Audio Signal from Angel One
A digital audio communication transmitted from the planet Angel One, received aboard the starship Enterprise. This signal conveys the terse and unwelcoming voice of Angel One's female-led government, specifically its 'Elected One,' Beata. The signal functions as the primary medium for initial diplomatic contact, crackling with the formal and cold tone that immediately establishes cultural hostility. The signal's presence triggers heightened alertness and strategic focus among the Enterprise bridge officers, including Picard, Geordi, Data, Riker, and Tasha, marking a shift from remote observation to imminent direct engagement.
