Conference Room Display System

President's Office

The wall screen dominates the room’s northern curvature, its obsidian surface reflecting the dim glow of the President’s desk lamp like a silent sentinel. The high-resolution display stretches nearly from floor to ceiling, framed by brushed durasteel bezel that gleams under indirect light. When Brook’s speech begins, the screen leaps to life without warning, its edges flaring with a thin cyan halo that pulses in time with the audio. The President’s face tightens as Brook’s voice booms through the room, the words ‘unprovoked attacks’ and ‘immediate retaliation’ cutting through the space with the weight of political gravity. The screen’s speakers emit a barely perceptible current of interference, a byproduct of the system’s aging compression layers straining under the demands of high-definition transmission.
