Concealed Natural Hollow

Hastily Carved Stone Hollow on Data's Homeworld

A small, rectangular depression carved into the barren rock of Data's desolate home planet, this hollow masquerades as a natural formation but reveals itself as a rushed concealment. It shelters the simple stone pallet where Data was first found, embodying the abrupt collapse of a lost colonist sanctuary. The raw, unpolished hollow stands as a grim monument to the vanished agricultural colony and the mysterious origins of Data, cloaked in quiet desolation and urgent secrecy amid the lifeless terrain. Also described as a stark, rectangular hollow chiselled into the lifeless rock surface, with subtle signs of artificial construction and a hidden entrance unveiled by Geordi La Forge, reflecting the colony's desperate attempt to mask their existence beneath the barren terrain.
