Starship Briefing Room

Maintenance Unit 15 Briefing Area 2

A utilitarian conference space within the Starliner Reception, configured for technical briefings. Sleek metal bulkheads and adjustable lighting cast long shadows across a central holographic display table. The air carries the faint hum of ventilation and the sterile tang of recirculated air. Fluorescent strips overhead flicker intermittently, revealing worn but functional seating arranged in a tight semicircle around the table. Emergency bulkhead markings glow in the dim corners, a constant reminder of the Starliner’s primary mission. The space smells faintly of overheated circuitry and polished composite.
