Containment Orb Finger-Handles
A pair of small, finger‑shaped grips affixed to flexible transfer tubing used to manipulate a delicate antimatter containment orb. Molded from heat‑insulating polymer, textured for non‑slip purchase and roughly hand‑sized, the handles give technicians precise, gentle control. Wesley clasps them with nervous care while programming the beam‑off, Burke steadies the tubing beside him.

Purpose
To provide a safe, ergonomic grip for technicians to hold and maneuver a fragile antimatter containment orb via transfer tubing, offering insulation, control, and leverage during manual handling and beam‑off operations.
Significance
Functions as the physical enabler of Wesley's covert disposal gambit—its presence makes the improvised transfer and subsequent risk possible. The handles anchor a moment of rule‑bending engineering and heighten the moral and technical stakes surrounding the orb's removal.
