Atlantis Tunnels Rendezvous Fork

Branching junction in the claustrophobic tunnels beneath Atlantis, where dim passages diverge amid dripping stone walls. This fork serves as a critical rendezvous point for the group (Ben, Sean, Jacko, and Jamie) after they split to navigate the labyrinth. Sean designates it as the regrouping spot, directing Ben to retrace steps and reunite the group there. Paranoia intensifies as Jacko reveals Jamie scouted ahead alone, and the fork becomes a pivotal marker in their fragmented advance against Zaroff. The location is central to the group's strategic coordination and emotional tension as they face the threat of Zaroff.
