Mendicant

So uh.. I'm having this problem. Last night I started with RemoteTech and got a nice satellite system set up around Kerbin all nice and good, and started on the Mun This afternoon, my satellites are no longer connecting in chain and are instead connecting THROUGH planetary bodies. Like my Munsat is connected through the Mun and through Kerbin right to the Space Center, regardless of line of sight. Knowing my luck this will be something incredibly obvious that I'm just not seeing

So I first noticed these last night when I was cleaning up my craft list, getting rid of debris and all that. I can't make heads or tails of what they're supposed to be. Are they related to contracts I'm being offered? The only addon I have is MechJeb, and it doesn't seem to be caused by that.
