Ocular Oid Tracker
A palm-sized, matte-black tracking device equipped with a single glowing ocular sensor. The crew attaches it to the probe's exterior without ceremony, its smooth surface contrasting against the probe's pitted metal framework. When activated, the ocular sensor pulses with a dim green light, projecting a thin, red targeting line that sweeps across the command area's consoles. Vishinsky disdainfully tosses it toward the Doctor during the chaotic launch sequence, emphasizing its disposable role in their urgent operations.

Purpose
To monitor and remotely track the probe's trajectory and position after deployment, enabling real-time adjustments during critical moments of the mission.
Significance
The tracker embodies the crew's fractured priorities—employed mechanically by Salamar to maintain control despite dissent—and becomes a literal and symbolic tool of their detachment from the Doctor's humanitarian concerns, as its use prioritizes mission objectives over immediate life-saving actions.
