Federation Ships' Arrival Transmission
The automated Federation announcement crackles through the communications room as a distorted electronic voice, its harsh metallic timbre cutting through the tension. The transmission announces the imminent arrival of Federation troops, its words pulsing through speakers embedded in the room's walls. Sarah and Eckersley stiffen at the sound, their expressions tightening as they recognize the unmistakable authority behind the communication—a signal not just of arrival, but of impending confrontation.
