Earth’s Encoded Transmissions

A series of encoded audio-visual messages received from Earth over fifty years, stored in Monarch’s vessel. The transmissions manifest as flickering holographic projections, their grainy imagery and broken audio betraying poor reception. Monarch references them as justification for his mission, emphasizing their role in shaping his fifty-year "salvation" plan. Adric and the Earth captives handle the playback equipment with practiced familiarity, their routine contrasting with the transmissions' grave content.
