Starship Lounge Corner Table

Wesley's Table (Ten-Forward)

A tucked, semi-secluded table in Ten-Forward where Ensign Wesley Crusher studies beneath a pool of lamplight. The lounge's hum, distant clinks of glass, and the scent of snacks recede here; datapads, open books, and a scatter of food create a slightly cluttered, domestic atmosphere. The table serves as a private island inside a social salon — a site for focused study, blunt intrusions, furtive confession, and small human realignments (notably Brull's snack-stealing visit that reveals his softer side and reframes personal stakes during the episode).

Quiet, private, studious overlayed with a low hum of Ten-Forward; a pocket of stillness within a lively social space.
