Risan Pleasure Haven Lobby Sensor Panel

A grid-patterned sensor panel embedded in the lobby wall of the Risan Pleasure Haven, providing direct access to the resort's computer system. The panel is flush-mounted and pulses with inner light when activated, linking users to the resort's computer core. Ajur uses precise palm commands to override the system's passive protocols and query guest lodging information, including records on Captain Picard's lodging. The panel's utilitarian design contrasts with the lobby's plush, sensual surroundings, where relaxed guests are present. Boratus observes as the interface clashes with the system's initial denial of Picard's presence.

The Vorgons' Ominous Arrival: A Threat Materializes in Paradise

The Risan Pleasure Haven's Lobby Sensor Panel serves as the primary interface for the Vorgons' inquiry into Captain Picard's whereabouts. Ajur places her palm on the panel, which glows faintly in response, activating the resort's computer system. The panel's utilitarian design clashes with the lobby's plush, sensual surroundings, symbolizing the intrusion of cold efficiency into a space designed for relaxation. Its role is functional, providing the Vorgons with the information they seek, albeit contradicting Ajur's insistent belief in Picard's arrival.

Before: Inactive and integrated into the lobby wall, ready for use by resort staff or guests.

After: Deactivated after Ajur removes her hand, returning to its dormant state but now marked by the Vorgons' interaction.

Its denial of Picard’s presence becomes a critical obstacle, forcing the Vorgons to confront the limitations of their temporal advantage.

Before: Inactive but operational, embedded in the lobby wall, ready for queries.
