Events with structured involvement data
The Small Eastern College functions as Indy's employer and the everyday institutional context for the scene — its routines and students contrast the intrusion of Army Intelligence and heighten the sense of normal life interrupted by geopolitics.
Through the physical setting (Indy's office), student traffic, and administrative rhythms (TA, library holds).
A civilian academic institution whose normal operations are momentarily subordinated to national security interests when the Army becomes involved.
The college's ordinary rhythms provide contrast to state power, highlighting how national concerns penetrate civilian life.
The Small Eastern College is the institutional home of Indy and the scene's immediate social ecology; it supplies the office, students, and administrative rhythms that are momentarily foregrounded before the larger plot intrudes.

Locally authoritative over campus life and schedules but subordinate to national institutions when their interests intersect.
Demonstrates how everyday academic structures can be disrupted by external geopolitical pressures, forcing the college into reactive roles.
