THE PIT (Fortuna Discussion Topic)

You likely want to avoid as many people as possible intercepting signals as possible. There's no block button on your signals (Except in a few cases, see Y class), sort of like using the Wifi at your local fast food restaurant, if someone really wanted to see what you were doing they could cause it's an unsucure network.

Notails typically use other notails to shuffle along signals farther than they naturally can but in that case they already know to be careful to, I don't know, send the passcode for the nuclear launch site via antennas.

Most of the notail types that have a high range are either likely traveling in the middle of nowhere so there's no one but their group to intercept
See E, and R class.

or they're important notails who are looking to talk to as many people as possible at the same time so they'd want all of their signals intercepted and relayed.
See L, C, O, and M class.

Notails with stronger signals can intercept more signals from farther away too.

But really the main reason notails don't have longer signal range all across the board is because they didn't need it. E, R, C, and M class need it because they're in areas where the people they're talking to might not have communication devices and the only way to locate another person is to signal them out.

That leaves the L and O class who have it because they're big leaders and need to tell people to move out the way or such.

Notails would have had phones by the time they started doing their big gene editing projects.
