Trojan Mining Shaft

A cramped, unstable tunnel carved deep into the rock, its walls slick with moisture and dust. The air tastes of powdered stone and spent explosives, thick with the acrid tang of ruptured air conduits. Flickering emergency lanterns cast jagged shadows where wooden supports groan under the weight of collapsing strata. At the center, a cluster of battered mining carts sits near a collapsed side passage, their rusted frames half-buried in rubble. The ceiling drips with slow, rhythmic leaks that echo like distant gunfire. This secondary locale within the Trojan tunnel system becomes a choke point during the rockslide, the air filled with the cacophony of straining metal and the Doctor’s urgent warnings over Rask’s refusal to heed his pleas.
