Diagram of Riker's Body
A Sickbay diagnostic schematic — a handheld printout or palm-sized holo overlay that maps Commander William Riker's anatomy with layered displays: neural interpretive cortex, metabolic readouts, and a highlighted locus where an alien organism registers activity. Biofeedback traces pulse in near real time as Pulaski studies the display and Troi cross-references Riker's emotional markers while he reclines on a biobed.

Purpose
To display real-time anatomical and physiological data for Riker, correlating neural stimulation with metabolic responses so medical staff can monitor, target, and adjust diagnostic stimulation of the interpretive cortex.
Significance
Functions as the decisive medical reference that reveals the organism's metabolic coupling to Riker's memories, prompting Pulaski's risky diagnostic gamble to amplify recollections; it thus catalyzes the scene's ethical and life‑or‑death stakes.
