Who Was There
Characters present in this moment
A frenetic mix of defiance and panic beneath a facade of command, ossifying into resolve as the consequences of inaction dawn on him
The Marshal stands rigid at the module’s control console, his hand clenched as the command leaves his lips. His face is illuminated by the cold glow of holographic displays and the pulsating targeting reticles of Atrion’s warheads. Once a strategist of iron resolve, his posture now cracks with brittle authority.
- • Ensure the destruction of Zeos to deny the Shadow its prize
- • Prevent the Marshal's forces from surrendering under false pretenses
- • The war is the Marshal’s last chance to reclaim power
- • Any form of retreat would constitute personal and political failure
