Primary Zone Influence

Story so far

One of the pages Carl finds while clicking through the Containment Interface shows an animated, top-down view of the solar system with a blinking light over Earth, headed Primary Zone Influence. Carl shrugs it off — they already knew that — and keeps searching for something actionable, eventually reaching The Fuse page.

Its significance lands only at the very end. When Carl presses Disconnect Containment, the entire new interface blanks out, leaving nothing but this map, and the little red dot over Earth immediately starts to grow.

Appearance

An animated top-down solar system diagram with a blinking marker over Earth, later a spreading red dot, under a plain headline.

Role

The one readout that survives the disconnect, and the first visible sign of what Carl has set loose.
