This is a recreation of the Vortex Manipulator (VM), a personal transport device used by Jack Hartness of the Time Agency. It was featured in the Doctor Who episode Utopia, among others. The Vortex Manipulator acts as a personal transporter, allowing you to visit any public Novatech transporter or Hands of Omega TARDIS landing pad around the grid without having to search for a transporter.
To use this device, you must first wear the Vortex Manipulator. It attaches to your left wrist so that it won't conflict with Hands of Omega's right-handed version.
When you're ready to travel, either touch the manipulator, type "/11 vm" in chat, or wear the included gesture and press Ctrl-V.
Please note that this device uses mapless travel. For optimal use, be sure to agree to permissions the first time you wear it. Should you decline or forget, a map will be presented, and the device will request permissions the next time you attach it or login.
As with most Novatech products, there are several chat commands in addition to the menu:
* To search for specific destinations, say /11 vm <whatever> (i.e., "/11 vm tardis")
* To change the category filter, say /11 filter <word> (i.e., /11 filter shops)
To clear the filter, say /11 filter off
* To channel the channel, say "/11 channel ##" Should you forget, the VM will tell you when attached or reset.
- Grid-wide, wearable transporter
- Mapless travel
- Press Ctrl-V, pick a destination and you're there!
