Duggan asserts solo control over Bernalium

The ‘driver’ tool, referenced by Ryan in his earlier dialogue (‘Would you get me that driver over there’), serves as a physical extension of the crew’s frantic repairs. Though not directly handled in this specific exchange, its presence in the Power Room underscores the manual, labor-intensive nature of the work. Duggan’s later grip on his own tools (implied by his dialogue) mirrors the crew’s reliance on these objects as both tools and crutches in their exhaustion.

Before: Lying nearby, recently used by Ryan and Flannigan during their repair attempts. Its condition is functional but worn, reflecting the crew’s relentless demands on their equipment.

After: Now in Duggan’s possession or within his immediate reach, symbolizing his taking over the repair effort. Its role shifts from a shared tool to a personal responsibility, mirroring Duggan’s isolation.
