Helen A's Emergency Console Button

The single primary control embedded in Helen A's desk, a black circular button with a crimson light and a protective metal guard. When pressed, it transmits orders directly to the Happiness Patrol, its activation accompanied by a low chime and the illumination of the crimson light as Helen A’s voice announces the kill order. The Doctor toys with this device, feigning interest to escalate psychological pressure on Helen A, exposing its role in her regime’s machinery of suppression.
