Subterranean Level

Level Twelve

A dimly lit subterranean corridor serving as both a transit corridor and staging area. The concrete walls are scored with maintenance hatches and emergency conduits, absorbing sound unevenly—some sections ring hollow underfoot while others muffle every footstep. Hydraulic doors at irregular intervals lead to hidden chambers, their red access panels casting sickly pools of light in the murky gloom. One end opens to a wider staging area where stacks of heavy weaponry and power cells have been assembled. Emergency lighting flickers with diagnostic readouts, and the air carries the scent of ozone and re-circulated ventilation. The space feels like a held breath, waiting. Xoanon's presence occasionally makes itself felt as a distortion in the atmosphere.
