Salia's Quarters Entry Chime
A small, ship‑installed electronic chime mounted at the entry to Salia's private quarters: palm-sized matte/brushed alloy grille recessed into the bulkhead with a pale indicator LED. It emits a brief, two‑note crystalline tone at a restrained volume that cuts across whispered conversation and instantly redirects attention—serving as an audible signal that converts private intimacy into formal awareness and triggers attendants or security.
