"Doesn't have to. We'll send it as a distress signal - there's a booster on the orbital transfer station, right next to this ship; I know the codes. Patch it through that, maximum emergency override, and it goes to every ship and station currently in the Eta Ceta star system. No damn good to any of them, of course, without the gene bank to go with it - but it'll get back to the Star Creche for sure. And I'd like to see Kety try to keep a lid on his little plot after that. Can you do it? And keep him out of the bubble long enough for all the information to get through?"
