UNIT Car Park

The UNIT Car Park is a subterranean warren of concrete and metal beneath UNIT headquarters, its fluorescent glare and exposed conduits a deliberate contrast to the urgency of operations above. Here, tactical vehicles lurch into readiness—Land Rovers with dented fenders, Benton’s Bessie idling with reckless patience, and the Whomobile’s turbine coughing to life amid gunpowder grit and the ozone tang of psychic discharge. Emergency exits groan under hasty palms, while radios crackle and generators thrum through rusted railings, compressing and stretching shadows as figures pivot between cover. In calmer hours, it serves as a staging area for deployed forces, but its defining purpose remains the same: the last brief moment of control before battle erupts into the daylight.
