Object
Sickbay Doors (Enterprise Corridor Entrance)
A pair of shipboard sliding doors set into the Sickbay bulkhead, low-profile and clinical in appearance. The leaves part smoothly and quietly on concealed tracks, revealing the faint glow of medical interiors beyond. Crew members pause at the threshold; the doors' measured motion punctuates the exchange between Data and Sarjenka, converting intimate conversation into a formal entry and sealing the scene's shift to clinical procedure.

Significance
