Ship Communications Speakers (Com Voice)
Flush-mounted bridge communication speakers and internal com channel that project the ship's synthetic voices across the main bridge. Metallic grilles sit recessed in bulkheads and consoles; audio emerges clear at first then warbles and stretches into slow, distorted fragments as the wormhole's relativistic effects bite. Officers flinch, lean toward the source, and Wesley frantically reroutes timing corrections.

Purpose
To broadcast internal and external com-channel audio to the main bridge, delivering officer-to-bridge and external contact voices for situational awareness and command coordination.
Significance
Functions as a diegetic plot device that makes time-dilation audible: Data's voice slows and fragments through these speakers, forcing Wesley to compensate and revealing communication vulnerabilities that escalate the mission's peril.
