The Enterprise’s Pivot: A Race Against Fading Trails

The Enterprise Bridge Console Screen is the focal point of Riker’s analysis, displaying Kivas Fajo’s orbital logs in real-time. As Riker punches up the monitor, the screen flashes with critical data: Fajo’s duration in orbit around Lya Four and his departure time—just over seven hours prior. This information is the linchpin of the crew’s decision to redirect the Enterprise, as it confirms the narrow window of opportunity to intercept Fajo. The screen’s data is both a tool for intelligence gathering and a symbol of the urgency driving the crew’s actions.

Before: Inactive, displaying standard bridge operations data.

After: Active, now showing Fajo’s orbital logs and departure time, which are used to plot the course to Lya Four.
