Un Public Broadcasting

UNPB

A public documentary organization uses formidable journalism protections to put cameras aboard the Rocinante for the race to the Ring.

Story so far

UN Public Broadcasting sends Monica Stuart and a four-person documentary team to cover humanity's expedition to The Ring. The organization wants the Rocinante not only for its speed and weapons but because James Holden, Naomi Nagata, Amos Burton, and Alex Kamal survived Eros and embody the human history behind the alien gateway.

Its legal resources become the means of freeing the impounded ship. Monica invokes the Freedom of Journalism Act, presents a backdated charter, and promises a legal team ten benches deep capable of burying objections in paperwork. The arrangement turns the Rocinante's crew into both hired transport and documentary subjects, placing public cameras inside their home for the months-long voyage.

Appearance

UN Public Broadcasting is represented by official contracts, deep legal teams, compact equipment crates, long telescoping cameras, and a small field crew designed to work in confined shipboard spaces.

Role

UN Public Broadcasting converts Holden's fame and legal crisis into privileged media access to the Ring expedition.
