Broken Tower Prologue
A lightbulb flickered weakly over the heads of the two people gathered in a sub-basement. Dust covered the space nearly completely, only disturbed by the passing of this room’s rare visitors. Not even insects or cobwebs found their way into this room. There was seemingly nothing that would draw anybody to this room, not even maintenance or custodial staff. There was no equipment in the room, no machines, no tools. Only a barren concrete shell, broken only by a long staircase ascending to a secret door in the basement. A door that was only supposed to open to someone with a key. Almost nobody knew the room was there. In theory, only the two currently in it were supposed to know about it all, but that was an assumption they could no longer afford to make. For the room was not as empty as it should be.
