Roga Danar's Cell Meal Tray
A modest, utilitarian meal tray holding a single synthesized portion: a shallow serving bowl, a folded napkin, and standard-issue metal cutlery. The food sits compact and unadorned, faint steam still rising from the serving. The tray rests on the detention-cell bench; Roga Danar sets it down with quiet deliberation while Data, Picard, Troi, and Worf stand nearby. The object reads domestic and banal against the charged atmosphere, handled as an everyday necessity turned into a deliberate, personal prop.
