Object
Observation Lounge Conference Chair
A single, utilitarian conference chair stationed in the Enterprise observation lounge near the central briefing area. It features a molded composite shell, neutral gray padded upholstery, modest backrest and short armrests, and a low swivel base. The surface bears faint scuffing and a subtle warm imprint from recent use. During the forensic reconstruction, officers settle into the chair, push back from it, and use it as a physical anchor for exchange—its presence structuring posture, proximity, and the charged focus of the group.

Purpose
Provide seating for officers and visitors during briefings, forensic reviews, and observational work inside the observation lounge.
Significance
These chairs structure the political choreography of the scene: they anchor the conference table where stakes are debated, frame power dynamics between host and guests, and become a locus of minor dispute and disrupted decorum after the Ferengi’s ostentation undermines the solemn exchange.
