A trademark of Amercadian Al’s Equipment and Military Supply Company and an acronym for Inter-Androidic Communications Recording Device. How Al got the acronym, we wouldn’t dare guess. The EARZ recorders were developed during “The Silent Nights” preceding the Droid Wars by the intensely cyberphobic “Boys in the Belt,” the humanoid vigilante squad dedicated to the extermination of rogue Droids and other self-actuated synthetic life forms. “What you don’t hear can kill you,” was their slogan, and their ad-a-rounds were filled with angst-provoking images of treacherous rogue spies in houseboys’ clothing. The EARZ device records up to seven channels of simultaneous communication and, at this writing, sells at about 8.98 standard credits – a real steal. If, however, you want to actually listen to the recorded conversation, you may want to pick up a MOUF, Amercadian Al’s compatible playback unit that will translate the communication into a frequency detectable to humans. MOUF is a bit more pricey, retailing at about 4,000 credits. Batteries not included.
