Starship Officer's Office

Commander Maddox's Office

Commander Maddox's private office aboard the starship functions as a tight locus of authority and clinical intent: a compact, well-appointed cabin lined with data panels, secure comms, and a central desk where orders are drafted and deadlines imposed. It operates as the procedural and operational node for Maddox’s plan to disassemble Data—where transfer orders are signed, the 0900 reporting time is set, and scientific curiosity hardens into bureaucratic mandate. The air in this space carries an austere, forensic tension, a chill of measured certainty that converts ethical debate into enforceable action.
