More Interocitor Models & The Stellar Scope For Your Old School Space Opera

Incorporating greater advances than hitherto known in the field of electronicsThe Mantra For Unit #16

 Created by Unit # 16 the Interocitor has been the main stay of the Galactic community since 1952 subjective Earth Time.The Interocitor is an alien communications device with unusual and strange properties.

The Type V adds +2  to all attempts  involving quantum telecommunication across time and space

 The Type V may also: 

• Act as a Telecommunications device 
• The device can act as a space craft  autopilot while the crew is within hypersleep 
• Surveillance and security controller giving the operator the psionic abilities of Clairvoyance & Clairaudience across a 2 par sec area or 22 light years. There are possibly interference from Mental Barriers & the like.
• Directed energy weapon doing 1d4 points of damage to anything within a 60 foot radius of the device. The beam may be directed by another interocitor on the same frequency.
  The Interrocitor has a psionic strength of 15.

 

 According to Wiki : 

"The term interocitor itself, rather than referring to a specific device, likely refers to a general class of devices that share a common set of operating principles (similar to the term computer). This is inferred from the fact an interocitor is observed or described in many different roles:

• Telecommunications device
• Aircraft autopilot
• Surveillance and security controller
• Directed energy weapon

In the film, advanced physicist Cal Meacham first becomes aware of an interocitor when a book arrives at his lab titled Electronic Service, Unit #16. Inside is contained a bill of materials for the interocitor, describing it as, "incorporating greater advances than hitherto known in the field of electronics". From the specifications, Meacham opines, "There's no limit to what it could do. Laying a four-lane highway at the rate of a mile a minute would be a cinch."

Of the 2486 components comprising an interocitor, only three are mentioned by name in the film:

• Bead condenser (model #: AB-619)
• Cathermin tube with inindium complex of +4
• Intensifier disk

The instructions accompanying the components also caution that no interocitor part can be replaced, and to bear this in mind while assembling.

Once assembled and powered, Meacham places the intensifier disk into the right-hand control and rotates it 18 degrees counter-clockwise. Upon doing so, the telecommunication function of the interocitor is activated, and Meacham establishes contact with Exeter, the party responsible for sending him the device.

During their conversation, Meacham's lab assistant, Joe Wilson attempts to photograph the device, but is informed by Exeter that "Your camera will pick up nothing but black fog. Images on the interocitor don't register on film." " 

                                   We'll be talking about the the model V21 Model or Type V

 The Stellar Scope Model 234 
This incredible device allows one's mind to roam the universe  & beyond in a bizarre psionic dance of hyper dimensional viewing allowing one to peer into realms beyond human reckoning.
 The stellar scope is of Metaluna manufacture & has been in use for over 2000 Earth years.
The user gains :
Clairvoyance
Clairaudience
Dimensional Projection
All abilities function within a 100 light years of the space craft.
A navigator may direct the mind of the pilot controlling the device as they work in tandum to guide the craft using a variation of the Interrocitor 

 

The Astral Transmitigation Galactic Map
The ATGM is allows one to peer into the void between the stars & with a successful wisdom roll to view any point within the local space time continuum allowing one to know conditions, hazards, star density, & up to the second interstellar traffic conditions. The navigator may take no other actions during this time when using the ATGM.
