Saunt Bucker's Basket

A “Saunt Bucker’s Basket” is an eponymous term for a practical signal‑shielding enclosure named for Saunt Bucker. It consists of conductive wire mesh arranged around a space and bonded to ground so that wireless signals cannot pass into or out of the enclosed area.

During a messal, avout created an ad hoc basket by lining the walls and floor with metal fencing and tying it to ground, which cut off remote monitoring. A senior Lorite recognized the arrangement by this name and described its function as electrical shielding. A visiting outsider remarked that, in his world, the same setup is called a “Faraday cage,” confirming the intent to block radio‑type transmissions.

Use and effects: - Provides “informational shielding” for private discussion or containment when surveillance is suspected. - Prevents body transmitters, speakers, and other wireless links from communicating across the boundary. - Can be deployed in multiple small enclosures when isolating individuals is desirable (e.g., a separate basket in a pantry).

Construction notes: - Readily assembled from animal‑husbandry wire mesh or similar conductive material available extramuros. - Effectiveness depends on continuous mesh coverage and a solid electrical connection to ground.
