Enterprise Main Bridge Sensor Array
A sophisticated suite of long-range sensors embedded in the USS Enterprise's main bridge consoles, its displays flicker with streams of data as the system detects subtle energy signatures and drifting debris near sector sixty-three. The sensors emit a low hum, quietly alerting officers like Worf and Geordi to the presence of the USS Horatio wreckage, transforming an abstract threat into an immediate, personal crisis. The crew watches the sensor outputs intently, the glowing panels casting tense shadows across the bridge as the discovery deepens the shadowy Starfleet conspiracy surrounding the wreckage.
