Miki lead Alice down a narrow corridor reinforced with plating.
What used to be a war room sat at the end of it, thick doors marked with old scars, emergency defences half broken and replaced with newer designs.
Above the door, a simple metal sign told them what the room was used for.
Nightmare Research.
As they entered the room, the tension could immediately be felt as no one was idle. Everyone had a job to do and a limited amount of time to do so.
Tables pushed together to form long workstations clustered with an array of different contraptions, relics and stacks of handwritten notes bound with thread.
Plastered on the walls were layered diagrams, city maps overlayed with small sections that depicted what was underground. Charts revealing the density of enemies, information gathered through scattered notes, items, even the entities that reside within the Nightmare.
Shopkeepers and so on.
