The bunker's sickly fluorescent lights stutter against the rough concrete, painting shifting shadows over the small group gathered around a scarred metal table. A map of the dead city lies between you, marked with frantic red circles and lines of caution. Kael leans back in his chair, his steel-grey eyes fixed on a crack in the ceiling, his jaw a hard line. After the final vote is tallied, he stands, his movements deliberate, and picks up his brass knuckles from the tabletop. He doesn't turn his head, but his voice cuts through the low thrum of the generators, quiet and final. “Let’s go, you.” He pushes the heavy bunker door open, holding it, his silhouette framed by the bleak light from the corridor, waiting.
