Object
Stubbs' Cabin Overhead Lights
A small cluster of low-profile ceiling fixtures fitted with frosted diffusers fitted to the cramped cabin overhead. They provide compact, utilitarian illumination across the bunk and work station; during the blackout they gutter and strobe, then fail one by one until a single arc lashes from the ceiling, producing bright, violent flare, a shower of sparks, and abrupt, total darkness that throws the occupant into shock.

Purpose
Provide localized, general illumination for Dr. Stubbs' private cabin to light the bunk, work surfaces, and personal consoles.
Significance
Acting as an environmental hazard and dramatic device, the lights escalate the crisis: their progressive failure reframes the nanites as an intelligent, targeted threat and culminates in a deliberate electrical arc that injures Stubbs, shifting the plot from nuisance to moral and tactical emergency.
