Cal has a relatively rare Force ability called psychometry or Sense Echo. Essentially, when touching certain objects, he can witness events connected to it. It's not true for every object, and seems to be somewhat dependent on if there's a particularly strong positive or negative emotion associated with it. For really intense, horrific memories, he can experience it as if he's literally in the body of the person going through the event.
To flesh out his experience on the Barge, please comment below with any memories of your characters (past or present) that he might be able to pick up on and what object might trigger the memory. If there are associated threads or clips from your character's canons that would provide some insight into the memory, that would also be appreciated but is by no means required!
Here's a form you can use if you'd like, or feel free to edit to suit your needs.

Character: Lark Tennant
Canon: Sharp Teeth
Object and Memory Triggered: His leather jacket, which his spouse gave him when Lark decided he needed to become a warden. So naturally, when this jacket is touched, Cal will see Lark's husband who looks to be about 70 and is clearly very frail and near death. The emotions here are inhumanly intense, like all of Lark's are: love and terror and anger are the most vivid.
His favorite tennis ball will come with A Lot. Sometimes it will just share a dog's-eye-view of a game of fetch, albeit a very athletic, trick performing dog, and the emotions will be of sheer delight and peace, like the wildest endorphin rush any human ever had. And sometimes that will be clouded by worry when the most recent moment attached to it was him 'tricking' sad people into playing with him. He does this a lot, so the faces will vary week to week.

Character: Mal Cobb

Object and Memory Triggered: Level 7, Room 5 - that thing she did, you know the one.
Character: Harry Goodsir
Canon: A copy of the novel The Vicar of Wakefield, now somewhere in the library.
Object and Memory Triggered: Two ships trapped in sea ice. Cold, starvation, scurvy. But also—confusingly—Tris, a black sand beach, sea air, warmth. Link.
(More later as I think of them.)

Character: Elim Rawne
Canon: Gaunt's Ghosts
Object and Memory Triggered: Camo cloak, a cloak that enables the wearer to basically disappear. It will trigger memories of both sneaking through corridors and tunnels and fighting on chaotic battlefields. The primary emotions will be anger, fear, and determination.

Character: Steve Rogers |
Canon: Marvel Cinematic Universe
Object and Memory Triggered:
1) Compass, which triggers largely the memory of taking the Valkyrie down, but also of visits to Peggy's bedside and flashes of her funeral. The Very Strong Feelings that come with it all are guilt, love, and longing, specifically of the homesickness variety.
2) Shield (you know the one~), which probably triggers something like the Howling Commando montage from First Avenger, but also the memory of simply dropping and leaving it without looking back at the end of Civil War. These trigger feelings of things like duty and obligation, and maybe some little bit of relief mingled with exhaustion (those two associated with the latter memory).
3) Dog tags, which Steve always wears under his shirt. Upon closer inspection, one of the two tags is Steve's, while the other is Bucky's. These bring up jumbled memories that it's probably hard to sort through because they're literally flashes of Bucky throughout Steve's entire life, up to and including the Barge. They are also accompanied by literally a giant tidal wave of FEELS that include love, guilt, desperation, and despair. (Pretty similar to the emotions from the compass, just Bucky-centered, rather than Peggy-centered.)

Character: Fives
Canon: TCW
Object and Memory Triggered:
Various points on the rail or deck where he does nightly remembrances can probably strongly trigger anything from low key wistfulness and sorrow to bitterness and rage over the loss of his brothers. Memories of specific deaths or perceived deaths--Echo's scorched helmet rolling to a stop at his feet, watching Hardcase roll a torpedo through blast doors and then the Seppie ship getting blown to hell behind them as he and Jesse raced out in their stolen Umbaran fighters (that might also call up associated memories of Krell threatening him and/or Rex with his light saber), clone bodies scattered on battlefields, tiny little clone bodies lying dead in training rooms b/c they weren't fast/good/strong enough for the exercise, Tup dying on a Kaminoan operating table after having his chip taken out, etc....
The art room tables could trigger memories of describing his tattoos and what they meant to Jedao with an associated feeling of overwhelming loss and fear and confusion.
I'm not sure how the Enclosure would work for this, b/c the setting always changes, but if it could cling in the substrate of the actual room, Cal could possibly get a really strong sense of wonder and awe and contentment at meeting lambs for the first time, or of absolute joy and also awe getting married to Jedao there, possibly with flashes of the guests, dancing, the ceremony, etc.
