Object
Presentation Slide — Highway Overpasses (Wolves‑Only Roadway Proposal)
A slick, oversized projected slide that dominates the Roosevelt Room: a glossy pictorial of long, linked elevated highway overpasses with concrete decks, steel‑reinforced piers, approach ramps and guardrails. Rendered at presentation scale, the image fills the screen; presenters jab at specific spans with laser pointers while attendees lean forward, then recoil as the discussion pivots from design to moral and fiscal fallout.

Purpose
Serve as a visual aid in a theatrical advocacy pitch, illustrating the design, scale, and logistics of an 1,800‑mile wolves‑only roadway to persuade policymakers and the public.
Significance
Operates as the conservationists' focal prop that crystallizes idealism into a tangible cost estimate; the slide catalyzes C.J.'s brutal political reframing—switching the room from romantic advocacy to budgetary and voter‑realism after Pluie's death—and thus advances plot and character stakes.
