LQ12

Bergman's quarters are different from the standard design, with a large work bench and a computer bank panel. The designation on the communications post is "LQ12". The room is seen in Matter Of Life And Death, Black Sun, Ring Around The Moon, Alpha Child, and Dragon's Domain (the last episode being a clip from earlier in the series).

The room is unusually cluttered. Wall shelves are filled with junk. There are two vivariums against the far wall, Victor's mysterious glass spheres, and an unpainted Airfix Saturn V model. Perhaps one of his hobbies is model making: in Black Sun he has a fairly accurate model of Moonbase Alpha. There are also astronomical posters and photos on the walls and noticeboards.

 Black Sun
The work bench takes up much of the central area of the room. Note the communications post beyond with the LQ12 designation.
Ring Around The Moon
Among the items on the Bergman's lab bench are an unpainted Airfix Saturn V model, a microscope, an astrolabe, and a Tizio adjustable lamp (which later appeared on Koenig's Command Center desk in early Year 2 episodes).		 Alpha Child
This is also Victor's sleeping quarters. A view of the contoured bed, almost hidden in the clutter.		 Alpha Child
The sleeping area is not delimited by a shelf unit as in the standard living quarters.
Black Sun
There are astronomical pictures on the walls and drawing boards for equations.		 Black Sun
Bergman has his own personal computer bank. The wall screen alongside is the same design as in the Command Office.		 Black Sun
Note the cluttered shelves.
Alpha Child
On the Elda 1005 chair is a violin.		 Alpha Child
A closer view of the violin.		 Alpha Child
This view shows one of the vivariums. Are there animals inside? The print over them is probably Ludek Pesek's 1972 painting of Mars as seen from Deimos.
Alpha Child
Towards the front door. Note another vivarium to the right. On the noticeboard to the left are pictures of Saturn and other planets. On the desk are models of molecules.		 Ring Around The Moon
On the left is Victor's telescope (also seen in Another Time, Another Place). There are books piled on the floor, and another astrolabe.		 Matter Of Life And Death
The print on the wall (showing the phases of the Moon) appears in both Matter Of Life And Death and Ring Around The Moon, but not the other episodes.
Matter Of Life And Death
Notice the diploma over Koenig's shoulder.		 Alpha Child
One of Bergman's glass spheres.		 Matter Of Life And Death
In Matter Of Life And Death, we briefly see some plans on the wall: they are titled "Photon Drive". It is probably also present in Black Sun (no detail can be seen).
