Character

Tannoy

mechanical authoritative impatient predictable

An automated public address system integrated into the space liner's operational infrastructure. Tannoy delivers mechanical, monotone warnings during critical phases of departure and abort procedures, its voice serving as an impersonal but constant presence amid escalating crises. The announcements escalate tension without emotion, reinforcing the liner's unforgiving systems that operate beyond human control. Though faceless, its repeated warnings of clamp withdrawals, system tolerances, and countdown sequences frame it as an unavoidable intermediary between the crew's efforts and the ship's automated operations.
