It is based off of Light technology, making it smaller than one would expect for a device which can do so many different things. As with human tools like a hammer, Aots come in various sizes but are almost always a long rectangular box shape. text/html 2016-04-28T23:13:30+0000 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) http://ericpauker.net/idu/doku.php?id=technology:blocking_field&rev=1461885210&do=diff Blocking Field Alpha One designed the first blocking field generator shortly after the Lights had invented their light circuitry.

Switched to use SatNet in the mid twenty first century. Cell Phone By the late twenty first century, cell phones had undergone some major technological changes. One was the switch to using the Internet, then SatNet as the communications medium instead of cell towers. Another was circuitry which uses one hundredth the power of original cell phones.

If they didn't, traveling across the galaxy would take millions of years instead of five months. When they first discovered the compressed space, they had no estimate how far they had traveled in it, hoping to be near the spot they wanted to be in normal space. many of them didn't like such an inefficient way of travel, so they dev… text/html 2016-04-28T23:13:30+0000 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) http://ericpauker.net/idu/doku.php?id=technology:environmental_exploration_suit&rev=1461885210&do=diff Shape: Humanoid.

They were used to merge Light minds with Core, the artificial mind they created to predict what they were intended to do as a species. The Lights device left the original mind intact, connecting various components directly to Core. The end result was Core becoming a larger more powerful intelligence, but with multiple personalities operating at the same time. text/html 2016-04-28T23:13:30+0000 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) http://ericpauker.net/idu/doku.php?id=technology:satnet&rev=1461885210&do=diff First Appeared: Mid 21st century Individual Satellite Radius: 30 centimeters.

The towers act as a storage facility for their technology, while the pillars act as transmitters for everything from communications devices to fields created by the towers. Unlike the waypoints the towers are constructed from normal matter.

On planets which are a centralized research area, or hub for the Lights, the waypoints will be gigantic, having space to house tens of thousands of life forms as well as computing power to run the most complex research.
