I can see three ways of reading that:

a) Spying has to be electronic because the Os are non-organic or robotic (Os
as OS as operating system?)
b) The Os don't at all resemble humans and therefore no human spy could
infiltrate an Os organization, so electronic reconnaissance is the only
option.
c) The Os communicate non-verbally; perhaps there are telepathic
communications that might be electronically intercepted?

a) would seem to presuppose another race behind the Os. None of these three
options rule out the other two from also being true.
