Minneapolis Radar Operations Center (S1E22 — 'What Kind Of Day Has It Been')

A windowless operations hub where arrays of consoles and glowing displays stitch together airspace into a single, spoken truth. The room hums with refrigeration and distant radio chatter; technicians and radar officers lean over scopes and digital tracks, eyes snapping to a blip that suddenly rewrites timelines. At night the space feels clinical and urgent, its cold light turning raw telemetry into political consequence as it supplies the crucial tracking that drives briefings, denials, and accountability.
