Chase's Sound Mixer Table
A large, imposing sound mixing desk dominates the greenhouse's central aisle as Chase conducts his twisted performance. Electronic knobs, sliders, and illuminated VU meters bristle across its surface, serving as the instrument of his psychological torture. Wires snake from its underbelly to power massive speakers that fill the humid air with oppressive music. Chase manipulates its controls with obsessive precision, using the technology not for sound but for domination, his manic movements synchronizing with the crescendo of his Floriana Requiem.

Purpose
To control and amplify audio playback, manipulated by Chase to subject others to his composition as a form of psychological manipulation and torture.
Significance
The sound mixer table becomes an extension of Chase's growing monomania, transforming a studio tool into an instrument of coercion. Its presence marks the transition from political interrogation to ritualistic violence, proving his devotion to the alien pod overrides even human life. The interruption of Hargreaves forces Chase to abandon this tool mid-performance, illustrating the fragility of his control.
