Object
Kuhndu State Television Station (commandeered)
Nation-spanning broadcast fortress—studio bays humming with hijacked cameras, control rooms swarming under military boots, transmitter towers piercing the sky—rips from civilian grasp as coup forces seize feeds. Oval Office crackles with Bartlet's dispatch reading military confirmations: television falls silent to Nimbala's pleas, morphing into AFRC propaganda spear, watched by Leo, Josh, and Sam as rescue windows slam shut.
