Blockhouse

Fortified concrete structure stands adjacent to the underground laboratory's entrance, its thick walls and narrow observation slits providing cover after the fierce gun battle. The Brigadier strides inside with a UNIT soldier, boots echoing on the grit-strewn floor amid fading echoes of gunfire and the acrid bite of cordite. Dim lights cast long shadows over tactical maps and radio gear, where they pause to regroup, scan for threats, and plot the push against Carrington's remnants. Tension grips the cramped space, victory fresh but peril close.
