In the beginning we see the ship making an escape while undergoing a bomb search. Quite wise to do both, for those Nasty Politicos seem a very determined bunch! They just tried to kill you with a bomb, so why not leave a message (broadcast) over the whole planet to that effect? AFTER you are far enough on your way that they won't come after you... Just to make things interesting for those whose politics are 'difficult' with you leaving. A drone broadcasting on one side of Earth, and a regular broadcast on the other, just for redundance!
It only seems fair to do this, especially in view of the way the landing was botched. Seems that the Bad Folks may have sabotaged the landing craft, among other things, a VERY petty means of revenge. It is obvious that the Great Diaspora has begun, at least for this Milieu.
