Monoids assert control over the travelers

The numbered collars worn by the Monoids serve as both identifiers and symbols of their new rank and authority.

These collars are a stark contrast to their previous enslaved status, now marking them as the rulers of the Ark. They reinforce the Monoids' organized rebellion and their structured hierarchy, making their dominance feel institutionalized and irreversible.

Before: Used to identify and control the Monoids as enslaved laborers, with no vocal capability.
