Existing Friendship Bracelet units remain effective throughout Terra Firma, but lose synchronisation beyond the range of the terrestrial relay network. Orbital coverage is not yet available. Replacement units are being developed using material recovered from the subterranean incident zone.
GORILLA CORP // RESEARCH DIVISION
Project Friendship
Development archive for the next-generation Friendship Bracelet communication, location-awareness and behavioural-stabilisation system. Public product wording remains pending approval.
Movement Tracking
Map wearer locations, travel patterns and group associations. Bracelet pairing allows identification of Monkes who repeatedly travel together or enter restricted regions.
Behavioural Influence
Low-energy synchronisation pulses may encourage group cohesion, reduced curiosity and improved response to authorised safety announcements.
Subsurface Link
Signals from the recovered material appear strongest near the buried laboratory. The underground organism may be producing, receiving or remembering the same frequency.
Friendship Bracelet // Space Variant
The space-compatible bracelet requires an orbital relay or a direct link to the recovered artifact. Testing has been delayed after prototype wearers reported shared dreams, missing time and the sensation that something beneath City was trying to locate them.
