Pallets communication with each other

Is there anyway to have pallets communicate with each other?  I have a script that opens up a shared document, pastes the selected artworks, moves them to the correct location, saves and closes.  The problem is if Artist A uses it then Artist B, if Artist A's script isn't done and saved then everything that it does will be over written when Artist B's script saves.  It's that big of a problem right now as the scripts execute really quickly but once or twice a day still adds up to quite a bit of time lost by the end of the year and sometimes if it isn't caught then it adds up to wasted material.

 

What I need to happen is when Artist A runs the script that it sends a hold messaged to the other Artists pallets to not be able to run that script until Artist A sends the done message.  All the computers are hooked up to the same server where the scripts are stored so Artist A and Artist B are running the exact same script from the exact same location each time it is ran but the variables that are created are on the computer not the server.  Is there a way to pass a variable from computer A to computer B through the server or even pass a variable to the server that is checked by all the pallets first before the script is ran?
