Nightfall descended.
The gentle evening breeze carried away the sweltering air of the day.
It brought a hint of coolness, but only relatively speaking.
The temperature at night was ten degrees lower than during the day, but it was still over thirty degrees.

Bang bang bang—
From within the Inner City of the base, a series of subtle construction noises were heard.
It was the sound of digging tunnels.
