What does DC symbology 'T' indicate?

• A. Communications Lost
• B. Target Acquired
• C. Temperature Rise
• D. Transmission Normal

Answer: (A)

In DCU symbols, a single-letter tag is used to quickly indicate the status of a major system. The letter T signals that communications have been lost, meaning the ship cannot send or receive standard transmissions and crews must rely on alternate methods or routes to maintain contact. This designation helps damage-control teams quickly focus on restoring comms and identifying where the failure lies in the transmission chain. The other concepts correspond to different conditions: a temperature rise would point to overheating of equipment and would be indicated by a symbol tied to heat conditions, not a loss of communications; target acquired relates to sensor or weapon status, which is a separate indicator; transmission normal would imply comms are functioning, which is the opposite of what this symbol conveys.
