Tanugan Lab (holodeck forensic reconstruction)
Detailed Involvements
Events with rich location context
The Tanugan laboratory is recreated inside the holodeck as the setting for the deposition: clinical benches, banks of consoles, humming condensers and a medium reactor are rendered to produce a faithful forensic stage where interpersonal dynamics and technical data intersect.
Clinical and tension-filled: fluorescent glare, low mechanical hums, and an undercurrent of social awkwardness create charged stillness.
Stage for evidentiary reenactment and cross-examination; a neutralized 'crime scene' where testimony can be replayed and inspected.
Represents contested truth — where private intimacy (Manua) and public science (Apgar's work) collide; the lab embodies both technical authority and human vulnerability.
Presented as a restricted research environment in the narrative; simulation still limits access to those involved in the inquiry (investigators, Starfleet officers).
The Tanugan lab—recreated within the holodeck/space-station laboratory—functions as the staged forensic arena for the deposition, translating raw instrument detail and social interactions into a single, examinable scene that binds technical fact to human behavior.
Clinically lit and tension-filled: the room feels like a controlled forensic chamber punctured by an abrupt, erotic interruption that heightens discomfort.
Meeting place and staged reconstruction site where testimony, technical data, and interpersonal dynamics converge for investigative scrutiny.
Embodies the collision between rational scientific work and messy human motives—where instruments and intimacy both become evidence.
Reconstructed for investigators and observers only; access implied limited to authorized personnel through holodeck control.
The Main Laboratory Area is used twice: first, holograms of Riker and Apgar stand there during the resumed program where Apgar lodges a grievance; second, it functions as the formal viewing space where observers watch the holodeck reconstructions and Krag overlays his hypothetical, turning private rooms into public evidence.
Cold, clinical, and accusatory—light washes faces in cyan and transforms private pain into formal display.
Stage for formal review and forensic reenactment; a public forum where private incident is converted into institutional testimony.
Represents the transformation of personal conflict into institutional scrutiny and the loss of private agency under procedural observation.
Restricted to investigators, senior officers, and authorized observers during reconstruction.
The Main Laboratory Area is the backdrop for the holodeck's forensic display: after the guest-quarters tableau is frozen, holograms of Riker and Apgar reappear in the lab where Krag can superimpose telemetry and reenact the alleged final moments, turning private drama into public forensic spectacle.
Clinical, accusatory — cold cyan light washes faces and renders emotions secondary to projected data streams.
Staging area for the official holodeck reconstruction and evidentiary presentation.
Represents institutional adjudication where private human conflict is translated into objective, prosecutable data.
Controlled — access limited to investigative personnel and attending officers during the reconstruction.
The holodeck's Main Laboratory Area (reconstructed) is the primary stage for the later part of the recon, where holographic Riker and Apgar appear and where Krag replays the hypothetical 'Krag One'—it functions as a clinical, accusatory arena where technical readouts wash faces in cyan and testimony becomes spectacle.
Coldly forensic and tense, with a clinical wash of readouts and a stillness that magnifies the accusatory visuals.
Stage for the forensic replay and public confrontation; a controlled environment where evidence is displayed and frozen.
Embodies institutional scrutiny: the laboratory space turns private conflict into prosecutable data.
Controlled by ship officers and investigators; participants include command, Krag, and selected witnesses.
