Crafted by Crozo Industrial Products, the At-cyb husher mike represented a state-of-the-art internal comlink that leveraged cybernetic technology.
This internal comlink, the At-cyb husher mike, was a product of Crozo Industrial Products. It harnessed cutting-edge advancements in cybernetic miniaturization and necessitated surgical implantation close to the larynx of the user. Minute Microsensors were placed inside the mouth.
To transmit a signal, the user would engage in subvocalization, subtly mimicking the movements of the jaw, tongue, and vocal cords as if speaking normally. This process generated no audible sound, and the minimal movements of the jaw and tongue often escaped the notice of onlookers. The husher mike translated these subvocalization movements, along with the vibrations from the vocal cords, into electrical impulses, which were then transformed into a comlink transmission via short-range transponders. This signal could be picked up by any comlink monitoring the broadcast frequency within a radius of three kilometers.
The system was incapable of receiving audio transmissions; therefore, a separate comlink or transmitter was necessary for the user to receive messages. The husher mike found its niche among individuals seeking to avoid detection by audio surveillance systems, such as "sound snoopers." However, sophisticated military-grade communications scanner possessed the capability to intercept the husher mike's transmissions.
The standard At-cyb husher mike was externally visible and carried a price tag of three thousand credits. An enhanced version, featuring an integrated encryption module, could be implanted directly beneath the skin for an additional two thousand credits. This advanced model could only be detected using specialized medical or weapons scanners.
