Who Was There
Characters present in this moment
Driven by urgency but masking deeper frustration at perceived incompetence, his tone oscillates between righteous accusation and performative indignation
Brazen aggressively accuses Range of hoarding critical information about the Tractators, framing it as the reason Captain Revere perished. He insists on pooling data to understand Frontios’s unseen enemy but dismisses ethical concerns about public unrest. His physical presence exudes authority and escalating frustration as he pivots from debate to demanding Range accompany him to a private demonstration.

His demeanor oscillates between defensive skepticism and reluctant admission of systemic flaws, culminating in an almost complicit agreement to accompany Brazen and view evidence firsthand.
