There are locks that work without electricity, wherein a fixed number is entered and unlocked, working much like a lock and key in order to open. It's made of metal and does not rely on any outstanding technology. That's pretty much what I was going for, not the lightup button terminal with beeping noises, though I suppose I could have inserted that into the story. I've just used them so long at my work that I never really thought to describe the lock.

And as for the bridge, it is more of a place for the helm, and navigational maps and coordinates with those geometrical tools that angle out their routes. I can see where you're coming from, but in this story it's more of just a place for the commanding officer to oversee the running of the ship's main steering.
