Varne's Belt Communicator

Pocket-sized black transceiver mounted on Varne’s belt, its unobtrusive design belying its disruptive power. When activated, it emits a sharp double beep that cuts through ambient noise, hijacking priority channels to deliver time-critical updates. Varne grips it briefly during transmission, her fingers tightening around its textured rubberized sides as she prioritizes the incoming alert over Peri’s stabilization attempt, forcing an abrupt pivot in plans.
