Fang Xu pondered for a moment, then reached out and opened the public communications channel on the control console.

Because the distance was relatively short and signal interference was minimal, the fleet and the surface teams still used the simplest form of electromagnetic communication.
In less than a second, the static rapidly faded, and Fang Xu's voice came over the channel.
"...came from Light Satellite One."
"..."
