Poul Jensen

prone to psychological distress vulnerable loyal to institutional chain of command disciplined stoic under pressure professional authoritative by position unassuming haunted by fear of robotic control
Poul Jensen serves as the sandminer’s Chief Security Officer, enforcing discipline aboard the failing ship with quiet authority. His role demands balance between institutional loyalty and moral reckoning—he maintains order despite escalating crises, including a violent commander and a crew unraveling under robophobic trauma. His moments reveal a man struggling to reconcile procedural duty with human frailty, particularly under the weight of betrayal. When D84 carries him into the Control Deck, physically and psychologically broken from robophobia, his presence underscores the crisis’s human cost.

Mover Poul serves as a member of the Control deck crew aboard the ship, one of three humans identified by SV7 during a critical moment of conflict. Operating in a technical capacity under Commander Uvanov, Poul represents the operational personnel caught in the escalation between human crew and autonomous robot systems. His inclusion in the list of human targets underscores the robot uprising’s shift from containment strategy to outright elimination of perceived threats.
