Framiss Spigot

A compact, palm‑sized engineering spigot labelled 'framiss' — a threaded, duranium alloy valve with a knurled collar and a faint service-code engraving. Geordi grips the spigot, twisting it home as the final component of a guidance repair; metal settles with a muted click and a hairline seam aligns. The part bears scorch smudges and tool marks from hurried hands, and its installation visibly steadies the guidance assembly until external interference forces diagnostics to resume.

Purpose

To seal, regulate, and mechanically complete a guidance-system feed or hydraulic/servomechanism connection during repairs—serves as the final installable valve/spigot that restores mechanical integrity.

Significance

Functions as a narrative fulcrum: its successful installation signals apparent repair completion and temporary control restored by Geordi, but the Pakleds' staged 'main power failure' immediately undercuts that success, turning a routine maintenance beat into a setup for deception and isolation.

False Failure: Pakleds Weaponize a Routine Repair

Geordi physically twists the last framiss spigot into place as the definitive mechanical action that completes the guidance repair; the installation is the tangible proof of success and the cue for the subsequent power failure.

Before: Handheld by Geordi, bearing scorch smudges and tool marks; not yet installed.

After: Properly seated and clicked into place on the guidance assembly, aligning the hairline seam and signaling local mechanical completion.
