For the first earpiece, Michael would be required to speak out loud, for the information to be conveyed.
In normal situations, this was something that would have interested him. But considering that he did not want others to know that he was communicating with someone about something sensitive, it was not suitable.
Instead, there was this other device that matched exactly what he wanted.
The Neural Relay Earpiece was a compact device that allowed its wearer to communicate with any sentient being, or even an artificial intelligence, through directed thought alone.
Instead of speaking, the user would simply focus on the message they wished to convey, and the device could capture that intent, transmitting it as understandable meaning to nearby minds.
To the receiver, whether human, alien, or AI, the message would naturally form in a way they could comprehend.
