Object
Pakled Vessel Interior Bulkhead
A worn, utilitarian bulkhead of matte alloy panels and reinforced seam struts that fills the cramped interior of the Pakled vessel. Scuff marks, small dents and smeared fingerprints crowd its surface; faint scorch pitting and a low service grille betray improvised maintenance. The panel rises from deck to overhead and presents a blunt, immovable plane that characters shove, slam and lean against—used to pin Geordi, catch his weight after each stun, and hold him upright while his VISOR is inspected.

Purpose
Serve as a structural interior partition and mounting surface within the Pakled ship; provide a rigid vertical plane used for containment and support during movement and confrontations.
Significance
Acts as the literal and narrative point of contact for Geordi’s abuse—its hard surface transforms stun trauma into lasting vulnerability, enabling the Pakleds’ coercion and turning a staged rescue into explicit extortion. Marks and dents on the bulkhead visually record the violence and raise urgency for the Enterprise crew.
