Security Station, Deck Nine

A cramped, combat-ready security node set on Deck Nine, accessed directly from the bridge through a short corridor. Consoles flare with amber priority indicators and terse message headers; a single viewport or status panel keeps the station tethered to shipwide tactical feeds. The air tastes of recycled metal and charged circuitry as footsteps and the measured stomp of Worf approach. This is a place of immediate response—where coded warnings convert into armed posture, orders become movements, and Klingon exigencies are triaged into Starfleet procedure.
