Object
Prearranged Tactical Signal Panel
A palm-sized activation array embedded in the Enterprise bridge tactical console: brushed durasteel bezel, amber backlit glyphs, a recessed ridged trigger and tactile click plate labeled as a signal control. Lights flare under a pressed hand; Worf drives the panel, sending an encoded beacon while the bridge leans into sudden alert and cramped relief.

Purpose
To transmit a prearranged tactical beacon from the Enterprise to allied forces—an emergency aid/distress trigger that calls nearby Klingon vessels when activated.
Significance
Serves as the decisive physical mechanism that averts Tomalak's trap by summoning cloaked Klingon Birds of Prey; it converts an imminent diplomatic catastrophe into a costly reprieve, highlights Worf's contingency authority, and accelerates Jarok's emotional collapse.
