- They wouldn't be implanted in the chest... Just a little pickup on the
- jawbone and a little 'speaker' next to the ear canal.. The 'stealth' mode
- would be for the enterprise talking to the crew (almost totally silent) and
- for the crew talking to the ship, it would be as quiet, at least, as using
- their communicators on their chest. Also, if the crew's voice came in a
- little bad (I don't think it would) the computer could process it and fix it
- up a little. It proccesses ALL communications and translates some, routes
- them to their destinations, fixes a bad signal etc, and all of that instantly
- so a little change of the voice pattern would be a snap. (Not that I think it
- would be needed).
