Though the comms were unreliable at best, they still had the means of getting a message across if deemed important enough. The most effective was to send packets of data in short bursts that lasted milliseconds.

Ben had died from his wounds, but not before redeeming himself by protecting the woman who had once saved his life and those of all the kids on the New Discovery, the last shuttle to leave Earth.
