Stahlman refuses emergency declaration

The equipment rack in the reactor switch room serves as a battleground prop, its metal frame becoming the pivot for Slocum’s violent charge against Wyatt. Stahlman’s internal monologue describes how Slocum spots Wyatt rounding the rack, the structure a temporary barrier before the inevitable clash. The rack’s industrial design—towering, utilitarian—contrasts with the primal horror of Slocum’s transformation, its presence a reminder of the project’s cold, mechanical priorities. It becomes a silent witness to Wyatt’s death, its scars (if any) a record of the struggle.

Before: Intact, positioned against one wall of the reactor switch room, humming with the machinery’s energy.

After: Potentially dented or scuffed from the struggle, but otherwise unchanged. Its role as a battleground is now part of the room’s grim history.
