Hallway Computer Terminal (FBI Briefing Terminal)
A utilitarian hallway terminal mounted near the Oval's backstage corridor: a mid‑sized CRT/flat monitor, institutional keyboard, and tractable network connection. Its casing bears government‑issue wear — scuffs, sticker residue, and a muted gray finish — signaling heavy, practical use rather than polish. Staff hover at the terminal to pull up investigative records and image files; words and images flicker across its screen as officials retrieve the FBI's forensic notes about the murder weapon. Characters treat the machine as a fast, factual oracle: they lean in, squint at search results, and pass terse lines of information from its display into high‑stakes conversation. (Also referenced in some records as the “FBI Briefing Terminal” when used specifically to view FBI forensic materials.)
