Analog silver-gelatin Wet Lab still, over-the-hands close-up of a black feedback mirror resting on physical hexagonal stainless-steel mesh. Gentle gloved hands arrange four mismatched brass model masks around it: 02 divergent observer, 05 echo filter, and 08 shared reward relay. Each mask reflects a different scratch of light; a narrow phosphor-green row of monitor lamps is the sole accent. Copper fittings, gauze, and hard tube-amp light disappear into a deep near-black surround. The domestic prop is a cracked teacup holding duplicate paper clips. One circular BRAINHUGGERS BUREAU · SYMBIOSE-ARCHIV seal is struck once lower right, with thin filing marks and registration crosses, no gore, no faces.
