Weird idea here, but I wonder if the Q trip code is being used by multiple people to communicate with each other.
For example, random guess here, but "Comms understood?" looks like a straight forward question, but asking a bunch anons that seems kind of off. Then, the 'question' appears again. It's "COMMS GOOD?". All caps now, and wording is slightly different. Almost like it was an answer. Maybe a white hat answering another white?
