Object
Gina's Wrist Cuff Microphone (matchbox PTT)
A matchbox-sized matte-black push-to-talk microphone strapped low on Gina's wrist and mostly concealed beneath her sleeve. A narrow speech grille and recessed rubber activation pad sit on the inner forearm so she tilts her wrist to speak; the device clicks softly and emits terse, clipped transmissions. Characters flinch or glance when it crackles, and Gina uses it to whisper urgent, drawn-out warnings and to call terse commands while watching the rope line.

Purpose
On-person push-to-talk voice communication for Secret Service agents to monitor perimeter threats, relay immediate status updates, and issue urgent warnings to colleagues and command.
Significance
Functions as the operational conduit that turns Gina's lone perception into institutional response: her whispered transmissions and sudden shout through the cuff mic escalate a family beat into a life-or-death crisis, precipitating the agents' scramble and the episode's cliffhanger violence.
