Citadel Narrative Projection Screen

Oval-shaped projection screen embedded in the Citadel's white control room, surrounded by futuristic devices. This screen demonstrates the Citadel's ability to generate, display, and monitor fictional narratives from various story worlds. Key functions include: 1. Primary function: Projecting text (e.g., first page of Treasure Island, activated by Jamie). 2. Displaying visual scenes (e.g., Little Women with Jo March). 3. Broadcasting audio (e.g., Jo's line: 'Christmas won't be Christmas without presents'). 4. Revealing narrative tracking capabilities (e.g., ticker showing Doctor and Zoe's labyrinth separation). The screen's activation exposes the Citadel's overarching control system for fictional realms, witnessed by characters including Jamie, Rapunzel, the Doctor, and Zoe. Note: While the target entity ('Citadel Narrative Machine (Treasure Island)') emphasizes the Treasure Island display as its defining feature, the source entity's broader description (including Little Women and audio) and canonical name ('Narrative Projection Screen') indicate it is the same screen with additional documented functions. The target entity's description is a subset of the source's capabilities.
