Who Was There
Characters present in this moment
Breathless and in physical discomfort but mentally composed and determined; calm exterior masking urgency and pain.
Indy scrambles down into the front seat, breathless and injured, accepts the violent jolt from Kehoe's acceleration, minimizes his pain with a clipped line, and immediately converts the crisis into mission focus by insisting they go to Nepal.
- • Secure immediate escape from whatever danger has followed him to the airport.
- • Orient the team toward the next critical lead by declaring Nepal as the next destination.
- • Speed and movement are the best immediate defense against pursuit.
- • The lead in Nepal is essential and worth prioritizing despite personal injury.
Alert and alarmed at first, shifting quickly to urgent, purposeful action with controlled aggression to remove them from danger.
Kehoe reacts with sudden alarm to Indy's condition, immediately guns the engine and drives fiercely, transforming surprise into decisive motion and providing the physical means of escape while prompting Indy's strategic pivot.
- • Get Indy out of immediate danger by accelerating away from the threat.
- • Establish control of the situation through rapid movement and a show of force (speed).
- • Immediate, forceful action (driving away fast) will reduce risk of capture or pursuit.
- • Indy's condition is manageable and the mission must continue despite physical setbacks.

Nepal is invoked verbally as the next geographic objective and narrative pivot, transforming the immediate escape into a directed journey. Although not physically present, the location reorients the characters' priorities and sets the next act's emotional and plot trajectory.
