Alec’s Revenge and Morgan’s Betrayal

Alec Leeson’s rifle is a symbol of the colonists’ defiance and Alec’s personal quest for vengeance.

Though it does not fire, its presence underscores the volatility of the moment and the colonists’ willingness to use force. Its removal from Alec’s hands marks the shift from negotiation to hostage standoff, as Morgan’s gun becomes the dominant threat.
