He heard a sound, movement, and turned. She was gingerly searching through the carpet of weaponized glass shards for her artificial larynx. She found it and pressed the cylinder to her throat. “Alive.”
I like this device, too. It’s a good example of how helpful even comparably simple tinkertech can be. 🙂

His ears were ringing, but he doubted that was it. It would be something subsonic that Cricket noticed with her power, then.
Yep!
