Who Was There
Characters present in this moment
Feigning calm imbued with deep-rooted suspicion, convinced Jo’s hysteria is a calculated manipulation to avoid scrutiny.
Izlyr stands rigid and unyielding, his posture mirroring institutional authority as he interrupts Jo’s plea with a cold accusation of deception. His face reveals no sympathy, only hardened skepticism, and he signals Ssorg’s dismissal before reinforcing that questioning—not belief—is now the priority.
- • To interrogate Jo and the Doctor before allowing any further action
- • To protect the integrity of the delegation and prevent perceived sabotage
- • Jo’s claims are fabricated or exaggerated
- • Outsiders are untrustworthy and likely plotting against the delegation
Indifferent with a veneer of detached authority, prioritizing mission protocol over unverified alarms.
Ssorg moves purposefully along the corridor with his weapon, momentarily detained by Jo’s warning but ultimately dismissing her claims as he continues on his path. His presence looms large, reinforced by the hum of his sonic gun—a weapon framed as capable of destroying any living creature.
- • To fulfill his security duties and investigate the corridor
- • To use his sonic gun if necessary to neutralize perceived threats
- • Jo’s story is unverifiable and likely false
- • His weapon is sufficient to counter any creature encountered
Indeterminate, possibly conflicted but outwardly compliant with immediate protocol.
Grun emerges silently from behind a tapestry but slips away just before Ssorg arrives, his presence fleeting and uneventful. He serves as a shadowy observer whose actions hint at unseen allegiances rather than direct confrontation.
- • To remain uninvolved in the escalating conflict
- • To avoid drawing attention from the Ice Warriors' delegation
- • Unknown influence guides his actions
- • Witnessing could be dangerous

Location Details
Places and their significance in this event
The Ice Warriors’ corridor functions as a pressure chamber for distrust and urgency, its narrow metal walls amplifying every harsh word and sonic vibration. The sterile artificial lighting exposes Jo’s dishevelment while the Ice Warriors’ disciplined formation emphasizes their collective suspicion. The corridor becomes a stage where desperation and authority clash in real time.
Organizations Involved
Institutional presence and influence
The Ice Warriors’ delegation operates through formal hierarchy and procedural skepticism, using Ssorg as an enforcer and Izlyr as the voice of institutional doubt. Their coordinated presence—steel-clad warriors advancing in formation with active weapons—dominates the corridor, transforming a diplomatic corridor into an arena of coercion. They respond to Jo’s intrusion not with aid, but with suspicion and containment.
