Gorka tapped a talon against the rocky ground, “Let's . . . let's say Vanhoover again. Make the EIA think they're on to something.” He grinned devilishly as Ganix began transmitting the call sign for Vanhoover station. Since they were tapped into the line, there was no way to know where the message had actually originated, but he'd bet his pinfeathers that there were EIA ponies trying to find out. As soon as they got this one, they'd be falling all over themselves to get back to the Vanhoover station, a copy of the message in hoof, demanding to know who'd sent it. Further down the line, the ponies would just relay the message until it got to the Canterlot station, where it would sit—nopony came to collect these messages. One of the staff at the Griffon Embassy had a house next to the tracks, and an automatic receiver in her basement. Every morning, she’d take the tape off the receiver and load it into her saddlebags, and bring it to the embassy, where it would promptly be turned over to the wizened griffon who headed their espionage department.
