Strus also brings to the lounge a few small, portable, ornate replicators with unusually slow and showy materialization routines; he will sometimes set one of these before select guests if he is too busy to attend to their requests himself. These replicators are not available for use when Strus is not on duty. | Strus also brings to the lounge a few small, portable, ornate replicators with unusually slow and showy materialization routines; he will sometimes set one of these before select guests if he is too busy to attend to their requests himself.

The space occupied by the Watchpost is designated an 'observation lounge' in most Intrepid-class vessels because of the row of six windows along the rear wall. But the windows themselves are too small and too deeply-set to provide much of a panorama. The eyes of Watchpost patrons can rest instead on any of a number of active display surfaces -- the main viewscreen between the doors, the 'windows' along the side walls, and the 'skylights' overhead. By default, Strus will have these displays set to show the most beautiful stellar phenomena he can locate. | |||
The space directly in front of the main viewscreen is a hardwood laminate over a cushiony underlayer-- the combination provides a surface suitable for dancing if a suitable occasion arises. In such a case, the chairs, stools and tables in that sunken area will be relocated around the rest of the lounge. | |||
