Who Was There
Characters present in this moment
Determined pragmatism masking controlled panic at the Cyber threat's proximity
Scott stands exposed in the bulkhead opening, his military posture rigid with urgency. He reacts instantly to the Cyberman's movement, firing his sidearm with disciplined precision before bursting through the gap to confront the second intruder. His voice remains steady despite the chaos, reinforcing command presence.
- • Eliminate immediate Cyberman threats to secure the tactical position
- • Maintain command presence to coordinate further defensive actions with his team
- • Human tactical superiority must be asserted against Cybermen to prevent mission failure
- • Lethal force is justified when facing an existential enemy like the Cybermen
Programmed obedience without fear or hesitation, responding strictly to environmental stimuli
The subordinate Cyberman investigates the breach on the freighter bridge with mechanical precision, its auditory sensors tuned to the unexpected disturbance. It becomes Scott's first target when its movement toward the TARDIS commotion is spotted, falling unceremoniously before it can report or counter. A second Cyberman follows, entering through the bulkhead hole and meeting the same fate.
- • Investigate the cause of the TARDIS breach to assess potential threats
- • Become the first line of Cyber-Control response to contain unauthorized access
- • All directives from Cyber leadership must be executed without deviation
- • Subordinate Cybermen exist solely to enforce the will of their controllers
