-->'''Sawtooth:''' No alarms. Like the wind. I'm a subtle typhoon of stealthiness. Probably helps that the power is still out.

* In ''Webcomic/{{Recursion}}'', Jade finally manages to get her stolen gauntlet-phaser to boot up while she's hiding from from some security drones. It boots up all right; right into a cheery holographic welcome message and an offer to register the unit with the manufacturer.
