Status Display Map of the Beacon's Containment Grid
A large schematic map of the Beacon's internal layout affixed to the control room wall, its surface marked with colored indicators and sectional grids. Red lights pulse urgently over the aft transom shutter area as Warner points to the breach point. The map's details—hull compartments, access points, and quarantine rings—are faintly visible beneath the illuminated status markers. Warner's finger traces the seal lines as he relays the unauthorized breach to Stevenson, the map's tactical importance suddenly stark against the sudden crisis.

Significance
The map's activation of the aft breach alarm marks the moment Kellman's treachery begins unraveling the station's security protocols. Its visual representation of the breach's location forces immediate recognition of the infection's infiltration point, making the abstract threat concrete through its glowing indicators.
