Doctor’s Arrival and Workers’ Warning

Slocum’s toolbox is carried at his side as he walks toward Bromley, symbolizing his role as a maintenance worker tasked with keeping the facility operational. While the toolbox itself is not directly interacted with during this event, its presence underscores the workers’ practical, hands-on involvement in the drilling operation. The toolbox serves as a visual reminder of the facility’s reliance on manual labor and the potential dangers of the environment—tools are necessary, but the noise and instability suggest they may not be enough to prevent catastrophe.

Before: Carried by Slocum as he pedals his bike toward Bromley, intact and ready for use.
After: Still in Slocum’s possession, though the scene does not show it being used—its presence remains a silent indicator of the workers’ ongoing duties.
