Anyone w/ IRL experience understands that reestablishing trusted comms after an unexpected (and in this case prolonged) break requires a series of (usually pre-arranged) verifications. Whoever is posting as "new Q" is ham-handing this so unprofessionally that my intuition (that this is a [DS] set-up) appears-to-be, and apparently is-proving-out to be, close to the mark. Be very careful frens.
"Q" would expect incredible scrutiny.
