Detailed Involvements
Events with rich location context
Engineering is the designated investigative locus where Riker is ordered to check the organism's growth—functioning as the practical site for technical inspection and as a liminal space where diplomacy yields to hands‑on risk.
Clinical tension with implied danger—technicians and diagnostics implied though unseen, a place of work that could confirm threat or exonerate suspicion.
Worksite for technical diagnosis and containment; also a place where Riker can be exposed to risk or observed for signs of collusion.
Symbolizes the boundary between scientific fact and political interpretation—the place where evidence should strip away rumor.
Technically open to engineers and ordered inspectors; access controlled by command authorization.
Engineering Dorsal is cited as the diagnostic locus Riker must inspect for the organism; it functions offstage as the physical site of the contagion and as a technical stake in whether the ship is sick or sabotaged.
Clinical yet alarming — described through sensor feeds rather than direct presence in the scene.
Diagnostic and investigative location where the organism's measurements will be verified and potential remedies considered.
Represents the ship's vulnerable interface with the void — a place where unseen threats reveal structural weakness.
Restricted to engineering and authorized personnel; entry likely supervised and technical.
