Lupton asserts psychic dominance with crystal

Lupton has already located the blue crystal amid the UNIT laboratory’s chaos, having tracked it through the heightened psychic link established with his fused spider mind. He seizes the artifact, drawing its mind-amplifying energy directly into himself. With a deliberate, terrifying command he forces a subordinate to focus while projecting his own amplified will through the crystal’s vibrations. This moment proves Lupton’s willingness to use the crystal’s power not only to reclaim his stolen prize but to bend others to his will, signaling his transition from a man corrupted by power to a being fully transformed by it. His brutal display ensures no ally or enemy will doubt his resolve or the menace he now wields. key_dialogue: [ LUPTON: It's there. The blue crystal. It must be the one. ]
