I just love Urahara kill stole like that. Even he can be serious when he has to be. I'm glad they didn't drag out the communicating with Ichigo thing.

As for the badge thing, I'm guessing that they detected that it was in Urahara's base, and assumed that since Ichigo is in Hueco Mundo, Urahara must be near enough to pass the word along. In which case, they apparently have a direct line to him.
