Of malfunctioning portals, parks and dragons [Open]

[curiousredsoul]

Taking some time from other projects, Celena had once more brought down her Paired Gate device down to the park in an attempt to work on a number of issues of the operation of the device while in the Bleed. After all if a stable gate could be established, even for short periods of time, it could make for quick travel about the city and about the ship in general.

Thus in her usual draconic form she had set herself before the primary end of the gate device in the middle of a large clearing in the park, with the secondary portion of the device not a hundred feet away. After some time in pondering the problem she had decided to take a break from her work. Locking the device down she stretched herself out and padded away to wander the park for a short while before taking off to stretch her wings. Keeping her general flight path around the vicinity of the park itself.

[OOC: Feel free to run into her at any point, whether while she's working on the device, wandering the park or even flying around overhead!]

"Rapid transport? You mean faster than those tube things?" That would be amazing, now that Fletcher thought about it. He tilted his head. "How does it work, though? I mean, what does it do to transport people?"

[curiousredsoul]

"Indeed, as fast as stepping from one place and stepping out at another, something that would be especially useful where the transport tubes don't reach," Like the city around them for instance, lifting a paw and turning it palm up, she had two small illusions form, miniature versions of the respective parts of the design, "By utilizing linked gates, or portals if you would, which allow one to step through one portal and step out of the other respective portal," To demonstrate, she had the illusions of the gate system form their respective portals and had a generic little glowing person step through one and out the other.

"It has been proven to work already in real space, it is just a matter of whether it can be properly stabilized for use while in transit,"

[greennotgold]

"Oh! You mean like the things GLaDOS has people use when she's testing them." That could be very, very useful.

"How does it work? And why wouldn't it work in the... in the bleed?"

[curiousredsoul]

"From what I have heard, quite like those indeed, though the portals are restricted to within the devices themselves," She dipped her head at that, they could be quite useful indeed within the ship and even if she didn't manage to stabilize them within the bleed, they had been proven in real space and could prove quite useful in the field.

"The gateway used by this device is formed through a link between the gate crystals of this side of the device and the secondary, portable section. By synchronizing the energies of both sets of crystals a gateway can be formed through space to the linked set. The Bleed however disrupts the link to varying degrees,"

[greennotgold]

Synchronizing the energies? Not that that made sense to Fletcher; he'd have to see if he could find some books on that.

"Oh, I see..." Kind of, anyway. "Sorry. I wish I knew more about that kind of science..."

[curiousredsoul]

"Don't worry yourself about it, the particular technology and methods behind this device are a combination of my own people's technology and knowledge of energy manipulation," She replied easily and cheerfully enough.
