The Enterprise-D uses the deflector to initiate a chain reaction in the atmosphere on Penthara IV. [1]

The deflector beams strike the upper atmosphere. [1]

The Enterprise-D fires a phaser beam. [1]

The beam begins to ionise the dust in the atmosphere. [1]

The ionising shockwave spreads rapidly. [1]

In seconds, the entire planet is encompassed. [1]

The particles in the atmosphere become highly charged. [1]

The last of the particles become ionised. [1]

The ionised particles are pulled to the Enterprise-D's shields, akin to a gigantic lightning blast. [1]

The Enterprise-D soaks up the blast. [1]

The ship strips the ionised dust particles from the atmosphere. [1]
