Rocket Launch Controls

A bank of analog switches, dials, and a prominent countdown timer dominate the control center's interface. Fenner's hands hover over the activation mechanism—a large red switch flanked by a two-minute digit counter that begins ticking down as he commits to Thawn's orders. The panel's metallic surface reflects the dim emergency lighting, its instruments showing fuel pressure and trajectory settings. A single red warning light pulses in sync with the countdown, casting shifting shadows across Fenner's conflicted face as the room's tension tightens.
