Location
Excavation Operations Camp
Main Camp Hidden by a Rise
Dust-shrouded tents and equipment cluster behind a rocky terrain rise at the Tanis Digs, shielding the Nazi operational hub from the airstrip's roaring chaos. Gobler spurs his jeep toward it twice, vanishing over the ridge as propellers spin and fuel spills below. Generators hum faintly in the distance, coordinating excavation crews while the concealed site pulses with unseen command and logistical urgency amid the desert heat.
