Lawrence asserts scientific autonomy over UNIT

Lawrence’s briefing slides are projected onto a screen at the back of the small stage, serving as visual reinforcement for his claims about the facility’s scientific autonomy and the internal nature of the anomalies. The slides are likely filled with charts, data, or administrative notes that support Lawrence’s narrative of 'errors' and 'vigilance,' though their specific content is not detailed. Their presence underscores the institutional effort to frame the anomalies as manageable and internal, rather than external or threatening. The slides are a tool of persuasion, used to maintain control over the narrative and reassure the scientists of Lawrence’s authority.

Before: Prepared and ready for projection, likely containing pre-selected data or charts to support Lawrence’s claims about internal errors and the need for vigilance.
After: Remain projected on the screen, though their relevance may be undermined by the growing sense of crisis and the Brigadier’s abrupt departure.
