Object
Medical Hypospray
A sleek, handheld hypospray with a polished clinical shell and a narrow atomizing nozzle. Roughly palm-sized, it combines brushed metal and polymer, with a visible dosage indicator window and a fingertip trigger. Beverly Crusher grips it at the base of a subject's neck to deliver a rapid, non‑invasive microinjection; the device hums softly as it disperses a mist into skin tissue. A sterile instrument kept on Sickbay trays, it appears primed during the thawing and stabilization of twenty‑first‑century cryonics subjects and receives immediate, purposeful use from medical personnel and nearby command officers.

Purpose
To deliver precise, rapid transdermal microdoses of medication (e.g., Tricordrazine) without needles for emergency stabilization and immediate medical intervention.
Significance
Functions as a narrative fulcrum for urgent medical decisions: it enables Pulaski's pragmatic triage, buys precarious time during an escalating neural crisis, and participates in a failed last-ditch attempt to revive Ian—turning clinical procedure into a moment of intimate grief and moral consequence.
