Target Three
MinorTarget Three grips her weapon with desperate tenacity, her form crumpled yet defiant on the cold floor. Pain etches her features, a fierce spark refusing to dim amid the chaos.
Target Three appears as a one-off antagonist in Fugitive Telemetry, a female suspect in the GrayCris-linked murder investigation on Preservation Station. Armed with a projectile weapon during the climactic confrontation, she is swiftly neutralized by Murderbot—shot in the chest and shoulder, after which she crumples but remains conscious long enough to grope for her fallen gun. Her violent resistance and rapid defeat provide critical momentum to the interrogation, helping unravel the larger conspiracy. Though she never recurs, her takedown exemplifies Murderbot's evolving willingness to use lethal force in defense of its newfound allies while still prioritizing non-lethal outcomes when possible.
