"Don't worry, Tadashi, Brainy looked into it for signs of possible sabotage. It looks like some every day, ordinary incompetence during an upgrade. We're outside the edge of UP space and that particular Titanet tower is so far on the outskirts that it isn't used for much traffic. It's nearly falling apart and not staffed that well. The only reason they got more support for fixing it up was because of the treaty negiotations here and the possibility of Epryria joining the UP."

See? A perfectly reasonable explanation for it.

"We'll let you know when comms are back up. It's definitely bad timing, having to go through so much work to reach home."
