Picard's Ready Room Terminal Screen (Blackwell Transmission)
Desk-mounted terminal screen in Picard's Ready Room glows with Admiral Blackwell's stern image during their subspace exchange. Picard leans in, voice measured as he appeals for delay, but Blackwell shuts him down with Starfleet Intelligence's override. Worf delivers asteroid approach data nearby, the screen's steady display underscoring Picard's isolation amid institutional pressure.
