Professor Jones' Protest Drum

A standard marching drum with painted wooden shell and taut skin head, carried by Professor Jones at the protest's front. Its drumsticks are wrapped in protest signs taped to the handles, blending musical accompaniment with political messaging. As Jones beats its rhythm to coordinate the protest's movements, echoes bounce off Global Chemicals' metal gates, drawing security focus away from the facility's perimeter.

Jones' distraction enables Doctor's infiltration

The large protest drum serves as both rhythmic anchor and visual centerpiece of the demonstration. Professor Jones uses it to coordinate chants, set tempo for movement, and draw guard attention toward the main gate, creating acoustic and spatial disruption that masks alternative actions at the rear of the facility.
