Apgar Science Station
Detailed Involvements
Events with rich location context
Apgar Science Station is referenced as the destroyed crime scene whose explosion and instrument behavior are central to the investigation; it supplies the telemetry, ground-computer data, and physical configurations that the Holodeck must reproduce.
Referred to as a ruined, technical locus of tragedy — charred, unreliable, and forensic in nature.
Subject of reconstruction and the origin point of the alleged crime; provides the empirical data that will decide culpability.
Embodies the lethal cost of experimental science and is the objective ground truth the parties seek.
Currently under Tanugan investigation and evidence collection; access controlled by planetary authorities.
Apgar Science Station is the off‑world site of the explosion that catalyzes the dispute; it is the factual target for reconstruction and the source of lab computer data and Krieger equipment specifications.
Ruined, scorched, and forensic — the site of a lethal technical failure that demands explanation.
Primary locus of the incident to be recreated and analyzed in the Holodeck reconstruction.
Represents the human cost and stakes behind what otherwise reads as legal and jurisdictional maneuvering.
Planet-side site restricted to investigators and away teams; evidence collection subject to local authority control.
Apgar Science Station is the real-world locus of the later explosion and the source of telemetry Krag uses; in this event it is referenced and visually implied by the reconstruction as the site destroyed after the alleged phaser discharge.
Evocative of scorched ruin in hindsight—its mention injects threat and mortality into the otherwise domestic holodeck scene.
Origin site of the alleged crime and the catastrophic outcome that gives Krag leverage; it supplies the forensic data used in reconstruction.
Symbolizes the intersection of private life and dangerous science—domestic shame leading to public catastrophe in Krag's narrative.
Site is under investigation and restricted to authorized forensic teams.
Apgar Science Station is the off-screen locus of the actual explosion; Krag repeatedly references telemetry and the station's reactor to justify his hypothetical recreation, making the planet-side site's destruction the factual hinge that converts the holodeck drama into a criminal allegation.
Implied scorched and forensic — the real location's damaged, smoky reality contrasts with the clinical holodeck simulation.
Locus of the alleged crime and source of the telemetry used to build Krag's alternate reconstruction.
Embodies the irreversible consequences of the alleged act — the place where private conflict purportedly transformed into public catastrophe.
Under Tanugan investigative control; practical access restricted to recovery teams and evidence handlers.
Apgar Science Station is the off‑stage, planet‑side locus of the physical explosion; its reactor failure and ground computer logs supply the forensic pattern Krag uses to make his overlay, anchoring the holodeck reconstruction to a tragic, technical reality.
Implied scorched devastation: ozone tang, warped instruments and the silence of destroyed machinery as recalled through telemetry.
Crime scene and evidentiary origin; the source of telemetry and motive for the entire investigation.
Represents the material consequences of scientific risk and the human cost that the investigation must reconcile.
Physically remote and controlled by Tanugan investigators; forensic teams have recovered and exported data but the site remains offstage and unstable.
Apgar Science Station is the exploded site whose timing relative to shipboard bursts provides the critical comparative pattern; its destruction anchors the analytic link between the bursts and catastrophic outcomes.
Remote and catastrophic in memory—images of scorched instrumentation weight the conversation.
Key external evidence and the antecedent disaster that the shipboard pattern is being mapped against.
Represents both the human cost of the mystery and the political/legal stakes behind the accusation against Riker.
Planet-side site; investigation was conducted by the Enterprise away team under command authorization.
Apgar Science Station is cited as the exploded, planet‑side site whose timing (four times the ship interval) anchors Data's comparative analysis, providing the external incident that may be causally linked to the ship's internal radiation bursts.
Evokes ruin and forensic gravity — a scorched, dangerous crime scene whose timing contributes to the sickbay team's urgency.
Primary external evidence source and narrative catalyst that converts scientific anomaly into potential criminal inquiry.
Embodies the possibility that scientific hubris or concealed technology can produce catastrophic, deadly consequences.
Planetary site investigated by an away team; physically inaccessible to Sickbay personnel in the moment, requiring remote telemetry.
