Attention, citizens. Docking sequence complete. Welcome to Alpha Centauri Station. You have crossed four point three light-years. Some of you slept through it. Some of you counted every day. All of you made it. Behind you lies the world that raised you. It is a faint light now, and it will never be as close again. Ahead of you lies a world that does not yet know your name. Here, there are no strangers. There are only those who arrived, and those who will. You are the first. Whatever we become, it begins with you. Take a breath. The air is yours. The light is yours. The silence between the stars is behind you. Please proceed to the transit hall. Your quarters are prepared, and someone is waiting to greet you. Citizens, welcome home. [Outro] [Fading ambient tail] [Gentle space station hum]
