GTVA-CTA Traffic Bulletin #4711 | Ikeya System | 02-08-2367

The GTVA-CTA would like to remind all commercial pilots in the Ikeya System to refrain from reporting any further instances of ''phantom signals'', ''ghost radio broadcasts'', or similar their communications equipment may detect while scanning the D- or Y-Band while in diagnostics mode. These ''signals'' are naturally occurring phenomena in the Ikeya System. They are neither man-made nor Shivan in origin.

Processing unsubstantiated reports like these occupy valuable personnel and resources, which would otherwise be used to maintain and improve the services of the GTVA-CTA.

Furthermore, the GTVA-CTA would like to remind you that no commercial, military or emergency service uses frequencies above 150 GHz for communications purposes.

That's cuz you never met me!

Well, if it's a natural phenomenon, we should at the very least find out why they happen. I don't trust anything my shipboard sensors can't make sense of.

16:27 | 02-08-2367 | Reia Hanabi @GTD Oberon:
''Phantom signals'' huh, what about the ''phantom ships'' we were told to ignore, how'd that turn out? You'd think the second anniversary of the attack on Ross 128 would be a reminder...

18:05 | 02-08-2367 | Aditya Haldar @GTSC Chandrasekhar:
I'd offer to help analyze these signals, but I need all of my ship's processing power for this planetary survey mission right now. I'm heading back to Ribos as soon as my work here is complete.

Oh come on Haldar, what's a few more hours of this <moderated by ADMIN>? We could make the next discovery of the decade! Nothing interesting ever happens, who cares if we're a teensy bit behind schedule if we get to have some fun? I know you're going stir crazy too, drop the professionalism already!

This is all part of the GTVA conspiracy to hide the 34 alien races that emerged from the Laramis system. The moon landing was a hoax!

Looks like our radio station is safe for now folks! PM me any suggestions for a new playlist!

04:29 | 2-09-2367 | Jeanne LaRose @GTFr Mascheri:
We are certainly NOT broadcasting anything to interfere with standard or emergency operations. Anyone saying otherwise is making a VERY unfunny joke.

08:05 | 2-09-2367 | Michael Ray, Technician @GTI Moore:
I hope a competent science team gets to examine the phenomenon. I don't think it's a good idea for freelancers to just casually look around for anomalies in a system that's been contested by Shivans in the past. If they screw something up, it will have consequences, especially if one of them finds something out there again...

09:17 | 2-09-2367 | Ann Gray, Secondary Navigator @GTM Venice:
Whether anyone finds something or not, someone's sure to get lost in space if something craps up in these beaten up tin cans. And I can't guarantee anyone that I will be able to make out distress calls against this kind of background. So watch your jump trajectories out there.

Is it just me, or did the MSO just poke fun at the CTA?
