Every round where you generate at least one unsubtle, you also get:

If (Offense ≥ 1)

The system's watching eyes focus their attention on you.

(+2 Unsubtle - possibly dependant on Offense used)

Otherwise

The system's watching eyes hone in on your disturbance.

(+1 Unsubtle)

Neither message triggers on a round where you crash the eyes.
