Kando and Balan's Communication Monitor

Kando activates the monitor to hail the Dominator saucer before entry, speaking directly into it to request permission while Balan stands ready nearby. Teel observes as the device relays their message, bridging the gap between Dulcian investigators and the ship's interior. Rago and Toba, inside, likely monitor the exchange, turning the tool against the infiltrators upon arrival. The screen flickers with the response that draws them in, underscoring their vulnerability in the ambush.
