Research Facility Grounds

Mansion Grounds

The grounds spread from the mansion’s rear facade, a blend of overgrown wilderness and manicured decay. Clay pathways lead from the greenhouse’s side exit toward a dew pond ringed by dense shrubbery, its murky water reflecting the flickering emergency lights of the research facility. Gunfire and laser bursts carve jagged light through the humid evening air as UNIT squads retreat in uneven formation, their boots crushing trampled turf already slick with rain-soaked mud. The Krynoid’s creeping vines crisscross the lawn like grasping fingers, their tendrils hissing against the gravel as Major Beresford’s remaining forces attempt one last coordinated barrage. Shadows stretch long and uneven under sodium lamps, the smell of ozone and damp earth thick in the lungs of the fleeing scientists, their only cover the skeletal remains of pruned hedges and overturned benches.
