Scanner Hand Device

A compact handheld instrument Marn uses to verify scanner readings, its small screen and tactile controls responding to Marn's hesitant swipes. The device emits an erratic beep when Hade demands rechecking, underscoring the eroding reliability of observation tools once central to the Company’s control. Its readings contradict Hade’s growling insistence that the Doctor cannot be present, making it both the source of truth and the focal point of institutional doubt.
