Polls led them inside.
The building looked more like an active military headquarters than anything ceremonial. Lights remained on throughout the ground floor, while soldiers moved between several rooms carrying folders, radios and equipment.
Maps covered parts of the walls. Some showed Silverpeak's roads and valleys, while others were marked with handwritten notes around blocked routes, occupied areas and military positions.
The place was worn from months of use, but almost every wall and table carried something useful.
They went through two corridors before stopping in front of a set of double doors.
Polls knocked three times.
"Captain Polls. Commander Brandon from Grefort is here."
A voice answered from inside.
"Bring him in."
Polls opened the door and stepped aside for Brandon.
Inside, a long table occupied most of the room.
Two MDC officers sat near one end.
