AVATAR   James Clyne did a number of great overall studies of the OpsCenter, but Rick asked me to detail out a more finished version of many tech components of the room. I began by focusing on the central platform with its technologized soffit, holo table, and side workstations, which I posited as rotating spherical display consoles. Flows of conduit from soffit to ceiling were designed, as explicitly requested by Rick, to visually suggest a tree, making the Ops platform a technological cousin of Hometree but networked for a different and darker purpose.
