So I don't think anybody's tried preventing the Antenor from signaling the Carthage on Pawns. 

[Dilmah G]

I do believe I tried that during testing.

[Pred the Penguin]

Won't you fail the mission if do that?
I pretty sure I accidentally did that once, but it was pretty borked since I destroyed the comm subsystem during the Antenor's transmission. I ended up with both mission failure dialogue and normal dialogue but still failed the mission.

[General Battuta]

I'm talking about the second signal, when the Antenor's captain tells the Carthage to flee.

[Pred the Penguin]

What happens if you try?

[-Sara-]

Don't ask, try.

[General Battuta]

It's nothing that special. The Antenor just gets clever.

[-Norbert-]

Aren't they useing something other than the comm-system for that? I think I remember something like that....

Spoiler:

They go all Jean-Luc Picard and device a way to use their targetting sensors to message the Carthage.

You've taken out their comms, so they go for - I can't remember if it's weapons or sensors next. They'll get quite creative if you take those out as well.

Covering all the bases to ensure the GTVA always has a way to **** on your Corn Flakes.

With all those contingencies the captain must have been a distant cousin to Steele.

[Scotty]

What happens if you completely, completely disarm/disable/de-subsystem the Antenor?

[General Battuta]

I don't remember. Go find out!

[Arcalane]

I shall right now. I need to kill all Antenor subsystems/etc. before the second transmission? Sounds easy enough.

[-Sara-]

Just paveway it.

[Arcalane]

Hex scalpel.

Antenor has been completely disabled. Now for the waiting game.

Conversation is as follows;

Spoiler:

Hanuman: The Antenor is using isome kind of improvised transceiver to transmit a short-range message to the Carthage! Attempting to jam!
Antenor: <intercepted> Admiral, this is Captain Hamid! You're the real target! Get out now, or they'll rip you apart!
Carthage: <intercepted> I would sooner die than see my men in an Ubuntu camp. Stand by, Captain. We'll have the jamming cleared in five minutes.
Simms: Hanuman, shut that corvette up!
Antenor: <intercepted> Admiral! We are NOT WORTH IT! Get the hell out while you still can!
Carthage: <intercepted> God damn it.
Carthage: <intercepted> Ops, signal all hands to brace for a crash jump. Helm, spool up the tactical drive. Captain Hamid - godspeed. I will be back for you, just as soon as I can.

I believe they actually teach 'Contingencies 101' at the GTVA Officer Academy. Steele consequently got a Masters in it.

Would this mean it takes two catcalysmic wars for people to start thinking of survival tactics?
