Who Was There
Characters present in this moment
Emotionally detached and focused, with a sense of duty driving his actions. There is no hint of hesitation or moral conflict—his emotional state is one of disciplined resolve, fully aligned with Slaar’s objectives.
The Warrior stands at attention in the T-Mat Moonbase Control Room, responding to Slaar’s questions with disciplined brevity. His posture is rigid, reflecting his unwavering obedience to the commander’s authority. When Slaar demands an update on the escaped humans, the Warrior reports the ongoing search without hesitation or embellishment. He does not question the subsequent orders to intensify the search and destroy the humans, nor does he react visibly to the command to guard the remaining captive. His compliance is absolute, reinforcing the Ice Warriors’ hierarchical structure and Slaar’s absolute control.
- • Comply with Slaar’s orders to intensify the search for the escaped humans and ensure their destruction upon capture.
- • Execute the command to guard the remaining human captive (the Doctor) without deviation, maintaining the Ice Warriors’ control over the situation.
- • Slaar’s orders are absolute and must be followed without question, as they serve the greater mission of Martian supremacy.
- • Human resistance is a direct threat to the Ice Warriors’ objectives and must be neutralized swiftly and efficiently.
Coldly determined, with an undercurrent of impatience at the delay in capturing the escaped humans. His emotional state is one of controlled aggression—he is not angry, but his orders reflect a calculated desire to eliminate variables and secure his mission’s success.
Slaar stands in the T-Mat Moonbase Control Room, his armored presence dominating the space as he issues orders with cold authority. He first acknowledges his return to the Warrior on duty, then pivots sharply to demand an update on the escaped humans. Upon learning the search is ongoing, he escalates the directive to 'intensify' and 'destroy,' his voice cutting through the sterile air like a blade. His final command—'Guard him'—is delivered with the same ruthless efficiency, ensuring the Doctor remains a captive asset. Slaar’s posture and tone convey absolute confidence in his command, leaving no doubt about the consequences of failure.
- • Eliminate the escaped humans (Zoe, Jamie, and Kelly) to remove any potential resistance or interference with the Ice Warriors’ plans.
- • Ensure the Doctor remains a captive asset, guarded by a Warrior, to maintain leverage over the Time Lord and prevent further escapes or disruptions.
- • Human resistance is a direct threat to the Ice Warriors’ invasion and must be crushed without mercy.
- • The Doctor, as a high-value captive, is a critical asset for controlling the situation and extracting information or compliance if needed.
