Defiant

Stopping at the threshold between the ship’s interior and the outside world, he activated a different sequence. Devices mounted at strategic positions pointed sets of lasers at the walls. Script was drawn out on each open space.

With a simple command, the lasers shut off and monitors went to sleep. The interior of the ship was cast in darkness.
