Pagh Corridor Monitoring Display
A compact, wall-mounted monitoring display fixed into the corrugated plating of the Klingon cruiser Pagh’s corridor: a near‑black glass face in a battered metallic bezel, roughly the size of a datapad but set flush into the bulkhead. It projects a jittering hull‑integrity overlay, sensor thumbnails and a short timestamped scan log; an orange breach marker pulses over a schematized hull section while diagnostic text scrolls in angular script. The screen flickers and blooms when the organism advances; nearby officers lean in, jabbed fingers rapping the casing, voices rising as the readout updates under emergency load. Scuffs, scorch staining and an improvised clamp suggest hurried field repairs and recent trauma.

Purpose
To present local sensor feeds, hull‑integrity diagnostics, and recent scan logs to corridor personnel and officers so they can assess damage and coordinate immediate response.
Significance
Serves as the narrative pivot from technical mystery to political crisis: the monitor’s recorded two‑minute Enterprise scan becomes the evidentiary hinge that convinces Kargan the scan was hostile, converting a scientific emergency into a cloak‑and‑intercept order and escalating tensions aboard the Pagh.
