1: Njeri stands up.
Njeri: Jackson! Jackson, my GOD, what did you just do?!
Jackson: We designed a gas to attack the biology of the doppelgangers and the reptilian intruders, based on-
Njeri: You’re mad! There might be innocent people in there!
2: Jackson stands up, baring teeth.
Jackson: No! I identified every intruder in the base and assigned them all to the control center. No “innocent” soul was among them.
3: Okpara watches the screens in horror, hands over her mouth.
Okpara: My… my people…
4: Julia grabs onto Jackson.
Julia: Melissa! What about Mel? Do something!
5: Jackson holds his head as, according to the reflection in his glasses, he stares at the drone camera footage of the Away Team.
Jackson: I… I don’t…
6: Julia runs, heading for the exit of the room. This is seen through Jackson’s perspective, his view complete with various AR-displays of info, including the blue message window in the corner.
Julia: I’m going through that portal!
Jackson: What?! Julia, no!
8: A closer view of the blue message window, which now reads:
???: All the cats are in the bag…

Jackson did you think this plan over for like three seconds
Julia more like FREAKia 🔥😎🔥🔥
actually i genuinely was expecting the twist to be jackson as a doppelganger that was about to kill furries and kae-kariin
I’m still not convinced the kae-kariin are inherently evil like the black mass doppelgangers are.
I mean, Jackson DID think it through. His plan was “eliminate every single hostile and possible hostile”.
It’s just not a plan that leaves any room for nuance. Or mounting rescue efforts.
