Burton summons staff to office

As the camp falls under threat from Gavrok’s advancing Bannermen and Burton’s earlier warnings confirm the danger, the camp manager issues a stark intercom announcement demanding all staff report to his office without delay. The command disrupts sheltering routines and confronts personnel with a forced choice—obey a figure of authority or respond to the unfolding crisis in their own way. Burton’s urgency suggests a hidden motive, a reckoning, or a final stand, accelerating the collision between loyalty and survival. key_dialogue: [ BURTON: Could all staff, without exception, assemble in my office immediately. Could all employees ]
