Object
Space Defence Centre Reception Desk
The angled wedge of the reception desk forms a wedge of grey metal and composite resin, its upper surface cluttered with the usual communications terminal and visitor handset while its hollow underside provides the only concealment in the cavernous foyer. Its clean lines and institutional styling contrast with the desperate figures pressed against it—Doctor and Sarah crouch in tense silence, their breath shallow as footfalls approach, while Benton’s voice crackles over the comms warning of Kraal forces closing the perimeter.
