Kaled Slave Laborer (Thal Dome)

Desperate yet defiant, his fear tempered by a steely resolve to ensure the Thals’ plan is not carried out without a fight. His surface urgency masks a deeper grief for his people and a quiet rage at their oppressors.

Desperate defiance—his initial bitterness ('The muto is right') hardens into a grim determination to survive, even if it means allying with Mutos. The toxic monitor’s climb toward 'Danger' mirrors his rising panic, but his focus on escape plans reveals a flicker of hope: he’d rather die fighting than slowly poisoning.

Desperate and urgent, with a growing sense of camaraderie with the Mutos and Sarah as they share the same fate. His fear for his people is palpable, but so is his resolve to do whatever it takes to stop the Thals' weapon.

Fearful yet defiant, with a growing sense of purpose. He channels his terror into action, refusing to let the Thals dictate his fate. His emotional state is a mix of resignation and rebellion—he knows the odds are against them, but he is willing to take the risk.

Skeptical at first, then increasingly determined as the weight of their situation sinks in. His agreement with Sarah’s plan is a turning point, marking his shift from passive prisoner to active rebel.

Opportunistic determination, fueled by the urgency of escape and the desire to defy the Thals’ oppression.

Not directly observable, but his earlier defiance and urgency would likely be mirrored in this moment—fear and determination.
