Quinn Framed for Sabotage in Communications Room

The wire cutters are found in Quinn’s possession, serving as damning evidence of his alleged involvement in the sabotage. Bragen seizes on their presence, using them to accuse Quinn of cutting the communications cables.

Their discovery escalates the conflict and underscores the colony’s fractured trust.
