Object
Pile of Boxes in SRS Meeting Room
A haphazard pile of corrugated cardboard boxes serves as both barrier and concealment in the SRS meeting room. The boxes are mismatched in size and shape, their brown surfaces dusty and crinkled from storage, stacking unevenly to create a makeshift obstruction. Their edges press against the room’s utilitarian furniture, forcing characters to navigate around them. The robot shoves the boxes aside with mechanical precision to expose Sarah to the stunned crowd.
