Geophysical Lab Chair
A utilitarian lab chair with a low padded back, molded seat cushion, and a metal swivel base showing faint scuffing and use-wear. Compact and workmanlike rather than decorative, it sits beside the central survey console and serves as a physical anchor for conversation and command. Characters pivot on it, lean back into its support, and use its position to mark deference or challenge: Wesley moves around it with nervous authority while Davies sinks into it and lets condescension radiate from a casual perch.

Purpose
Provide seating for lab personnel and visitors during geological analysis, briefing, and informal team discussions in the geophysical laboratory.
Significance
Functions as a staging prop that shapes the scene's power dynamics: occupation and posture around the chair make crew skepticism and Wesley's tentative leadership legible, turning a mundane piece of furniture into a focal point for interpersonal undermining and emotional stakes.
