M6 Beacon
A named program or piece of equipment referenced repeatedly in staff briefing dialogue; never shown on camera and lacking physical detail. Characters speak its title as a discrete funding/policy target, point to it as a recently recommended White House budget cut, and react with political alarm and strategic calculation when the Beacon is cited as a potential motive for Coles's rhetoric.

Purpose
To denote a government program or equipment line that receives funding and oversight attention—used in conversation as a budgetary/policy item under review.
Significance
Functions as a narrative motive-generator: the Beacon's threatened or cut funding escalates political stakes, explains external anger toward the Administration, and drives the senior staff's decision to frame response strategy rather than pursue immediate retribution.
