Taking a break from painting one day, Beat'll pop into the Arcade with a gift for Elias. The fully finalized product of the Fourth Nerd Squads attempt to create a piece of equipment for Elias that he can use to contact Fourths and Fourths only, while keeping Fog out of the deal.
What he presents to the Boy God looks like a combination bone conductor headphone and throat microphone. It sits around the back of the neck, with one side curled around to press the microphone into the throat, and the other side curled up to press the receiver into the side of the head against the jaw bone. The position would be slightly in front of where the human ear would go. This side can be adjusted for those who no longer have eardrums in close proximity to the jaw bone, extended to reach up more towards the top of the skull for those with animal ears. The device is still rather bulky due to the 1950's technology offered to them, but with the technology Elias has taken from Beat's headphones, they're small enough to be able to be hidden by clothing and hair.
He will even demonstrate how it would sit, the strap along his neck hidden by his fur with the microphone resting against his throat, and the receiver side extended up more towards his squirrel ears. The device will peek through hair but considering some of the more Steampunk designs some might wear, it wouldn't even be worth noting.
He'll cheerfully say the credit should fully go towards Deon, Robotnik, Nos, and Marco. Him and Reira just cheered them on and made sure they ate, slept, and hydrated.

((an example of the throat mic part and an example of how the bone conduction phones might look. obviously they wont be this sleak, nor have the curve to sit over the ear.))
