Changes: Control interface room

Revision as of 22:33, 23 September 2014

The control interface room is a key facility located near the gate room on Destiny. It is used by the crew in lieu of an actual bridge as the primary command center for the ship.

Overview

The control interface room previously served as the de facto bridge for the Destiny expedition, as they did not know where the actual bridge was located or how to access it. The control interface room is an open, circular room dominated by the control interface hub, or "APLCR" (Apple Core), which is linked to the ship's primary systems. Several corridors open into the control interface room. Three consoles are available for use by its occupants. Two are located against the walls, placed so the user has their back to the wall when operating them. The third is built directly onto the Apple Core itself, and serves as the central console.

Access to the primary systems is limited to this room and the bridge unless deliberately transferred to another location. Without the master code, the control interface room appears only capable of making limited alterations to the ships systems; basic power management, life support, sensors, shields, and weapons can be controlled without the use of the master code. The various consoles can provide readouts on the ship's systems, and a holographic display can be used for a more detailed analysis of whatever data is being accessed. With the master code, this room is able to control full ship function as shown when Eli Wallace and Nicholas Rush were able to pilot the ship through a star from here after the bridge was locked down. (SGU: "Air, Part 2", "Air, Part 3", "Darkness", "Light", "Earth", "Blockade")

History

Before the discovery of the bridge, Dr. Nicholas Rush could usually be found in this room, monitoring systems, accessing the Destiny database, or solving one problem or another. At least one scientist was manning the room at all times. Virtually any activity of note was monitored or performed from the control interface room, aside from control of the Stargate, which has its own dedicated pair of consoles in the gate room. After the discovery of the bridge, the room was rarley used, but was used to pilot the ship during the Drone Blockade of Destiny (presumably unlocking the master code allowed this to happen) as the bridge was locked down due to lack of power.

+The '''control interface room''' is a key facility located near the [[Destiny Gate room|gate room]] on ''[[Destiny]]''. It is used by the crew in lieu of an actual bridge as the primary command center for the ship.
-The '''Control Interface Room''' is a room on the ''[[Destiny]]'' where personnel can access ship's systems via the "[[Control interface hub|Apple Core]]"; however, the new [[Destiny expedition|crew]] only has limited access, as systems like navigation are protected by a master pass-code for security purposes. Although used as a bridge in many respects by the [[Destiny Expedition]], the actual bridge/control center of the ''Destiny'' is likely to be located elsewhere on the ship, in one of the many inaccessible or unexplored areas. [[Dr.]] [[Nicholas Rush]] can usually be found in this room monitoring systems, gaining access to [[Destiny database]] or solving one problem or another. There are three consoles in this room and they are tied into the [[Control interface hub|Control Interface Hub]]. From this room, one can monitor all of the ship systems, such as the current power reserves and consumption rate. Rush was able to find and display ''Destiny's'' flightpath on a mid-air [[HUD]]. {{cite|SGU|Air, Part 2|Air, Part 3|Darkness|Light|Earth}}
