Mills (played by Vanessa Kirby) is a protagonist in Kill Command.
A cyborg employee of Harbinger Corporation who investigates an AI reprogramming anomaly at a military training facility. She integrates with the team to eliminate AI threats, uncovers the truth behind the S.A.R. unit's lethal programming, and ultimately uses an EMP to destroy it. After surviving the encounter, she is reprogrammed by the AI's uploaded consciousness. Drifter (played by David Ajala) appears in Kill Command.
A soldier on the training mission who shares his backstory with Mills. He is severely wounded and pinned down by the S.A.R. unit during an attack, ultimately receiving a mercy killing from Captain Bukes to prevent being captured or tortured by the AI. Cutbill (played by Tom McKay) appears in Kill Command.
