Wesley's Clear Containment Tubing
A length of narrow, translucent polymer tubing—soft, crystal-clear, and only a few millimetres across—snakes from the antimatter containment orb into its support harness. The tubing ties into a cluster of intricately cabled connectors on the orb, flexing under Wesley's fingers as he detaches the orb. Its transparency reveals faint internal bracing and tiny clamp marks where it was regularly serviced, and its delicate appearance contrasts with the lethal device it interfaces.

Purpose
To serve as a physical interface between the antimatter containment orb and station systems: carrying containment couplings, sensor feeds, and stabilizing lines that permit the orb to remain live and monitored while docked at Wesley's station.
Significance
The tubing registers Wesley's improvised control over a hazardous device—its swift disconnection and concealment dramatize his covert breach of protocol and enable the impulsive jettison that escalates danger for the ship and crew.
