- — Anki Hersh to Fred-104.[1]
Spy gnats, alternatively referred to as spy midges, are miniature microphones that are used for covert surveillance.[1][2]
Overview
Intelligence data gathered by multiple spy gnats may be collected at a central transmitter to then be relayed elsewhere. Microbursts of data from gnats can be sent at random intervals.[1] Gnats are unable to transmit information from realspace to a receiver in slipspace.[3]
History
In December of 2553, the Spartan-III super-soldier Ash-G099 used spy gnats to bug the Mudoat starsloop, Stolen Faith.[1] He and the rest of his Ferret were undercover aboard the Kig-Yar-crewed vessel as part of Operation: RETRIBUTION at the time.[1] The gnats he placed relayed audio data to the Sahara-class heavy prowler Template:UNSCship, where it was downloaded by signals intelligence personnel.[2]
