Red Alert Switch

The Red Alert Switch is activated by Riker amidst the chaos, sounding klaxon alarms and flooding the bridge with red emergency lighting, signaling an official state of emergency and rallying the crew to urgent action.

The Red Alert Switch is activated near the climax of the event to sound the ship-wide klaxon and initiate blinking red alarm lights, signaling an official emergency state. This device marks the peak of crisis response as the crew scramble to regain control after Picard’s violent outburst and disappearance.

The Red Alert Switch is physically engaged by Riker amid the crisis to sound the klaxon and flood the ship with emergency red lighting, signaling an immediate state of high alert following Picard’s violent actions and subsequent disappearance.

The Red Alert Switch functions as the rhetorical and operational object of contention: Worf and Riker invoke the need to flip it to escalate to full combat readiness, but Picard refuses, keeping the switch physically and symbolically unflipped to avoid provocative action.

The Red Alert switch functions as the physical locus of escalation in the dialogue — urged by Riker and Worf but withheld by Picard. Its unflipped status embodies restraint and the moral stakes of the captain's choice.

The Red Alert control (bridge invocation) is rhetorically invoked by Data's recommendation and physically activated by Picard's command 'Make it so.' Its activation marks the formal shift from investigation to defense: alarms, tactical readiness, and an elevated state of preparedness follow as direct consequences.

The Red Alert system is activated at the instant of the Borg's appearance, transforming incidental alarm into formal emergency. Its audiovisual cues — flashing indicator text, pulsating red lighting, and shipwide klaxons — force immediate procedural responses from bridge and engineering personnel and drive tactical mobilization.

The Red Alert system is invoked during the engagement and then ends once the tractor releases and the phaser volleys succeed; its activation signals shipwide emergency response and its ending marks a tactical lull in which command assesses damage and loss.

The Red Alert indicator governs bridge behavior: alarms and alert status frame the firefight and subsequent silence; its ending marks the tactical lull after the tractor is released and underscores the transition from action to the clinical aftermath.

The Red Alert system is triggered at the onset of hostilities, changing ship-wide status to emergency: it sets the bridge into combat posture, tightens communication cadence, and signals all departments to prepare for immediate defensive action.

The Red Alert Switch is tripped at the outset of the engagement, triggering shipwide emergency protocols, alarm tones, and a shift to crisis posture that concentrates the bridge crew into rapid tactical action.

The shipwide Red Alert is triggered at the start of the engagement, instantly altering lighting and protocol: it signals all departments to battle stations and frames the scene's heightened stakes.

The Red Alert indicator and shipwide alert signal the crisis posture; klaxons and red lighting mobilize the crew into emergency procedure and then fall silent when Q returns the ship to safety, marking tonal shift from panic to stunned relief.

The Red Alert 'switch' manifests as the shipwide alarm state: lights, klaxons, and heightened procedural focus. Its activation signals imminent danger and its termination marks the sudden end of the crisis after Q's intervention.

The Red Alert status functions as an atmospheric and procedural object: it is active during the attack, driving the crew's urgent behavior, and ceases when Q ends the encounter and the Enterprise is returned.

The Red Alert switch/system activates automatically when the T'Ong fires, changing lighting and triggering alarms; it formalizes the transition from watch to combat-ready state and heightens the scene's urgency.

The Red Alert control is triggered automatically when the T'Ong fires, bathing the bridge in red and compelling immediate procedural responsiveness; it signifies the escalation from observational caution to active threat response.

The Red Alert switch is actuated as the ship goes to emergency posture; Picard then cancels Red Alert as part of his tactical pivot — a visible, procedural gesture that signals both alarm and controlled command recalibration.

The Red Alert switch is activated as the ship initially transitions to simulated engagement protocols; Picard then deliberately cancels the alert as part of his feint, snapping the bridge from defensive alarm to controlled tactical theater.

The Red Alert Switch is physically and narratively used: Picard engages Red Alert when the Romulan appears, then cancels it as he recognizes the deception—this tactile action punctuates the shift from alarm to controlled response.

The activation of Red Alert (implied by the scene's sudden alarm state) floods the bridge with emergency indications and a pulsating crimson wash, snapping crew into combat posture and triggering priority procedural responses.

The Red Alert system is triggered as the ship takes real hits; although the physical switch's flip is not narrated line‑by‑line, the bridge plunges into Red Alert status — the object (switch/system) catalyzes the emergency posture and urgent tactile feedback across the bridge.
