Risan Game Headset Arm Extension

Picard deploys this component from the Risan game headset in the ready room after Wesley leaves. The arm extension swings forward before his eyes, positioning micro-thin lasers for precise neural interface activation. He engages it deliberately, eyes locked on the display, as the game's pull overrides his emotional resolve from their father-son-like exchange moments earlier.

Significance
