Zoe activates the Travel-Mat video

The Rocket Model, first spotted by Zoe on the entry scanner, serves as an early point of fascination for the group. Its sleek form and placement among other spacefaring achievements symbolize the human drive for exploration and innovation. While it is not directly interacted with during this event, its presence contrasts with the Travel-Mat system’s prominence, subtly highlighting the shift from traditional rocketry to teleportation technology. The model’s inclusion in the exhibits reinforces the narrative’s theme of technological evolution, as well as the personal stakes for Professor Eldred, whose ion rocket designs were superseded by the Travel-Mat.

Before: On display in the Space Museum, part of the exhibits celebrating human spacefaring milestones.

After: Remains on display, now overshadowed by the Travel-Mat video and the group’s sudden confrontation.
