Kellman's Concealed Surveillance Device
A multi-functional concealed device combining hygienic disguise with espionage functionality. Originally Kellman's personal hairbrush (featuring worn bristles and cracked handle that create distinctive scratches), the device's hollow interior houses both surveillance and communication components. The unit has been repurposed with wiring connecting its hollow core to both external monitoring systems and short-range transmission arrays. When stashed in a drawer beneath Kellman's sleeping compartment, its crude mounting and terminal connections prove hasty concealment, while its deceptive mundanity masks advanced Ark technology. Kellman's absentminded scratching on metal panels and activation through ventilation grids reveal its dual roles in monitoring and external signaling.
