Archaeological Officer

An unnamed Starfleet archaeological officer who appears as a non-speaking, duty-bound specialist attached to away teams and scientific missions. In this episode the officer arrives with an away team and freezes behind a wounded Worf while medical staff triage a casualty, registering shock but holding position. Their presence signals the ship's broader scientific remit and provides a silent witness to traumatic events; they function narratively as professional observers whose reactions help escalate the emotional stakes without taking direct action.
