Aft Bridge Station Console
A waist‑high, brushed‑metal aft operations console with a curved rim of layered holo‑displays above tactile control pads and narrow diagnostic strips. Multi‑color status LEDs pulse under load and a low mechanical hum issues from active diagnostics; surface bezels carry faint scuffs from repeated use. In the present beat Worf occupies the station as his steady anchor; when Kurn materializes and claims the bridge the console becomes a charged center of command — fingers hover over pads, lights reflect quickened attention, and the unit channels the clash between Klingon bluntness and Starfleet procedure.

Purpose
Serves as an auxiliary bridge workstation for monitoring sensors, displaying tactical and environmental readouts, and enabling officers to input commands or relay situational reports to the bridge command team.
Significance
Operate as a functional staging point during a politically fraught briefing: it anchors crew positioning and information flow as empathic warnings and diplomatic visuals reshape the scene. The station supports the scene’s tension by hosting data readouts and providing a tangible locus for tactical and observational responses, though it carries no unique symbolic weight in the moment.
