A beacon you leave behind. A small satellite left in Sol that contains notes.
Fuck. Did you think the sleeper ship was radioing Earth? It could have a local broadcast, but not at all my point.
Edit: https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/beacon Beacons don't have to move.
often they don't, that's where the term beacon comes from. Saying that they don't have to is a little wrong, since it's probably more accurate to state that "they don't have to stay stationary" instead.
