"Your cabin sits directly above an unmapped subterranean fault line," Dr. Aris explained rapidly, her breath clouding in the air. "For weeks, my sensors have picked up ultra-low-frequency infrasound rumblings deep beneath this ridge—vibrations humans can't naturally hear." Dr. Aris explained.

I set up these microphones to capture your cabin's ambient sounds so my computer software could remove them from the total audio mix."  Evelyn stared at her, the pieces finally clicking together. "You were filtering out the sounds from my house to hear the earth underneath me?" "Yes," Dr. Aris said grimly. "And what I found tonight is urgent."
