“Cricket,” he called out.  “You alive?”

I hope so.

I mean, all of these are shitty people, but Cricket’s one of the cool shitty people.

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. 🙂

“You said something was wrong.  What did you notice?”

“Sound.  The glass was singing.  Still is.”  She pointed at one wall.

Hm, yeah, sounds like I was on to something last time with the power working via vibrations.

Hookwolf followed the line to a building across the street and a little ways to one side.

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

Yep!
