Section 7 Secure Operations Chamber

The chamber is a windowless enclave of utilitarian steel and flickering emergency lighting, its harsh fluorescents painting the walls in alternating stripes of sterile white and amber glow. A broad tactical table occupies the center, its surface etched with worn gridlines and scattered with half-erased battle schematics and haulage coordinates deep beneath Skaro’s crust. The air hums with the pulsing wail of proximity alarms, their shrill insistence underscoring the urgency of unfolding plans. Clusters of dim consoles along the far wall cast blue-white reflections onto the faces of those gathered, sharpening their expressions into anxious shadows as they lean in to review routes and risks. Cold vents near the ceiling exhale a faint metallic tang, the scent of recirculated air thickened by recent footsteps and the residue of hasty strategy.
