Kane's Solarian Shutter Panel

This heavy alloy shutter panel seals the Solarian control room’s radiation shielding, designed to snap shut at the first alarm of stellar exposure. Its edge grips a reinforced frame that groans under Kane’s weight as he shoves it upward, exposing the chamber to unfiltered sunlight. The sudden brilliance floods the room, casting Kane’s still form in stark silhouette before he crumbles into ash. Glitz later recognizes the panel’s role in the facility’s failsafe system—the same mechanism that once protected Iceworld’s masters from solar incursion.
