Stone Block Stairway to Old Bandi City

The stone block stairway rises sharply from glowing alien tunnels into the ancient ruins of Bandi City beneath Farpoint Station. Rough-hewn and weathered by time, the stairway acts as a precarious threshold between mysterious underground passages and the long-abandoned city above. Flickering lights and echoing explosions cast ominous shadows along the worn steps as Commander Riker and Data ascend alone, navigating this dangerous conduit under mounting pressure. This narrow passage embodies rising tension and isolation, marking a critical juncture in the away team's perilous mission to uncover the secrets hidden within the subterranean city.
