Four Winds MK. IV Earpiece

The latest iteration of the Four Winds' communication devices, the Mk. IV earpiece is a marvel of Gnomish engineering, at half the cost and one-fourth the rate of possible inversion during wormhole generation as its predecessors.

​Description
The earpiece is simple to use; a myriad of buttons line the bottom and casing of the earpiece, all with different shapes for ease of locating the right function. It rests comfortably in the employee's ear, despite size differences in race; the Baron thought ahead and had several shapes and sizes of inserts ordered in preparation for a diverse workforce.

The communicators are waterproof, sweatproof, dirt- and corrosion-resistant, in addition to being imprinted with the Winds' stylish Lotus logo for identification. Due to their sensitivity and the complex parts making up the wormhole generator, they are often prone to static-burst fits or reception failures.

Usage
Currently there are four buttons on the earpiece's slim body.


 * The largest and most prominent rounded button near the back is used for speaking, and is held down much as a walkie-talkie 'talk' button would.


 * The next is a rounded toggle, flipped outwards and held down to charge up and generate a wormhole to the Outpost.


 * Following those, on the underside of the earpiece is an elongated red button; pressed once, it speaks the Employee's projected coordinates in a private channel to those present, and when pressed rapidly in succession, it broadcasts the Employee's location as a distress beacon for any and all on-channel.
