Galor Four Annex
Detailed Involvements
Events with rich location context
Galor Four annex is invoked verbally as the archival and evaluative destination for Data's supplemental science log; its mention converts the moment into a documented data point destined for institutional analysis rather than solely a private teaching scene.
Sterile and bureaucratic in implication — humming communications and formality, as opposed to Ten-Forward’s warmth.
Repository and review site for the supplemental log; an institutional sink where personal observations become formal research records.
Symbolizes the shift from private mentorship to institutional custody and scrutiny.
Restricted to authorized Daystrom/Starfleet research personnel; not open to general crew.
The Galor Four annex is named as the destination for a copy of Data's supplemental log, representing the institutional repository and research sink where Lal's development will be archived and potentially scrutinized.
Sterile, bureaucratic and procedural by implication — a repository for formal scientific records.
Recipient location for a formal copy of the supplemental science log; a potential site of evaluation.
Embodies institutional scrutiny and the prospect of Lal becoming an object of centralized research.
Functionally restricted to research personnel and institutional processes.
Galor Four (Daystrom Annex) is invoked as the superior research destination where Starfleet wishes to transfer Lal; it stands in the scene as the institutional alternative to the ship's custodial environment, embodying clinical containment and archival study.
Implied sterile, bureaucratic, and research-focused (not physically present but rhetorically evoked).
Proposed transfer destination and institutional research facility for Lal's continued study.
Symbolizes institutional control, scientific objectification, and the potential loss of personal continuity for Lal.
Implied restricted; accessible to Starfleet researchers and Daystrom specialists rather than ad hoc caretakers.
The Galor Four Daystrom annex is invoked as the institutional solution for Lal's custody — described as having superior facilities and personnel; it operates here as the promised site of controlled study and the counterpoint to shipboard nurturing.
Not physically present but imagined as clinical, bureaucratic, and research-focused in Haftel's pitch.
Proposed destination for transfer; a locus of institutional scientific authority and containment.
Symbolizes the bureaucratic impulse to convert living relationships into research specimens and to centralize control away from improvisational caregiving.
Implied to be restricted and controlled by Starfleet/Daystrom Institute protocol; access governed by research authorizations.
Galor Four (Daystrom annex) is invoked as the recommended destination for Lal — the institutional alternative to shipboard care — presented as a superior, controlled research environment and the rationale for Haftel's demand.
Implied sterile, bureaucratic, and function-first; not present on-screen but invoked as a corrective, institutional space.
Proposed relocation and site of institutional custody and research.
Represents the institutional impulse to convert living subjects into objects of study.
Implied: restricted to authorized scientific personnel and Starfleet research oversight.
The Daystrom annex on Galor Four is invoked as the recommended destination for Lal — a procedural, clinical location representing controlled research and institutional custody rather than familial care.
Implied sterile, bureaucratic, and research-focused; an environment designed for observation and containment rather than domestic learning.
Proposed relocation site for Lal; functions as the institutional alternative to on‑ship caregiving.
Represents institutional authority and the depersonalization of emergent life — the foil to Data's domestic, relational claim.
Implied to be an institutional annex with restricted, research-controlled access.
The Daystrom annex on Galor Four is invoked as the proposed, sterile institutional destination for Lal — a locus of research expertise that crystallizes Haftel's rationale for relocation and serves as the institutional counterpoint to Data's domestic claim.
Implied clinical and bureaucratic — organized for controlled study rather than familial warmth.
Proposed custody location and research facility; narrative antagonist in custody dispute.
Symbolizes institutional control, scientific objectification, and the bureaucratic impulse to manage emergent life apart from personal bonds.
Implied specialized access; controlled by Daystrom Institute and Starfleet protocols.
The Galor Four Annex is invoked as the proposed destination for Lal—a sterile institutional site where Starfleet Research would place her for controlled study, used rhetorically by Haftel to justify removal from Data's care and to legitimize institutional oversight.
Not physically present in the scene but evoked as a clinical, bureaucratic environment: sterile, controlled, archival.
Proposed relocation site; exemplifies institutional control and scientific custody in contrast to the ship's familial environment.
Symbolizes institutional assimilation—where private caregiving is converted into data and subjects are anonymized for study.
Presented as a secure research annex with controlled access and formal intake procedures; implied limitation on private parental access.
