A Brief Interlude

Rather than more prattling on, today I thought I'd share one of my favorite BattleTech jokes.

The intelligence agencies for all five of the major houses got together and decided to show who was the best. The decided to go to a forest just down the road to find and find a pair of rabbits.

The SAFE agents got lost on the way and staked out a mall instead. No one noticed.
MIIO and the LIC hit the forest running. They spent millions of C-Bills in setting up complicated electronic listening stations, putting in thousands of man hours. In the end, they knew exactly what the other side was doing and what they were doing wrong. They all looked confused when anyone asked about the rabbits.
A single ISF agent walked into the forest. A few moments later he came out dragging a pair of massive grizzly bears who were crying and screaming, “Sure, we're rabbits, we're rabbits! Just don't hurt us anymore!”
The Maskirovka burned the forest to the ground. All the animals were either rabbits or partook in rabbit-like activities.
So, dear reader, I ask you for the last punchline -- what does ROM do?  Feel free to answer for ComStar, the Word of Blake, or both.

  1. ROM sells everyone else air-time to send reports home, then deletes all mentions of rabbits and mis-directs the ships sent to retrieve them
