An Octopus Arm pulled a cable out of the wall, then followed the conduit and removed a metal panel, revealing a miniature transmitter inside.

Every label that could identify the model had been scratched off, but an experienced technician could tell at a glance: the neatly bundled wires and high-density, three-dimensional integrated circuits.
This was no longer ordinary battlefield military equipment. These were high-end components for espionage.
Military components were built to be rugged and reliable, at a reasonable cost. Espionage equipment spared no expense, and the difference was even more apparent in information components.
If they hacked into it, they could probably find complex, multilayered encryption and security measures in the system, but that would be a little dangerous.

Thwack.
The basement was dimly lit. Some of the uneven earthen walls were even exposed, and tools and debris were scattered through the passageways.

It also operated quite reliably in a variety of environments.
Black-market junk Cyber-Eyes might have less than half the clarity of natural eyes. Their dynamic range, color processing, and focusing adaptability were even worse.
For instance, the mine tunnels in the darkness were now all in view, further enhancing Lier's visual feed-
In situations like this, the Maelstrom Sharp Eyes were incredibly useful.
Cyber-Eye technology was somewhat different from other forms of Cyberware. Maybe he could start exploring some new avenues.

"Damn," Joestar exclaimed.
