Teaser: Write a scene of an episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation where an away team including Commander Riker explores Earth's Long term waste isolation pilot program, navigates the spikes and sees the notice that starts "this is not a place of honor". The away mission goes horribly wrong and an ensign quickly succumbs to radiation poisoning. The interference means the transporter doesn't work.

Commander Riker and the away team cautiously made their way through the crumbling corridors of Earth's long-term waste isolation pilot program. They were in full environmental suits, but the radiation levels were still alarmingly high.

"Watch your step, Ensign," Riker warned as they navigated around a jagged spike protruding from the floor. "This place is a death trap."

As they continued, they came across a notice on the wall that read: "This is not a place of honor. No highly esteemed deed is commemorated here. Nothing valued is here."

@danhon the bit where data explains something at length that has expository value for the audience but does absolutely nothing to solve the actual problem 🎯

@danhon I gotta say, this is poetically bleak in a very apropos way. "This is not a place of honor. No highly esteemed deed is commemorated here. Nothing valued is here."
