I'm not metagaming, and I did not announce it in game.  Vel'kyn said in character she needed to reach the satellites.  My character has a long range communications device.<br/><br/>What I want to know is...would that have helped?  I don't want to say "here, use this" only for some other character to rightfully point out that commlinks only work for voice comms or something.  It's a case where the character would know but the player doesn't.<br/><br/>I'm not happy that you assumed I was metagaming without knowing the situation.
