T-MAT Earth Control Video Monitor

Physical video screen in T-Mat Earth Control used for real-time video/audio transmission between Earth-side control rooms, the Weather Control Bureau, and Ice Warrior command. Unlike the Emergency Communication Link, it is not Moonbase-specific and is used for operational updates (e.g., Doctor’s reports) and character-driven dialogue (e.g., Slaar’s arguments with the Marshall). Its link is cut by Slaar in Part 6 as a narrative device, not tied to the blackout crisis.
