[USS Calypso - Communications]

Sakura sat behind the communications console. She began by monitoring the Coalition channels, and the usual amount of chatter that they had been seeing the past few days since they arrive had disappeared. It was if they are completely gone into a communications silence as soon as the kidnapping in New Paris happened. But the weird thing about it was that they were able to monitor that the Coalition was mobilizing their troops.

This was very strange since they had not been given any orders from the Coalition Command, Calypso would have been able to pick up the transmission if it had been sent. Even if they had used their secret channels they would have been able to pick it up. But there was nothing. There was just the sound of white noise.

On the other hand Alliance had a bit more chatter, but even their chatter was down from the usual that they had been able to pick up over the past few days. The chatter that did come from the Alliance was mostly military chatter. They had been issued orders to start mobilization of their troops. They were to tighten their boarders and wait for further orders from the General. It seemed that their course of action was in response to that of the Coalition.

The last group that she had been told to keep a very close eye and ear on was a total mystery. She wasn't able to really pick up any of their transmissions. They were either hidden really well or they just weren't sending any of them. And also there wasn't any movement that she could pick up with their sensors. It was strange.

Sakura had been instructed to send in a report every 15 minutes to Morgan, and when that time came up she put together her findings into a report and submitted them to Morgan. Then she turned her attention to the communications console and returned to monitoring the channels.

She was starting to be very curious to how the Coalition was mobilizing their troops but they weren't communication with the capital city, nor were they communication with one another. There had to be something that they were missing. She was wondering if they had found a way to send transmissions that weren't able to be picking up. That type of technology would be very advanced, and not only that but people would want that type of thing.

She put together a theory that the Coalition was finding a way of communicating with each other without them being able to detect it and like any good scientist she began to experiment on how they would be able to do this and how Calypso could be able to pick it up, she only hoped that she would find the answer soon rather than later.
