Bella's mid-conversation with Jane when she cuts out.
[Jane?]
Jane... pretty much fails to exist.
[Jane.]
Nothing.
Bella goes to the Janepoint, and there's a message for her on the screen, something about lost ansible connection.
Well, shit.
[Queenie, Ghosty, Slipstick?]

Who was the first other person to find out about the plan with the nuke-explainer, then?

Bella follows her and faaaaaades slowly out of stealth mode; her aura cooperates as long as she's just withdrawing it instead of switching modes. She stops when she still attracts significantly less notice than she should; she doesn't really want passerby attention. But someone walking right behind you should catch anyone's notice, even if they've got a little magic suggesting you look away. Especially when they say:
"Excuse me."
"Excuse me."
The woman walks faster without answering. This is an entirely reasonable reaction if someone is following you closely on a Gotham street.

Bella sighs. "Okay, we can have the rest of this conversation on Ganymede, maybe that will help."
She teleports the lady to Terraformed Prison Colony Ganymede, within eyeshot of but not right next to Bane.

"So yeah, I'm not a random person who decided to follow you down the street," Bella says, folding her arms, "I'm a powerful busybody and I have some questions."

"I am completely prepared to leave you on Ganymede forever. Would you like to produce any reason for me not to do that?"
bellfounding
"Okay then."
Bella looks for the next person to find out about the plan in much the same way.

A highly suspicious underground chamber that both looks and smells like it is part of a sewer system!

That is interesting. Bella supervises the panic to see what the shape of this group may be.

That's good, then, it should be safe to supervise a little longer and figure out who these people are, what they were trying to accomplish, etcetera.
They are all very concerned about the disappearance of someone called Bane. No one can seem to agree on anything except that it is very bad that Bane is gone and they're not sure what to do now.
While she is watching them, another four people arrive with the corpse of the rabbit.

There's a lot of people here.
Bella decides to unstealth.
"There was no call to kill that bunny," she says. "All it did was fail to be a nuke anymore."
