What to study
The operations layer reporting back: a centred modal over the strategic map confirms the Orbital Laser Cannon strike, states the result in one line (the army suffered 40% damage), and offers only CLOSE, so the report is a beat the player acknowledges rather than a decision. The red blast zone on the map behind it ties the abstract report to a concrete place. Frame at about 0:49 in the Release Trailer (Steam).
