Narrative:
Aircraft X was in sector O10's airspace and deviated into the sector. Was working R4 without any coordination. The aircraft was cleared by the R2 controller because comrdo put the aircraft on the wrong frequency. The aircraft never would have entered R2's airspace and the R2 controller had no jurisdiction to control the aircraft. Comrdo doesn't know the procedures for the new watrs airspace and the controllers haven't been properly trained.
