Object
Mrs. Troi's Quarters Computer Screen
A slim, wall‑integrated rectangular display recessed into Mrs. Troi’s quarters: narrow metal bezel, softly diffused glass, and a warm candlelit glow that the screen overrides when activated. Data flicks controls and the panel blooms with crisp, informational graphics—star charts and simple visual aids—that wash faces in pale light. The screen functions as a conversational prop: characters glance toward it, Deanna’s look sharpens, and Lwaxana’s theatrical reactions play against the projected imagery.

Purpose
To present audiovisual information and visual aids within Mrs. Troi’s private quarters—displaying charts, images, or diagrams to support explanation or focus attention during discussion.
Significance
Serves as a pragmatic social tool that Data deploys to deflect and structure an awkward diplomatic dinner; the display anchors Picard’s attempted retreat, shapes emotional focus among guests, and heightens the scene’s tension between private intimacy and public performance.
