Rennac turned from surveying the site to find pieces to create some sort of powerful light source to Jackdaw apparently trying to find the communications center. As much as he liked the idea of calling in an orbital strike it would be impossible. All electrical signals were being absorbed, not even just blocked. Only something along the light spectrum could possibly be conveyed- "Thats it! Sending an optical signal to be transferred through the ship's infrared sensor relay! A bit antiquated but if those technicians will be able to decipher the apparent glitch as a message!" HIs bit of genius was reserved for himself sadly before he went over to Jack at the colonist. "If we're going to transfer a signal from the radio frequency spectrum to infrared light, we'll need a red laser diode. Do you have ANYTHING that remotely resembles a laser security grid? A laser tripwire mine? I will even make due with one of those handheld laser pointers at this point."
