K'Ehleyr's Guest-Quarters Door Chime

A palm-sized recessed electronic chime set into the guest-quarters bulkhead: matte brushed-alloy face, narrow grille, and a faint indicator LED. It emits a short, crystalline two-note tone that slices through private noise. The sound snaps K'Ehleyr's attention and cues Troi's entrance, interrupting the outburst and altering the room's emotional tempo.

Significance

Functions as the external check on private rage—its arrival breaks K'Ehleyr's isolated fury and allows Troi to intercede; the chime catalyzes containment of emotional escalation and sets up subsequent interpersonal conflict.
