Supervisor Gamila

Gamila · PA Supervisor Gamila · Port Authority Supervisor Gamila

Gamila’s necessary data authorization makes her look suspicious, but Murderbot recognizes her innocence and evacuates her from Balin’s attack.

Story so far

Supervisor Gamila connects the stalled cargo transfer to the Lalow, survives its crew’s armed misunderstanding, and helps coordinate the refugee search. Because the final bait operation requires a Port Authority data dump, Senior Officer Indah must tell her enough to authorize temporary storage. When the murderer reacts, Gamila is briefly the only human who appears to have known the plan.

Murderbot immediately rejects her as the traitor and instead confronts her longtime bot colleague Balin. Entering Gamila’s office with a projectile weapon, it tells her only to run; she obeys, and Special Investigator Aylen catches and evacuates her before the CombatBot attacks. Gamila survives uninjured, though the trusted machine beside her has been exposed as the murderer.

Appearance

An adult woman Port Authority supervisor of unspecified age, skin tone, hair, features, and build, wearing practical dock-management clothing.

Role

Relationships
