The First Healing and the Unleashed Storm: John’s Powers Erupt in Public

The Color Wash is the focal point of this event, manifesting first as a healing force that dissolves the Zalkonian toxin in the crewman’s body and restores his breath. However, its true nature is revealed as John loses control: the Color Wash erupts from his hand, spreading uncontrollably through the corridor wall panel and surging through the ship’s systems. It is both a miracle and a menace, a duality that encapsulates John Doe’s own conflicted nature. The Color Wash is not merely a visual spectacle but a narrative device that forces the characters—and the audience—to confront the consequences of unchecked power.

Before: Dormant within John Doe, a latent energy waiting to be unleashed.

After: Unleashed and uncontrollable, surging through the corridor and disrupting the ship’s systems, leaving a trail of instability in its wake.
