Our reading
An editorial interpretation.
The speaker tells Mal that the signal cannot be stopped. The line presents communication as something that resists control, giving its brief assertion a defiant force. It expresses confidence that an attempt to suppress the message will fail, without specifying here who is trying to stop it.
