Two elements comprise SIGNIT. The first is "Communications Intelligence" (COMINT) which is intelligence obtained through the interception of electronic message communications (ie. telegrams and telephone communication) and the second is "Electronic Intelligence"(ELINT) which is intelligence obtained though the interception of electronic signals (ie. radar and missile emissions.)

The "fertility experts" assure her that the surgery is minor and the risk is minimal.
