This is an expansion for my Type 70 TTC. You must have a Type 70 to use it.
The British Automobile Association (AA) began making these boxes around 1912, but the popular and long-sustained cross-gable roof design (like this form) was first developed in 1927. Originally the boxes were known as sentry boxes and provided shelter from the elements for their patrolmen who rode motorcycles with a sidecar attached.
When you joined the AA you got a key that fitted the lock in any of the telephone boxes. If your car broke down, you walked or hitched a ride to the nearest box, opened it up and called the AA for help. If it was raining or cold, you could stay out of the elements until help arrived.
The boxes were each individually numbered, about 1,000 in all at the height of the system's popularity, even if you did not know exactly where you were, you could say, "I'm calling from Box Number 472" and a patrolman would be dispatched to assist.
As the influx of mobile phones rendered the old AA roadside emergency boxes obsolete, most have completely disappeared due to neglect and a few have been declared listed buildings and usually restored by local volunteers for there has been no official restoration programme in operation at any time. At the last count there are around 12 to 15 boxes left in the UK in varying states of repair.
SETUP
Installation is a breeze with the automated installer orb. Just rez the orb next to your Type 70, click on it, and in a few moments you're ready to go.
WHAT IS THE TTC?
The TTC (Time Travel Capsule) is a combination flying vehicle, transporter and portable skybox. You can fly it like a normal vehicle by sitting inside and saying "start", or click on its sides and use the menu to pilot. Once you reach your destination, another press of a button rezzes a console room, building platform, or both!
You can also change its shape, size, color and texture from a simple menu system, or use more advanced verbal commands for fine-tuning your unique look.
While I cannot claim time travel, this TTC will take you and your friends anywhere within the sim in grand style. All accompanied by authentic looks and sound effects.
The TTC automatically detects compatible transporter systems and TTC landing pads whenever you enter a new region. If you like, you can also use a notecard to store favorite locations in sims you may not be allowed to leave permanent landing pads. In addition to this, there is a WARP menu that lets you quickly move up, down, north, south, east or west in small increments. You can also travel randomly, just like the Doctor when he installed the randomization circuit to foil the Black Guardian in the excellent "Key to Time" season.
Other features include automated landing, defense circuitry, auto-return, custom destinations, homing beacon, landing platform, console room, two modes of travel and an option to let guests or fellow group-mates fly her.
And now, if you own emDash, you can use your TTC as a portal and poofer, traveling anywhere on the grid!
