Final Transmission

2026

Alone aboard a crippled transport drifting through deep space, Commander Elias Walker records what will become humanity’s final message. Earth is gone, and the ship, once a vessel of hope, now carries only failure and silence. As oxygen fades, Elias begins a calm mission log, clinging to duty and procedure. But as systems die around him, the truth surfaces: he isn’t just facing his own death, he’s witnessing the extinction of mankind. In his final moments, the soldier becomes a storyteller, offering not a plea for rescue but a quiet eulogy for the human race. As the ship falls silent, his voice becomes the last echo of humanity, ending with a single, hopeful line: “I hope the stars remember us.”
