The recent topic by Shadowen (questioning the Captain's gender) got me thinking about the intro cinematic again and I already expressed some thoughts towards that in that topic. I initially wanted to post that in my post there as well but I felt this was going hugely off topic and probably even warrants a topic of it's own.
Something else that has bugged me forever with that intro is also why the Captain didn't warn the others. You clearly see him drop a whole second before the Vetron starts firing and clearly he noticed something earlier on. Wouldn't he have shared his concerns with his teammates? Or did he/she only notice it in the last second, thinking that warning them wouldn't make any difference anymore except maybe attract the Vetron to the fact that he/she wasn't hit?
Or could it be he didn't warn them for whatever reason? Maybe he already had decided to leave the WEC and join the Resistance. Or maybe he decided after seeing they were sent to terminate innocent civilians and wasn't sure that Vittek and Zurovec, in spite of what happened and the obvious moral conflict they (or at least Zurovec) went through, would stop him or not.
