The First Surge: John’s Body as a Battleground

The computer terminal, previously displaying Federation history texts, becomes irrelevant as John’s attention is violently wrenched away by his cellular surge. Its glow fades into the background, overshadowed by the medical monitor’s alarm. The terminal’s role shifts from an information source to a forgotten relic in the face of John’s physical crisis, symbolizing how his struggle eclipses even his desperate search for answers.

Before: Active, displaying Federation history texts; positioned beside John’s biobed, its screen casting a soft glow in the sterile sickbay.

After: Inactive in John’s focus, its screen dimmed or ignored as the medical alarm dominates the room’s sensory landscape.
