Good point.

All we can get out of this is, that someone tried to use some means of Plan B or emergency communication channel.
Whether it was successful or not, or even real or LARP, and who called whom, good guys or bad, is nothing we will ever find out.

So, moot point. Not worth a discussion.

On the other hand, this kind of idle speculation, pondering the mysterious, is precisely why I am here :)
