The relay sends a silent distress burst without lighting the room or telling an intruder which hand moved. Mount it where fingers can find the textured edge from a chair, bunk, or counter, then test the route beyond the local panel. New units smell of adhesive backing and solder flux. Shopkeepers, medics, and crews carrying passengers buy them because loud courage is not always useful. The relay can ping ship security, a nearby comm, or a contracted responder. If the network path is obvious, jammed, or never tested after refit, silence becomes the product's only reliable feature. Boltward sells Silent Panic Button from the legal front shelves, records the serial, and keeps bypass parts under a different key. The hardware is meant to delay trouble and preserve evidence—not grant the owner magical authority over a corridor.
