The First Healing and the Unleashed Storm: John’s Powers Erupt in Public

The corridor wall panel serves as an unintended catalyst for the Color Wash’s uncontrolled eruption. As John Doe stumbles away from the healed crewman, his hand brushes the panel, and the energy surges through it, spreading rapidly and disrupting the ship’s systems. The panel is a mundane object transformed into a conduit for chaos, symbolizing how even the most ordinary elements can become dangerous when exposed to John’s unstable power. Its role in this event underscores the fragility of the Enterprise’s systems and the unpredictable nature of John’s evolution.

Before: A standard Starfleet corridor wall panel, unremarkable and functional, part of the ship’s infrastructure.

After: A conduit for the Color Wash, its surface shimmering with residual energy as the surge spreads through the corridor, leaving the panel—and the ship—vulnerable to further disruption.
