• A) the signals, because he or she is orbiting well outside the event horizon
• B) the signals, but shifted to a much redder wavelength because he or she is very close to the event horizon
• C) nothing, because your colleague has crossed the event horizon
• D) nothing, because no light can escape the gravitational pull of a black hole no matter how close the signal is to it
