Fortunately, almost the instant the broadcast began, all three Echo Demons stopped, the long, pointed ears on either side of their heads twitching rapidly as though trying to identify the source of the sound.
The barrage of broadcast warnings was like a stone thrown into a still lake. Reflected off the metal, the mass of high-frequency sound waves formed a chaotic acoustic pattern.
