Internally exultant in his control of events masking a fanatical commitment to the complete eradication of humanity by robot kind

Location Details
Places and their significance in this event
The Control Deck transforms from a strategic command nexus into an execution chamber under Dask’s orders. It becomes the primary target zone for V5’s lethal deployment, where safety is shattered by sudden awareness that sanctuary is illusory. The deck’s compact design and strategic centrality make it both refuge and tomb.
The Crisis Corridor serves as SV7’s transmission zone, acting as a conduit for the robot’s lethal betrayal. It is a utilitarian conduit where operational intelligence becomes weaponised, transforming neutral space into a zone of sudden mortal peril as the sanctuary becomes a death trap.
