Or it could have been Atlas being stuck between a hammer and anvil and being destroyed properly given the CCT (you know, the thing that would have needed to call for help in the first place) was still inoperable and what was needed to launch Amity into space still needed to jury rig explosives...
It's funny because for a good chunk of time between then and when the episodes were coming up, they had the FIRST branding all over it (when people couldn't even get FIRST anymore) implying they didn't realize/check until literally the last minute and had to signal boost in order to tell people...
