Ico-Spectrogram Scanner (Ico-gram)

Bench-mounted geophysics spectral-scanning rig with a compact sensor array and a dedicated console. Its interface is dominated by a long-running diagnostic routine labeled the 'Ico-gram' — a multi-hour, full‑spectrum, high-resolution scan invoked from lab consoles or engaged at the bench that produces layered spectrographic readouts for analyzing anomalous geophysical signatures. Narratively, the unit is the focal instrument Wesley invokes to justify extended diagnostics and around which authority conflicts in the geophysical lab scenes pivot.

Ten-Forward Lesson: Wesley Chooses to Command

The Ico‑spectrogram is the contested technical procedure at the heart of Wesley's dilemma. It functions as the tangible test of his authority: ordering the scan is the concrete act that will convert Riker's abstract lesson into command responsibility and propel the next plot sequence.

Before: An available but unexecuted lab scanning procedure referenced in Wesley's report; not running and under debate between Wesley and Ensign Davies.

After: Ordered by Wesley (decision made), putting it into motion as the imminent technical next step to be executed by engineering/ops teams.

Wesley Asserts Command: Orders the Ico‑Spectrogram

The Ico‑spectrogram is invoked by Wesley's order as the specific analytical tool needed to scrutinize the Selcundi Drema system; it operates as the technical means to escalate the lab's activity from casual monitoring to directed investigation, turning a hypothesis into an actionable procedure.

Before: Idle or not currently running for Selcundi Drema; treated as an available lab function referenced but not engaged.

After: Has been ordered to run on the Selcundi Drema system and is about to be initialized by Davies or queued for execution.
