Kettlewell House Front Door Breach

The front door of Kettlewell's house bears a jagged breach near the lock, torn open by the rogue robot's attempt to escape after Sarah flags it for conversation. Benton's soldiers have added fresh pockmarks from automatic fire, dozens of bullets cratering the wood around the rupture. The door hangs slightly askew on its hinges, splinters radiating from the central hole where the robot's armored frame forced its way through. Spent brass empties litter the floor near the threshold, evidence of frantic but futile attempts to stop the machine.
