Minnow Fighter Pilot

Detached and professional—there is no malice in his voice, only the clinical certainty of a soldier following orders. He does not see Milo as a person but as a target, and his emotional state is one of focused efficiency, untrouded by doubt or moral conflict.

A mix of frustration at the failed mission and professional resolve to follow orders, though his tone remains authoritative and threatening.

Surface-level impatience and authority, masking a deeper sense of duty to carry out orders without question. His emotional state is driven by the need to enforce Space Corps protocols and achieve mission success, regardless of the personal stakes for those involved.

Cold professionalism—his emotions are suppressed in service of the mission, but there's an underlying frustration at being outmaneuvered by Milo's copper needles. His lack of curiosity or empathy makes him a perfect instrument of Hermack's will, but also a one-dimensional antagonist. The moment the needles jam his systems, his silence is telling—it's not fear, but administrative failure, as if he's been cheated out of a procedural victory.

Focused and unyielding, with no visible hesitation or doubt. Their emotional state is one of cold professionalism, fully committed to carrying out Hermack’s orders without question.

Neutral and detached, with no visible reaction to the escalating conflict.
