Nucleus-Control Goggles

A sleek silver device worn over the eyes, its featureless frames concealing the wearer’s irises while transmitting the Nucleus’s invasive influence. Lowe seizes it from Safran immediately upon entering the Bi-Al Foundation, positioning it with practiced precision over his own face to mask his infection and assert control over the sterile medical facility. The goggles occlude entirely when activated, reducing eye contact to a calculated mask.
