Mason Wheeler Posted February 27, 2019 Report Share Posted February 27, 2019 Do we have any WOBs on whether the Set's "speaking box" is a telephone, a radio, or something else entirely? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calderis Posted February 27, 2019 Report Share Posted February 27, 2019 It seemed to be a radio and transmitter by my understanding. Not aware of any WoBs though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weltall Posted February 27, 2019 Report Share Posted February 27, 2019 Given the distances and the difficulty of laying telephone cables without someone noticing, it's a safe assumption that it's a radio. There is a WoB on it and while Brandon doesn't directly say 'it's a radio' the questioner does repeatedly and Brandon doesn't correct them, while definitely confirming that it's pure technology without an Investiture component.
