Lupton's UNIT Security Pass

A standard-issue UNIT photo ID pass on a lanyard, issued to technical staff like Lupton. Benton requests to see it as part of routine security protocol, holding it up toward the light while examining the laminated credentials. Lupton confirms possession with a cold glance before Lupton's latent psychic energy erupts, searing through Benton and the pass alike. The flimsy plastic bubbles at the edges where Lupton clutches it, and Benton's grip leaves faint smudge marks on the laminated surface. The identity photo blurs under Benton’s scrutiny, his usual professional detachment giving way to sudden alarm as the energy crackles between them.
