SRS Member Identification Cards

Identification cards used for verifying Scientific Reform Society (SRS) membership status. These thin pasteboard or plastic cards feature SRS insignias (either printed black ink or holographic), member name slots (often blank in provisional cases), and show signs of frequent use such as nicked edges, frayed corners, and cracked plastic ID windows. They serve as access tools to infiltrate or verify entry to SRS meetings and restricted facilities, with authenticity verified through physical inspection of holographic elements or insignia quality. Kettlewell’s card is a provisional/unassigned membership card, while SRS officials carry assigned membership cards with verified credentials.

Before: Held by officials and awaiting verification, their authenticity critical to maintaining the SRS’s exclusionary facade.

After: Still in the hands of officials, their authority momentarily unchallenged—but the arrival of a compromised figure like Kettlewell plants the seeds of doubt.
