Hart Office Security Alert Signal
A standardized electronic alert notification system that illuminates Hart's office wall display with a pulsing red glow accompanied by sharp beeping, synchronized with base-wide security systems. The alert cuts through tense conversations (e.g., golf tournament discussions) and forces immediate visual recognition between Hart and Jo. Its activation exposes compromised security states and triggers coordinated responses while remaining visible through office windows despite attempts to maintain superficial normalcy. White emergency lights often accompany its activation.
