Leah dismisses Geordi’s engineering choices

Leah Brahms’ PADD is the weapon of her inspection, a slim device she wields like a scalpel to log every deviation from Starfleet specs. As she taps notes about Geordi’s modifications, the PADD becomes a symbol of institutional authority, its flickering screen a record of her clinical dissection of his work. Geordi watches it with growing frustration, as each entry feels like a judgment against his expertise. The PADD doesn’t just document—it amplifies the power imbalance, turning Leah’s critiques into an unassailable digital ledger. When she leaves to take the subspace message, the PADD goes with her, its role in the confrontation complete but its impact lingering.

Before: Active and in use—Leah grips the PADD tightly as she stalks the engine room, its screen illuminated with notes and critiques. It’s fully functional, serving as her primary tool for documenting Geordi’s modifications.

After: Taken off-screen—Leah carries the PADD with her into Geordi’s office to handle the subspace message. Its last recorded entry is likely a note about Geordi’s swap-out schedule, left unresolved.
