Personal Key

A small, unassuming mechanical device used to override security protocols. When inserted into the proper interface, it enables Tryst to bypass the malfunctioning projection device’s selector and later to force open the concealed exit against his will. Constructed of durable metal with a worn edge suggesting frequent use, its simplicity contrasts with its critical function in moments where access must be gained swiftly.
