Telepads

The telepads are one of the primary methods of tansportation in the city of Anduruna. They are built on the Sabbaton towers, there is one telepad for every district. All day, the telepad jumps from the Towers to the district and back again, transporting dreamkeepers.

The way they operate is quite ingenious. It all starts with jumpers (archituethus occipitus)- hovering creatures with an interesting ability to teleport in order to escape predators. Jumpers have a natural reaction to stress that zaps them instantly to a separate location. The teleportation brings along any living material connected to the creature, so no body parts get left behind in the process. The jumpers are (with much difficulty) captured for use with the telepads.

The telepads themselves are created from flo-wood. This means that the pads are living organic material. The jumpers are taken up and placed in a special case, right on the top of the telepad, and connecting to the flo-wood structure. Their case is connected to a lense, which focuses specifically on a receiving platform, where the telepad is meant to go. (Each receiving platform has a black and white disc on the front to help in making sure the focus is very sharp and accurate). With the lense accurately focusing the jumper's perceptions to that one destination, a mild shock is run through it's case. It teleports, and brings with it all the living material of the flo-wood telepad-and all the living dreamkeepers in contact with the flo-wood. So the telepad arrives at a distant platform, where a new jumper is placed into the case. Jumpers must be rested for at least a day after every telepad jump, because of the strain of bringing so much mass along for the ride with them.
