Command Ship Corridor Alcove

The alcove is a cramped wooden recess concealed in the dead-end of a stark metallic corridor aboard the command ship. Fluorescents cast sharp shadows across the plasteel walls, their hum underscoring the urgency of escape. The door blends into the paneling, disguised by the same indifferent metalwork until spotted by the Doctor's quick eye. Inside, the space is barely large enough for three bodies, with the air thick with stale metallic tang and the damp scent of recycled ventilation. The floor tilts slightly from the ship's motion, reminding them that gravity is only a controlled simulation in this vessel of desperation. Beyond the concealment, the corridor continues into darkness, where Krarg hunting parties prowl with relentless precision.
