Science One Computer Terminal
A compact, angular bridge workstation anchored at the Enterprise’s Science One position: tactile glass panels, multiplexed display tiles, and a low blue indicator glow. Trimmed in matte alloy with inset command glyphs, the terminal bears routine scuffs from heavy bridge use. Officers lean in to tap cascading readouts; during the authority shift Data uses its controls and displays to stabilize telemetry while Mendon hovers with eager notes and Worf watches nearby, restraint radiating from his posture.

Purpose
Serve as the bridge’s science/computational terminal for monitoring sensors, running analyses, and providing a manned workstation that supports operational decisions and tactical/science coordination.
Significance
Acts as a focal point for the transfer of command and the tightening of discipline: the terminal anchors Data’s assumption of control, frames Mendon’s over-eagerness against Worf’s enforcement of protocol, and functions as a spatial marker that codifies authority and procedure on the bridge.
