Apgar Lab Converter Reactor
A compact laboratory converter/reactor housed in Nel Apgar's station laboratory. The unit is encased in a battered metallic containment with visible energy conduits, mirror coils that form part of the converter rig, and a ring of status indicators; it accepts reflected energy inputs (including a Lambda-field feed) and hums with low-frequency power. In the holodeck deposition it functions as visible lab infrastructure and is central to a returning pulse event that overwhelms its containment. Appears in the same holodeck deposition scenes and is referenced by Tayna, Geordi, Picard, and Riker.

Purpose
To supply and manage the energy flow for Apgar's converter experiment—receiving, reflecting, and conditioning high-energy discharges through mirror coils as part of Krieger Wave generation and laboratory-scale power handling.
Significance
Serves as the decisive forensic object: its detonation during the reconstructed pulse proves Apgar produced and timed lethal Krieger Waves, exonerates Riker, and exposes Apgar's deception and ambition, shifting the investigation from competing testimony to demonstrable physical causation.
