A detailed scene in a lavish, wood- paneled boardroom from the 19th century, with rich mahogany walls, grand oil paintings, and gas lamps casting a warm glow. Seated around a large, polished wooden table are executives of a powerful railroad company, dressed in period- accurate Victorian attire: frock coats, top hats, pocket watches, and bow ties. Some have dramatic mutton chops or handlebar mustaches. They're leaning over maps, timetables, and documents, with stern and intense expressions as they discuss their ambitious corporate strategy. In front of them, on the table, are stacks of money, contracts, and a chalkboard with phrases like 'Monopolize Buzz, ' 'Capture Public Imagination, '. Among the men sits a confident, well- dressed woman, distinctively styled for the era. She wears a dark, elegant Victorian dress with a high collar and intricate lace details, along with a brooch and a stylish hat. She stands at the table with a poised but assertive expression, pointing to a chalkboard covered in bold phrases like 'Monopolize Buzz, ' 'Capture Public Imagination, ' and a sketch of a locomotive with lightning bolts around it, symbolizing ‘buzz. ’ Another executive is thoughtfully smoking a cigar, while others look intensely engaged in the discussion. The atmosphere is one of ambition, secrecy, and corporate ruthlessness. "
