The
crozo At-cyb Husher Mike is a cybernetic implant comlink. Internal
comlinks are among the most popular and practical cybernetic
implants.Subdermal transmitters and receivers allow silent and
unobservable comlink transmissions, making these tools useful for any
activity, both legal and illicit. It is a small,self-contained comlink
transmitter. The mike is surgically implanted near the subject's
larynx, with additional microsensors placed inside the mouth. The user
subvocalizes messages by subtly duplicating jaw, tongue, and vocal
chord speech movements. This technique produces virtually no sound and
minimal visible movement so observers are unlikely yo notice the
subvocalization process.
The husher mike translates these movements into electrical impulses
which are converted by short-range transponders into a standard comlink
transmission. This signal can be received by any comlink within three
kilometers that is set to the correct broadcast frequency. Although the
user must carry a comlink or tiny audio transmitter to recieve
messages, the husher mike allows the user to circumvent audio
surveillance systems, or 'sound snoopers', such as those that were used
to spy on local citizens during Imperial occupations. However, the
comlink transmissions are susceptible to interception by military-grade
communication scanners.
The basic At-cyb husher mike implant has externally visible
transmitters although for an increased price an upgraded mike with
encryption module for scrambling messages can be placed entirely
beneath the skin, making it detectable only with medical or weapons
scanners.
