Promellian Tactical Display

A recessed, wall-mounted Promellian console: matte obsidian faceplate bordered by corroded metallic ribs, roughly the size of a small muralized panel. When Data rigs a makeshift power pack the screen coughs to life in dim amber glyphs and schematics—schematized positron ducts, channelled power traces and compact command nodes—rendered in unfamiliar angular geometry. The readout flickers under low power; Worf photographs and annotates it while Picard studies layout cues, the display behaving like an archaeological blueprint more than a modern interface.

Purpose

To display the warship's tactical schematics, sensor overlays, power-distribution maps and integrated command-circuit diagnostics for onboard situational awareness and operational control.

Significance

Provides crucial forensic evidence linking Promellian engineering (massive positron ducts and integrated circuitry) to later Federation concepts; informs the away team's identification of targets and strategies for subverting the ship's lethal radiation trap.

Emergency Light on Promellian Powerworks

The Promellian tactical display, previously dark and inert, flickers to life under the improvised power source, presenting schematized positron ducting and command nodes. It functions as forensic evidence linking Promellian design to later Federation systems and as a target for documentation.

Before: Unpowered, dark, and effectively unreadable to the away team.

After: Dimly active under low power — flickering amber glyphs and schematics visible and photographed by the away team for analysis.
