Corporate Security Reception Lobby
SDC Reception
A narrow corporate reception area, lit by harsh fluorescent tubes that cast deep shadows in the corners. The space tightens under the weight of institutional inertia—polished linoleum floors reflect the urgency of the moment only grudgingly. A long desk dominates the right side, its surface cluttered with outdated terminals and coiled cables trailing toward wall jacks. A single frosted-glass door to the rear stands slightly ajar, allowing snippets of corridor conversation to slip inside. The air carries the faint bite of ozone and the acrid undertone of stale coffee pods lingering in the automated dispenser.
