Prison Cell

Zorn's Cell

Zorn's Cell pulses with a living menace deep inside the alien vessel's organic interior at Farpoint Station. This cylindrical confinement chamber imprisons Groppler Zorn within a shimmering forcefield that radiates palpable agony and symbiotic malevolence linked to the ancient Bandi city. The chamber's walls and floor undulate and shift like a sentient predator responding violently to intrusion. When the away team disables the forcefield, the cell transforms into a merciless battleground as plasma tendrils lash out and the floor softens into deadly traps. This hostile, pulsating space traps Troi, Data, and Tasha in escalating peril, embodying the vessel's savage defense and the profound mystery entwining alien life and human exploitation.
