"The Ear" and "the Happy Tongue" |
"The Ear" is used by baselines to indicate if they are under surveillance by active sensors or via active transmissions. The ear is a small box often worn on a necklace. It can either 'beep' when it detects a problem, or it can be set to vibrate or link through some other communication device when it detects something.
The ear samples the whole EM spectrum as well as background, sub- and super-sonics looking for the telltales of communications. It CAN be fooled either via frequency-hopping, spread-frequency transmission, or via nano infestation of the Ear itself to reprogram it to ignore certain sensors, or even simply to turn off the detectors once and for all.
Additionally, we have Doctor Hadrian's Handy Hangover Helper. This handy-dandy little nanodose is a blood-born nano system which scrubs toxins from the system, greatly aiding the recovery from toxin overdose side-effects (e.g., hangovers). Only 3 creds a dose. Not recommended for the metabolically adjusted or endocrine tweaked.
Finally, the Happy Tongue. This is used by those who can't afford good tasting food. It is a nanodose which coats the throat, palate, teeth and tongue to simulate the texture and flavor of a preferred food. It is usually available in week long doses, but permanent implants are also available for an increased cost.
