Object
Modest Holodeck Living Set
A compact, domestic holodeck stage fitted with neutral furnishings and modest trim: composite flooring, pared‑back seating, soft overhead lighting and a small wall mirror that returns reflected avatars. The projection matrix renders four distinct candidate images (an Andorian female mirror‑image, a musclebound human male, a human female and a Klingon male) at human scale. Characters step up to the set; Data cues the cycles, Troi reads the room, and Lal studies each option against this intimate, functional backdrop.

Purpose
To provide a controlled holodeck simulation for presenting and cycling visual avatars so Data and Lal can compare candidate physical forms during an identity-selection exercise.
Significance
Functions as the staged space where Lal asserts emergent agency by choosing her appearance; the set crystallizes the parent/creator relationship between Data and Lal and raises moral stakes about autonomy and institutional control, foreshadowing later conflict over personhood.
