Kugai:
"So, we meet again old friend"

BenRG:
"ALICE! THE BLONDE GODDESS ENDURES!"

"Oh god, it's the creepy fanboy! Before we start, no, I will not tattoo my autograph across your backside!"

It must have something that travels orders of magnitude faster than a Struthi cart for the communications to have reached him. And even if you posit something as low tech as a carrier pigeon network then there's a substantial body of work just getting the pigeons distributed to what must be a huge network of agents. And there must be a huge number of agents because Alice/Sedna's route has intersected with an appreciable number which can only be at random. Reckon there's a lot going on we haven't been told about yet.

They might have telegraphs.  I don't see the lines anywhere, but maybe the mysterious stranger in the fancy carriage might have the lines running underground.

Heliographs perhaps?
