I'm not sure if this will work in this case, but try this: dive, and do not raise the scope. After a minute or so you should lose contact. You should be able to punch up the time compression to whatever you want at this point. Transit submerged for a few h ours, away from the contact, then surface. You should be home free.
I haven't tried it in this situation, but it might work. I use this technique mostly to speed things along after a contact is made. For example, I make contact with a collier; I manuever to my shooting position. I dive and let contact be lost. I estimate the time until the ship reaches the shoot point, then ratchet up the time compression until that time.
