Variants

 * Sonic emitter - opera singer
 * Sonic emitter - revelation
 * Sonic emitter - robo-scorpion
 * Sonic emitter - tarantula

Locations

 * The holodisk containing this upgrade is found in the X-8 Research Center Residential Test facility, in same room as Dr. Borous's dog, Gabe.

Bugs

 * The knockback effect is a ripped and modified version of the script that bighorners use in their melee attack. The repurposing of the script broke it in its entirety for the bighorners, though it does work for the sonic emitter.
 * Lonesome Road includes a new bighorner script to fix this.
 * Sometimes, after entering the testing area and killing Gabe, leaving while the Think Tanks are still talking, then returning to the testing area and acquiring the Gabriel's Bark holotape, even though the holotape was picked it up, it is missing from inventory.
 * In some playthroughs, Audio Sample - Gabriel's Bark will not spawn in any of the digging spots and there is no way to get the holotape to re-spawn through a previous reload or otherwise.
