Platoon 354 gathered in the empty hangar bay as ordered. General Ralston took the podium.
"Men, we have an important mission for you but this mission is extremely covert, more covert than anything you have ever been involved with before. We need you to get into a certain facility, shut it down and capture the leader however, it will be absolutely impossible for you to just go there. We will have to sneak you in somehow and sneak you back out. I'd like to introduce you to Mr. Johnson from our secret military technology development department. His department is so secret, I can't tell you the name of the department but he has some devices to help you with your mission."
Mr. Johnson stepped up to the podium. "Alright we decided to first address the noise issue. You want to be able to move silently but you still want to be able to communicate with each other. These tiny devices attach behind your ear and will not fall off. You won't even be able to remove them without help and they are practically undetectable. Anyone looking or feeling behind your ear might notice a bump but that's all they will notice, just a bump of what they will think is ordinary skin. However, these will allow you to telepathically communicate with each other. It will not be like reading minds. You'll have to project your thoughts at each other intentionally but whatever thoughts you project will transmit to all devices tuned to the right frequency within range. You won't just be able to communicate silently with each other but we will have other agents in the field equipped with these so you can communicate with them too."
The telepathic bumps were distributed until all thirty-six soldiers in the platoon got used to communicating with each other without making a sound.
