Alarm Module
the alarm trap · one of those alarm traps
A mantaur got hold of one, set it to heavy metal, and turned it into a buff and a weapon at once.
Story so far
Reported by Daniel Bautista from outside Station 60. One of the ManTauR neighbourhood bosses guarding the platform has got its hands on one of the alarm traps and has it playing a heavy metal song over and over. Bautista's read is that the song is giving the mantaurs a buff, and separately that it is making everybody's ears bleed — enough on its own to force his group to fall back.
Appearance
A trap module blaring the same heavy metal track on endless repeat.
Role
An alarm trap repurposed as a war drum.
