Day 319: The Mutants Episode 2

Jaeger is a very interesting character when we look at The Mutants. He's a scientist, who works for the benefit of humanity, trying to figure out how to save the humans who inhabit Solos from the atmosphere which requires them to wear Oxymasks to prevent themselves from dying of asphyxiation. Indeed any scientific knowledge that he sees the Doctor utilise, he realises can be used for humanities benefit. The only problem is that it is quite clear that Jaeger only sees benefits for humanity, and not for the wider populace of Solos. Jaeger represents a scientist with a closed mind, one who has been influenced by Empire at little too much and does not realise the wider concerns of his actions. This shows to the audience that perhaps their scientists too are affected by closed-mindedness, only focussed on the solutions for the people within their immediate vicinity and with little concern for the people who just don't matter in their world-view.
