The bug was a marvel of engineering. Inserted deep inside a wooden crest of the enemy's government and given to the embassy as a gift, it did not need power, and was not able to be picked up by any scanning tech.
The broadcast range was not huge, so a loyal agent was sealed in a self-sustaining bunker nearby. They listened, and sent their notes one-way.
The agent assumed that the conversations of peace between the empires was a lie, that uniting against another threat was code.
Given they've heard nothing for a long time confirms this. They await extraction...
