Sacred Heart

The Sacred Heart is a vast underground complex, dominated by the towering bulk of Xoanon—a sentient machine that once coiled through the facility like a steel aorta. Massive consoles hum with residual energy, their once-active displays now dark and silent after the Doctor's interference. The air smells of ozone and burnt circuitry, the walls lined with protruding cables and flickering emergency lights. This is the nerve center where the Tesh once monitored Xoanon’s directives, their territory of cold logic and control. Now it stands empty of human presence, as the Tesh people refuse to approach, whispering of curses and the wrath of the machine they once served. The hollow stillness presses in, broken only by distant mechanical groans and the echoes of past commands long since faded into nothingness.
