Locarno’s False Testimony and Brand’s Demand

The Nova Squadron Flight Path Monitor is a wall-mounted display that projects a detailed schematic of Saturn, its moons, and the five ships of Nova Squadron. Brand activates it during Locarno’s testimony to trace the flight path leading to Joshua Albert’s fatal collision. Satelk zooms the display to reveal ship formations and the precise impact moment, exposing gaps between the cadets’ accounts and the visual data. The monitor’s role is to serve as an impartial witness, its schematics revealing the inconsistencies in the cadets’ lies. Hajar and Sito watch tensely as the display highlights their evasions, the monitor acting as a silent but damning counterpoint to their fabricated story.

Before: Active and displaying the pre-loaded flight path schematic, ready for Brand and Satelk to use as a tool for interrogation.

After: Deactivated by Satelk after Sito’s testimony, but its data remains a critical piece of evidence for the forensic review.
