| Description: | Bugs are near-microscopic, difficult to detect monitoring devices, which enable an individual to hear conversations or to record them for later monitoring. Typically, a bug array is packaged as a small rod containing fifty implantable bugs, together with a bug detector. Placed by touched the rod to a wall joint, light switch, or some other feature of a room, implanted bugs are not recoverable, but they can be destroyed. Bugs send a constant signal to a central monitor. Bugs, once placed, are impossible to detect without a bug detector. A detector is calibrated to detect the signals of bugs and to note their location. A bug detector can be set on one of three settings: Detect, Smother, or Destroy. "Detect" merely indicates the presence and location of a bug. "Smother" prevents a bug from sensing conversations, but allows the bug to remain active. "Destroy" actually destroys the bug which has been detected. |
