Naval Radio Room Equipment Clearing Table

A standard metal-framed naval work table in the radio room of the Sea Fort’s naval base, its surface cluttered with communications equipment and navigational instruments. Its uncoated steel top bears the scars of prior operations—scratches from tools, scorch marks where heat-generating devices once sat, and faint oil stains from decades of mechanical maintenance. The table's bolted-down legs anchor it firmly to the deck as Hart and Walker clear salvos of radios, cryptographic gear, and signal boosters to create space beneath a ceiling hatch. Jo climbs onto this makeshift platform without hesitation, her boots scuffing the worn green paint as she stretches to force the ventilation cover open, transforming an ordinary naval fixture into a key to survival.
