De Flores and Karl's Cyber Control Headphones

A pair of heavy, industrial headphones with thick cushioning and reinforced metal headbands, fitted with microphone booms for two-way communications links. Karl violently strips them from De Flores’s head in the crypt’s darkness, exposing the headphones’ frayed wiring where they were jury-rigged into Cyber Leader systems. Their straps creak as they’re torn away, the seizure marking the abrupt collapse of a fragile alliance built on shared technological dominance over the Cybermen’s forces.
