Command Console Input Keyboard

A compact, backlit keypad embedded in the command console, its keys glowing faintly under the submarine’s crimson alert lighting. Maddox uses it to synchronize missile guidance, fingers moving quickly over the minimal keys as he activates the lockdown sequence. Bulic and Vorshak watch over his shoulder, the weight of the action pressing down despite Bulic’s attempts to downplay its gravity.
