Van Lutyens challenges the Chief’s loyalty

The refinery layout, though not physically present in the Impeller Room, is implied to have been studied by Van Lutyens in his office prior to this confrontation. It serves as a preparatory tool, arming him with the knowledge to challenge the Chief's dismissal of the heartbeat sounds and to demand a private inspection of the feed valve. The layout's absence in the room highlights Van Lutyens' proactive approach, contrasting with the Chief's reactive and deferential stance.

Before: Studied in Van Lutyens' office, providing him with a detailed understanding of the refinery's structure and potential fault points.

After: Not physically involved in the event but remains a critical reference for Van Lutyens' actions and demands.
