"What the fusion said." Moon said. "Defense system self-test starting." Moon ran a self-test on the defensive lasers, shield, and other things. "Healthy pass." Moon continued through the list. "High-Gain Antenna: Stow." The large communications antenna began it's process of stowing.

Peach tried calling the Pink Diamond communicator again.

''The signal sent from Peach's communicator traveled freely, as the transmission was omnidirectional. Any antenna that could read it's frequency could intercept the transmission.''

Hermes had two main antennas: The large unidirectional High-Gain antenna dish, and the omnidirectional Low-Gain Antenna. When the Low-Gain recieved a transmission, it told the High-Gain where to point.

"Side dishes stowing..." Moon watched the antenna go through it's process. Then, a computer beeped. "Low-Gain recieving something?" Moon quickly stopped the High-Gain and returned it to the deployed position before turning it towards the source. "This data... it doesn't make sense..." Then she remebered. "Wait, could this be?"

FLASHBACK

"Look what I got." Moon says to the camera recording the log. "It's one of those communicator things. I wonder if I can find out how it works." She twists the communicator so it attempts to contact Pink Diamond's communicator. "And now, if I put this reciever next to it and put it inside this fairday cage..." Moon looks at the screen showing the raw data from the communicator, and then the data converted into the proper format. The fairday cage prevents signals from escaping. "Okay. So that's the data." Moon pulls it out and turns it off. "Now to put this back."

PRESENT DAY

"Lazarus." Moon remembers. "The files have got to be somewhere in here." Moon starts to search through the data archives until she finds the logs showing the raw data feed, readable data feed, and the conversion. She starts running the conversion. "And... there it is." Moon looks at the logs and on another screen, a video feed of Peach Tourmaline. Peach couldn't see Moon, but Moon could see Peach.

Then something struck Moon as strange. "Why would someone try to contact Pink Diamond when she's broken?"
