The Leap of Faith and the Thal's Cruelty: A Moment of Trust Shattered

The removable roof panel is mentioned by Sevrin as their potential escape route, reachable from the top of the rocket’s nose cone. It symbolizes the tantalizing promise of freedom, just out of reach. Though not directly interacted with in this event, its mention adds urgency to their escape attempt and underscores the brutality of the Thal soldier’s intervention. The panel’s existence highlights the fragility of their hope and the Thals' ruthless suppression of any chance for escape.

Before: Securely in place, part of the Thal dome’s structure. It is accessible only from the rocket’s nose cone, making it a critical but risky escape path.

After: Unchanged physically, but its role as a potential escape route is reinforced by the soldier’s actions, which ensure it remains inaccessible.
