Teleporter: Difference between revisions

The teleporter devices used by the Forerunners vary in size and shape; the smallest ones allow transit of one person at a time, while larger pads can translocate many individuals at once. Teleporters typically consist of a vertical slipspace field suspended between two emitters; one above the field and the other below it. The translocation pads on [[Onyx]] were four meters wide, [[List of "seven" references in the Halo series|seven]]-sided flat surfaces. When looking at the surface, one's gaze would appear to slide deeper into it, as if they were looking at something infinitely deep, or complete nothingness.<ref name="goo311"/> The teleporters leading to the [[Apex Site]] on [[Shield 0459]] enveloped an individual in a slipspace field by means of a ring that extended upward from the platform when the device was activated. The Apex's teleporter also doubled as a [[containment field device]].<ref>'''[[Halo Wars]]''', campaign level, ''[[Beachhead (Halo Wars level)|Beachhead]]''</ref><ref>'''Halo Wars''', campaign level, ''[[Reactor (level)|Reactor]]''</ref> Like translocation in general, passage through teleporters typically causes feelings of nausea on humans, due to the uncertainty errors involved.<ref>'''Halo: Ghosts of Onyx''', ''page 316''</ref> Other slipspace fields, such as those generated by [[slipspace field pod]]s, block incoming translocation if placed on a pad. However, they can nonetheless be transported by teleporters; when a translocation pad is activated, any compressed slipstream fields on it are caught in the local spatial distortion.<ref>'''Halo: Ghosts of Onyx''', ''page 344''</ref>
