Situation Room Security Screens

Leo stands before the security screen in the Situation Room, its display flashing rapid-fire intelligence briefs. Data scrolls through Dow's 260-point plunge, North Korea's potential DMZ probe tied to the President's Seoul trip, General Garcia's Venezuelan rebellion declaration, Mozambique's plea for grain-distribution peacekeepers, Qumar's quiet reopening of the Shareef plane probe with no ELT signal, and Warsaw transit workers' strike threat. Fitzwallace locks eyes with Leo in shared worry as staff absorb the cascade of crises.
