Marshal takes Jo hostage as Hyperion docks

With the particle reversal device stabilizing Solos’s atmosphere, Marshal Jaeger abruptly pivots from scientific containment to racial purity, ordering the Doctor to recalibrate the machine for human-only breathable air. The Marshal’s desperation curdles into violence when he seizes Jo as leverage, pressing his weapon to her head to enforce compliance. The sudden announcement of the Hyperion shuttle’s arrival cracks his fragile supremacy, shattering his demands. As the tiny vessel docks, the Marshal orders Jo removed to the holding cells, his tyranny momentarily suspended but not broken, leaving the Doctor and allies with a fleeting chance to act before the Investigator’s intervention.
