Object
Cavern Negotiation Table
A makeshift negotiation surface positioned in the cavern where triage gives way to politics. The text does not specify materials; the table reads as an improvised, waist‑high plane around which captors and prisoners cluster. Characters brace on its edge, push documents or a manifesto onto it, and use it as the physical locus for Finn's ultimatum and the Federation's moral counterpoints.

Purpose
Provide a stable surface in the cavern for face‑to‑face bargaining, to hold papers or a manifesto and to concentrate attention during a negotiated exchange.
Significance
Serves as the scene's symbolic seat of power—transforming a medical tent into a political forum. Finn uses it to force the Federation 'to sit at the table,' converting hostage drama into formal leverage and making the table the pivot where private fear becomes public bargaining.
