Object
Guest Lounge Television (Teevee)
Wall-mounted, human-scale entertainment display embedded in the Enterprise guest lounge. The unit emits a soft, watchable image and audio from a flat viewing surface sized for casual group viewing; its bezel and mount read as standard starship furnishings and it appears operable and well-maintained. Guests treat it as a domestic focal point: Sonny fidgets with its controls, Ralph and Clare set their attention on the screen, and others use it as a brief comfort while officers attend to duty.
