Tallera’s Scanning/Transporter Console (Mercenary Bridge)
Tallera mans this console at her station on the mercenary ship's bridge, which serves dual functions: scanning the outpost to lock onto Romulan artifacts' precise locations and transporting those artifacts to the ship. Picard, Riker, Baran, and Narik cluster nearby, watching screens flicker with targeting data as the ship prepares retrieval amid escalating tensions over shield disruption. The console's primary purpose is to retrieve Romulan artifacts from the protected outpost, but its scanning function is critical for targeting. During a failed transport attempt, the outpost shields snap back online mid-transport, shattering the lock and exposing mission fractures.
