Reminds me of a time I was part of a simulation of sending a live group to Mars. I was in the role of a Mission Specialist, trying to get instructions to one of the groups handling potentially hazardous samples on Mars. All communications had to go through one person/panel and that person was amazingly bad at it. They couldn't handle multi-tasking and kept playing "favorites" to her friends, which was drawback of doing this simulator with high schoolers, I suppose. A lot of my messages were lost and/or garbled/misunderstood. We had a radiation event because my counterparts on the ship got bored with nothing to do and just screwed around with the remote arm and radioactive samples. Good times.
