Wenley Moor Conference Room Projection Screen

The projection screen fills one wall of the Wenley Moor conference room. Lawrence projects slides onto it during his briefing to white-coated scientists, using visuals to assert the center's independence from UNIT. The Brigadier watches briefly before a soldier whispers and they exit; Lawrence presses on, framing power losses as errors via the display.

Lawrence asserts scientific autonomy over UNIT

The projection screen at the back of the conference room serves as a visual anchor for Lawrence’s briefing, displaying the slides that reinforce his message of scientific autonomy and internal vigilance. The screen’s placement—behind Lawrence on the stage—ensures that the audience’s attention is directed toward both the speaker and the supporting data, creating a cohesive narrative of institutional control. Its role is functional, providing a medium for Lawrence to communicate his directives, but it also symbolizes the center’s reliance on data and authority to maintain order amid chaos.

Before: Functional and ready for use, positioned at the back of the stage to support Lawrence’s presentation.
After: Remains in use, though the slides may feel increasingly disconnected from the reality of the anomalies as the scene progresses.
