Object

Debriefing Room Interrogation Table

A sturdy, waist‑high interrogation table anchored in the debriefing room: broad dark composite or laminate surface with scuffed edges and faint impact marks. Low profile rim and enough footprint for datapads or a single cup; forearms press its edge, hands slap and pound its plane. Characters lean, brace and strike the table as a tactile focus—its surface catching the abrupt energy of interrogation and collapse.

Purpose

Provide a stable surface for debriefings, interviews and command meetings—holding datapads, notes, drinks and serving as a support for leaning and emphatic gestures during questioning.

Significance

Acts as a physical punctuation in the interrogation: Setal's slamming and pounding converts rhetorical defiance into visible aggression, concentrates tension at the table's edge, and helps precipitate the emotional and narrative turning point when the prisoner breaks and names Admiral Alidar Jarok.

Troi's Probe Forces Jarok's Name

The interrogation table becomes a physical drum for Setal's escalating frustration: he slams and pounds it to punctuate refusals, using the surface to express anger and to buy time—its impact punctuates denials and signals collapse when the blows cease.

Before: Stationary, scuffed, and serving as the central focal prop of the debriefing platform.

After: Bearing fresh slaps and imprints of the confrontation; its use punctuates Setal's emotional collapse and remains the tactile trace of the interrogation's intensity.

Riker's Accusation Breaks Setal

The interrogation table functions as the tactile focus for Setal's fury: he slams and pounds on it to punctuate denials and deflections. The table absorbs physical violence and becomes a visible marker of the interrogation's escalation and Setal's deteriorating control.

Before: Anchored and undisturbed at center stage of the debriefing platform, ready for notes or restraint of witnesses.

After: Marked by forceful slaps and pounds — smudged and resonant with the memory of the outburst, remaining in place as the locus of interrogation.

Cold Exchange at the Viewport

A waist-high table anchors the scene: Setal sits at it nursing an exotic alien concoction, pushes the drink aside in disgust, and uses the table as the staging point for his brooding. The table functions as tactile grounding for private conversation and visible evidence of Setal's displacement.

Before: Occupied by Setal's exotic drink and situated near the Ten-Forward viewport; scuffed but serviceable.

After: Still in place at the viewport; the drink has been pushed away and the table remains a quiet witness to the exchange.
