Presidential Bunker

Steel bulkheads slam shut on subterranean shadows beneath the White House, air recyclers humming defiance against surface chaos. Monitors blaze threat vectors in ghostly blue while emergency cots squat in vaulted gloom, a sanctuary hoarding oxygen for commanders as sirens wail above. Bartlet thrusts it aside—jaw locked, eyes flashing fire—scorning its armored cowardice that shields elites while civilians huddle exposed, every corridor a stark rebuke to the democracy he champions amid terror's creeping blade.
