Refinery Viewport
Detailed Involvements
Events with rich location context
The Refinery Viewport acts as both shield and screen: it distorts interior reality while permitting hidden observation. When the green apparition flickers across its surface, it breaches the Federation’s constructed clarity, revealing surveillance beyond physical control and undermining the claim that no one is inside.
