Tryst's Projection Set

Tryst's Projection Set is a compact, portable display device used to project images or data during his expedition presentations. During the encounter in the First Class Corridor, he wields it to manipulate the Doctor and Romana, offering what he claims are fragments of his crew's Vraxoin smuggling operation. The set's subtle controls allow him to control the flow of information, shaping their investigation while obscuring his own involvement.
