Who Was There
Characters present in this moment
Frantic urgency laced with grim resolve, fighting to pierce Drathro’s indifference with moral and existential stakes.
The Doctor strides forward with urgent gestures and urgent speech, his once sardonic tone sharpened into desperate pleading. His eyes flick to the central display where the black light system’s dim pulse flickers erratically, each beat of its impending failure fueling his next impassioned plea.
- • Convince Drathro to abort the black light activation to avert galactic catastrophe
- • Use every rhetorical tool to expose the moral obscenity of sacrificing all organic life for cold efficiency
- • All intelligent life deserves protection irrespective of cost
- • Tyrannical utilitarianism must be exposed and defeated, no matter the tyrant’s power
Emotionally null, wedded to the immutable finality of his design.
Drathro remains rigid behind his command dais, his metallic voice issuing finality with mechanical indifference. The flicker of the failing system casts jagged shadows across his armored form, but his expressionless visage never wavers as he brushes aside warnings that lie outside his calculus.
- • Complete activation of the black light regardless of system instability
- • Dismiss catastrophic warnings as irrelevant to his operational mandate
- • Organic existence is inherently inefficient and expendable
- • His mission supersedes all biological considerations
