He pulled out his laptop and a device that looked like a small black box with wires coming out of it. "This is going to take about ten minutes. I need to clone the signal and then set up a redirect so whoever is monitoring this thinks you are going wherever we tell them you are going.""Can they tell the signal has been cloned?""Not unless they are really good.
