat-darkened patches and smudged fingerprints mark where Geordi rests tools, braces molds, and pours molten ore while shaping the escape pole.

Purpose

Provide a stable, temporary surface for molding, casting, and shaping molten ore into a climbing pole during Geordi's escape improvisation.

Significance

Acts as the physical staging ground for Geordi's ingenuity—without this ad hoc surface he could not cast and shape the pole that enables his escape, making it a pivotal practical object that converts environment into opportunity.

Molten Silver: Geordi Forges an Escape Pole

The makeshift work‑table — a plank laid across packed earth — provides a stable, low surface on which Geordi clears dirt, braces the mold, sets ore fragments, and pours molten metal. It organizes the cramped workspace and allows repeatable casting actions under storm conditions.

Before: Assembled in the pit, streaked with wet mud and used as a temporary work surface.

After: Streaked with steam, mineral residue, and molten splatter; continues to function as a bracing surface and evidence of the improvised casting process.
