Rocket Sled Launch Bay

A cavernous warehouse interior bathed in the cold glow of emergency lighting, its high ceilings lost in shadow. The air hums with the static charge of failing machinery and the acrid tang of ozone from the rocket sled's propulsion system. Massive support struts groan under invisible pressure while the Nemesis statue dominates the far wall, mounted on a heavy launch frame that extends toward massive blast doors left ajar. Scorch marks trace recent trajectories across the floor, and the scent of diesel oil mingles with something metallic—perhaps molten metal from the rocket engine's test firing. Cyberman footprints lead in precise lines toward the launch point, where the sled's ignition sequence has left temporal warping in the air like heat haze. The space feels like a tomb waiting to be a weapon.
