Oh, is that all?
Haruhi's sources are, in decreasing order of frequency, my people, Nagato, Itsuki's people, and her own bizzaro-planet version of logic (whose reliability I think I've covered already).
The Reavers have intelligence organs of their own - including several active sources on Stellvia. There was no way to keep anything happening on-station from getting out to warn them into altered or increased deployments... including, say, increased armament for a particular ship. We'd been getting around it by shuffling hulls - the datachannels were and remain secure to the best of our ability to determine - but at the time that wasn't an option. Ptichka wasn't the only battlewagon jumped during that period, and a couple of the others they just scattered and hit targets in the surrounding area rather than fight.
For the record: While I can't advocate -full- discosure, I'm willing to agree that our current posture is considerably overboard. Haruhi, AFAIK, has been advocating telling all from the get-go. Nagato doesn't give a damn what -other people- know about her, so long as Haruhi isn't one of them. But Itsuki and Asahina seem to have 'all-costs' secrets of their own, though -she- -has- said that she regards hers as having only personal implications.
Itsuki's concerns seem to be primarily directed at me and mine, make of that what you will.
And... okay, I'm about to -vastly- exceed my authority: Go dig up 'Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuutsu' - it's an anime that came out about the same time the wave hit. The Farm isn't quite sure -what- to make of it in relation to real life, but at least one of the things mentioned in it has been -confirmed- as real.
And for fuck's sake, don't tell -her- about it. -Whatever- the truth is, that kind of complication's unlikely to do -anyone- any favors.
Yours, AAA
