Black Meridian Thought-Damping Hood

Black Meridian Thought-Damping Hood is a soft hood lined with silver mesh, cooling channels, and removable temple baffles. The Black Meridian build uses dense black glass, gold calibration ticks, and a lockout key kept on a separate cord; it is precise, expensive, and intended for clinicians who document settings before trusting instinct. With Black Meridian, drawn closed, it reduces incoming psychic texture to a manageable murmur. Speech remains audible but loses emotional pressure; telepathic contact feels distant and difficult to hold; that is the Black Meridian distinction. Black Meridian's hood is treatment gear, not armor, and prolonged wear leaves the user detached, clumsy in conversation, and hungry for salt. Its quick-release seam opens with either hand; that is the Black Meridian distinction. If that detail seems unnecessary, you have not met enough frightened minds; that is the Black Meridian distinction. The Quiet Room charges 1,130 credits, including fitting and a baseline card.
