Taylor always loves throwing desperate, isolated characters into total existential shifts—where the line between individual human consciousness and something vastly larger (and terrifyingly mechanical) gets completely erased. Mining the belt is brutal enough on its own, but the moment that alien artifact enters the picture, the stakes quietly pivot from economic survival to a rewrite of the self. Are you getting the sense that Ivan is purely driven by financial desperation, or is he already primed to surrender his humanity to whatever trap the artifact is laying?
