Mohinder had set the danger-shop to look like a school laboratory. It was easier to program in the electronic gadgets that scattered the desks and meant he hadn't had to attack any passing coconuts.

"Audio surveillance," he told the class. "There are restrictions on the use of this in the legal system - warrents for example. But what can we do with a recording like this?" Mohinder held up a dictaphone and thumbed it on, his recorded voice overlapping with a parrot until the play terminated with a clatter and an offended squark.

"Moving away from the parrot-related," Mohinder continued, "Distortions can be removed from the tape; accent, dialects or even individual voices identified. Some techniques claim to identify the emontional state of the speaker." Quickly he summarised recording and simple analysis, before picking up the device on his desk.

"I'd like you to record your own speaking voice, try altering it and compare the results. You could change your pitch, speed, accent, or even language and there are always sound effects."

Where you could take notes, or just tape it.

This week wasn't much of anything new to Katchoo, who'd learned a lot about surveillance equipment and how to foil it while working for Darcy; there were, after all, certain things you had to know how to do to get away with long-term undercover assignments. She also knew a lot of ways to get around said legal restrictions, not that it would be a good idea to bring any of them up in this class.

The parrot on the recording kind of amused her, though.
