Pilot's Office Control Screen/Intercom
A dual-function communication device in the Pilot's office that serves as both a visual display (showing a static image of Control) and an audio intercom system. It relays authoritative directives from Control to the Pilot and other personnel, including orders for mind-control adaptation, deep sleep, and thought pattern conditioning. The device is used during critical moments such as Medok's false confession, the Doctor's interrogation, and the enforcement of colony obedience. Witnessed by the Doctor, Medok, Ola, and the Pilot, who receives and obeys the commands directly from Control. The intercom function also facilitates internal voice communication for reports from personnel like Ola and directives from Control across colony locations.
