The radio pops then a voice says, "Who Knows this is Captain Ross Linger aboard INS Vaulthall. We see your course correction. Now go to radio silence. When we want to talk to you we'll do it and you reply on a tight beam directly to this ship. No reply needed. Out."
Carlos grins and shoots a tight beam back. "No huhu, boss. I'm thinking Navy will McLove us a bit then turn the newsies on us.

It looks like all the ships will converge on a location about 2 million km out from the gas giant in about 70 minutes. About 20 minutes before the intercept there is a ping from The Old Dream coming in over a very tight beam.
"Hey, this is Lord William." says a male voice followed by a feminine one, "And Lady Jane."
"We're currently at an angle where none of the other ships can detect this, but only for a couple of minutes, so I just wanted to tell you that everything is going to be okay. I've talked to Captain Linger then escalated the conversation to include Admiral Simms, the Seneschal for the Duke, and the Sector Director of LSP.
