Computer Mock-up (Training Simulation)

A compact, freestanding computer mock-up used as a training simulation within Worf's quarters. It presents a flat display surface and muted indicator lights behind a plain metal bezel, with a panel of tactile controls that project ephemeral interface overlays during exercises. The device functions as a believable, low-key environment: Riker and Worf stand before it, consulting simulated readouts and running through tactical permutations as part of a conversation that edges from debate into commitment.

Purpose

To host simulated computer interfaces and tactical scenarios for rehearsal, training, and situational demonstration within a private quarters setting.

Significance

Acts as the concrete stage that converts abstract argument into practiced strategy; by providing a simulated environment, it lets Riker demonstrate tactical disadvantage and pry loose Worf's pledge, anchoring the scene's turning point from debate to enlistment.

Guile and Honor: Worf Commits to the Hathaway

Referenced by Riker as the behavioral context for the simulation — the 'computer mock-up' frames the stakes: Hathaway's weapon-systems exist only in simulation, explaining why guile and personnel matter more than brute force in the coming scenario.

Before: Present as a training/ mock-up concept or device referenced in conversation (not actively manipulated in scene).

After: Remains a conceptual tool; unchanged physically in the quarters but instrumental to the tactical argument that follows.
