Geordi's Piano

Mentioned only as a personal piano tied to Geordi by a rhetorical quip, this acoustic keyboard remains undescribed in physical detail within the current material. Characters invoke the instrument as a marker of fine motor skill and daily life; its imagined presence implies a conventional full‑size piano (wooden case, weighted keys) that Geordi plays when healthy.

Purpose

To produce musical sound for performance and personal expression (piano playing).

Significance

Serves as a shorthand for bodily autonomy and professional identity: Geordi’s worry about whether he will "be able to play the piano again" compresses fear of physical impairment into a concrete skill loss, heightening the moral urgency after the cloning‑material discovery.

Before: Unreferenced and metaphorical, belonging to Geordi in personal memory.

After: Unchanged physically; the quip's levity is cut short by the tricorder's clinical finding.
