Window of the Salle des États

A tall, rectangular gallery window in the Salle des États framed in white stone and set with large panes of clear glass. Its size and placement make it a potential exit point for Duggan, who breaks the pane to escape the pursuing forces after Romana suggests using it as an escape route. The window offers no ledge or footholds, forcing Duggan to abandon his usual blunt instruments in favor of a desperate vertical leap into the unknown.
