After Dark: Science Stations

Jun 11, 2026

It's been a long road getting from there to here. Oh, wait, wrong Star Trek.

Berkeley System’s After Dark line didn’t just produce original modules. They also put out a lot of licensed module bundles as well. One that I had back in the day was one based on Star Trek: The Next Generation. I love me some Star Trek.

There is a drop down which lets you pick between two science screens and a circuits screen. I'll let the official description below explain what all of those are. Needless to say, I like to leave this on random. The "Duration" slider lets you select how long each screen remains displayed before changing to a new one. Speed just determines how fast the screen scrolls and otherwise changes information on the displayed screen.

I love this module because I love the look of the LCARS system. I'm still waiting for a Linux distro that is just LCARS. For now, I'll have to settle for these LCARS panels adorning my computer screen while I'm away. It’s like living in the past-future.
