City of Bastion
There is one city in the country of Water that has so far proven immune to the infestation. This city is unique on the island nation due to it's high concentration of solid basalt directly beneath the city, creating enough bedrock to effectively prevent the tunneling worms from getting to it. As a result, it has been become the headquarters for the task force aiming to destroy the worms.
It is a multi-tiered city, built into the side of Water country's largest volcano, with multiple gates and walls orignially designed to hold off siege. It has been re-purposed for fighting the graboid infestation, with the lowest tier covered with an extra layer of stone and a complex network of raised platforms on which the residents can walk without disturbing the ground.
The very top is the stronghold where the ninja called in to assist in the effort will be briefed. It has the highest, thickest walls of any city in the nation, and has been billed as being more secure than even the Hidden Village of Mist. Inside, the feudal lord of the Water country sometimes holes up when security is necessary, but for now a lower steward has been put in charge of the hold.
Between each level is a series of two gates, both of which are heavily fortified. The secondary gate is fifty meters staggered from the initial gate, down a corridor that is too small for any battering ram big enough to damage it. Rising up the levels is a bit of a hassle as a result of this, but they will be left unlocked for the shinobi to have easy access.
Hopefully this stone monolith will be enough to hold the worms off long enough for the shinobi to dispatch them. Hopefully it's not already too late.
