“Seismic vibrations detected. Multiple heavy-class signatures approaching from sublevel garage. Estimated time to breach: 12 minutes.”

I’m uploading this to the emergency beacon. If you’re listening — don’t come to TENOKE. But if you do, bring ammo. Bring fire. And pray the tower still stands.

The walls hum with a low, dying frequency. Three fusion cores left. Maybe four, if we cannibalize the backup relays in Sector 7. The last supply runner didn’t come back. No body. No static on the comms. Just silence — the kind that follows a horde.

TENOKE isn’t just a tower. It’s a promise: No one gets past us.
