Mad Max 1979
In this transmission, Earth society is visibly breaking down, though humans continue to pretend otherwise. The roads are still paved, uniforms are still worn, and the laws are still recited — but none of it holds. What remains of law enforcement now operates more like a motorized survival club, patrolling highways with muscle cars and diminishing patience.
Max is one of these officers. He appears calm, skilled, and detached — until a violent gang murders his friend and later targets his wife and child. The transition is rapid. Max stops being a lawman and becomes something colder. He no longer protects the system; he simply outdrives and outguns what threatens him.
The gang, like many post-order humans, operates through chaos. They wear scavenged armor, scream without purpose, and film their crimes for amusement. There’s no ideology, only velocity. Max meets them on their level and eliminates them one by one, using the road itself as weapon and judgment.
Conclusion: When Earth systems collapse slowly, humans cling to symbols — badges, fuel, personal codes — but these are easily stripped away. What’s left is motion, grief, and revenge dressed up as justice.
For Nebulon, the lesson is simple: if a human is quiet, armed, and maintaining a vehicle after a personal loss, do not engage. Monitor from orbit. Wait for the engine to cool.
