Holodeck Control Panel
The Holodeck control panel — a tactical holodeck interface that pulses with a subdued blue glow and accepts precise environmental and trigger parameters (e.g., responses to the utterance 'Ira Graves'). Acts as the primary holodeck controls/console used to program, initiate and monitor simulations aboard the Enterprise. In scenes of narrative compromise it translates compromised commands into active simulation directives.

Purpose
To provide direct operational control over Holodeck environmental parameters and simulation behaviors
Significance
Serves as the physical manifestation of Ira Graves' encroaching control over Data's systems, transforming a routine crew interface into the frontline of an existential crisis. The panel's obedient execution of compromised commands signals the near-complete erosion of Data's autonomy.
