Ferengi Lab Transporter Control Panel (Daimon Tog's Device)

A *voice-activated transporter control panel* in the Ferengi lab, mounted on the wall and operated by Daimon Tog. It materializes Lwaxana Troi and Deanna Troi naked at Dr. Farek's command (weaponizing their vulnerability), dematerializes Deanna alone to enforce isolation, and later triggers a hidden panel to reveal a sterile bed. The panel's interface glows as Tog asserts control, using it to advance his telepathic exploitation scheme.
