Tayna Simulation Four (Holodeck Reconstruction)

A high‑fidelity holodeck reconstruction of a guest‑quarter encounter: life‑size holographic figures frozen mid‑motion, suspended dust motes and cloth ripples caught in stasis, ambient lighting matched to the original room, and overlay metadata (timestamp, freeze‑frame marker, curator annotations) visible at the edges. Crew crowd the viewport, voices tighten as the program replays a violent breach and an intimate embrace that has been reframed into evidentiary spectacle.

Purpose

To recreate, freeze, and present a witnessed confrontation as corroborating visual evidence during an investigation and testimonial sequence.

Significance

Functions as curated proof that converts a chaotic private struggle into a deliberate piece of prosecutorial evidence; it escalates stakes by dramatizing Apgar’s violence, shaping witness perception, and forcing command to weigh procedural authority against interpretive context.

Jealousy Ignites — Apgar's Violent Confrontation

Tayna Simulation Four is invoked by Krag after the freeze; while not physically present in the room, the simulation is called as corroborating evidence to contextualize or validate the frozen confrontation—it functions as a follow-up reconstruction meant to corroborate witness testimony.

Before: Idle as a stored holodeck reconstruction (recorded deposition) within the casefiles but not currently projected.

After: Queued/ordered to run by Krag immediately after the freeze command, positioned to supplement the frozen sequence for evidentiary presentation.

Krag Freezes the Holodeck—Violence Recast as Evidence

Tayna Simulation Four is invoked verbally by Krag as the next evidentiary sequence; it is positioned as the follow‑up testimony intended to corroborate or extend the frozen frame's narrative, transforming the confrontation into a multi‑part prosecutorial mosaic.

Before: Queued and inactive — prepared as one of several staged reconstructions in the case file.

After: Commanded to run next — placed into active queue to be executed once the current frozen frame is closed out.
