Doctor Beverly Crusher's Medical Tricorder

A palm‑sized Starfleet medical tricorder with a matte alloy chassis and a narrow sensor emitter. Its compact display pulses clipped amber and cyan waveform readouts while the unit emits short diagnostic chirps as BEVERLY sweeps the beam over Captain Rachel Garrett on the ravaged Enterprise‑C bridge. Scuffs and soot mar the casing from the battle, and the screen quickly cross‑references trauma metrics and life‑signs as crew gather around the device for immediate clinical data.

Purpose

Handheld medical diagnostic scanner used to measure vital signs, analyze injuries and tissue status, and produce immediate readouts to guide emergency triage and treatment.

Significance

Functions as the clinical instrument that personalizes the casualty on the shattered bridge: it anchors Beverly's triage, supplies decisive medical facts that shape evacuation and command choices, and converts human cost into technical data that propels the crew's moral and strategic decisions.
