Two people stand behind a large wooden table covered in A3 size sheets of paper which appear to have coloured maps on them. They are both looking at one sheet of paper which one of them is holding by the edge in their left hand and pointing at with their right hand. Behind them from floor to ceiling are wide, shallow drawers which are presumably where the maps are stored.
