Object
Holographic Simulation Viewer
A compact, high-fidelity holoprojector and display console that renders arcade-game–style graphics into full three-dimensional holograms. It throws parallax light and translucent overlays of an asteroid field and a holographic Leah Brahms across the drafting room, with a tactile control surface and status readouts. Geordi manipulates inputs at the console while the COMPUTER VOICE narrates outcomes; he studies repeated runs, growing alarmed when identical inputs produce a lethal, frozen model and a calm countdown.

Purpose
To run, visualize, and iterate escape simulations—rendering navigational models and virtual crew avatars so operators can test vectors and system responses.
Significance
Acts as the crucible for a crucial realization: the trap contains an inconsistent variable that defeats deterministic algorithms. The viewer turns a technical exercise into a narrative turning point, shattering Geordi's faith in pure simulation and precipitating the decision to abandon strict automation in favor of human-led risk.
