Exterior Passage Outside Castellan's Office

A narrow passage outside the heavy durasteel door of the Castellan's office, visible through the wall monitor. The corridor walls bear faint scuff marks from repeated foot traffic, their brushed alloy surface reflecting the cold blue-white glow of overhead strip lighting. At one end, the Castellan’s reinforced door looms with a biometric panel still active—its amber light blinking rhythmically in standby mode. Emergency seals line the doorframe, their edges slightly discolored from recent overuse. The air hums with the distant thrum of station life: ventilation fans, muted machinery, and the occasional murmur of voices beyond closed panels. A faint metallic tang lingers—oil from the door’s servos—mixing with the sterile tang of recycled atmosphere.
