User:SOTO/Forum Archive/The Reference Desk/@comment-4139960-20130611213836/@comment-188432-20130612145733 I just realised I didn't really answer your question. No Love and War (novel) doesn't go down the same way as Love and War (audio story). If you're talking about the scene where Benny and Seven meet and she asks him about "This Old Heart of Mine" and then they bust into the observatory, in the novel it's apparently done with a Perigosto stick. But the thing is, it really is a sonic for all intents and purposes, even described as "a thin silver probe with a tiny sphere on top". And it's certainly not inconsistent with the spirit of the NAs that Seven has the sonic back. Well, I say "not inconsistent". I mean that it's not inconsistent given the fact that they apparently took no editorial stand one way or the other about how to handle the sonic. I think certainly by the time you're talking about Benny travelling with Seven, there's cause to believe that it's acceptable for the sonic to be back in action.
