Nesbin's Camp

A crude encampment hacked into the wilderness, its uneven terrain stitched together with rough wooden palisades and sagging canvas. The wind carries the scent of damp earth and woodsmoke through gaps in the barricades, where flickering braziers cast jagged shadows across the packed-dirt training ground. Leela’s arrows find their mark again and again in a target nailed to a splintered post, her precision drawing Nesbin’s reluctant attention. Around them, refugee Time Lords huddle in tents patched from spare Gallifreyan silks, their makeshift dwellings arranged in a loose perimeter designed more for concealment than comfort. The air hums with tension—cold calculation mingling with the crackle of unresolved ideological fractures.
