Narrative:
Aircraft X was a pwm departure. Aircraft Y was en route level at 11000 ft. The radar controller issued a climb to aircraft X to 16000 ft, which I did not hear. The sector was busy with several military flight restrs and I don't think the radar controller observed aircraft Y when he climbed aircraft X.
