Telescience is a single room at the south end of the Research department hallway.
*5 [[File:Global Positioning System.gif]] GPS (kinda useless. Good for R&D)
 
*5  Telescience Beacon
This area focuses on teleportation, both sending and receiving. It is equipped with a [[Telepad]], a secure room to teleport people and things in and out of, and several handheld [[GPS]] readers.

*1 [[File:Teleporter Control Console.gif]] Telepad Control Console
Telescience is imprecise, but potentially extremely useful. Try teleporting GPSs to see where they go, and then from there you can move objects or people back and forth from your lab. Like all science rooms, experimentation is key!

A word of warning. Telescience requires '''math'''. Of course, as a scientist, you have a good understanding of mathematical knowledge and projectile trajectory, [[Beyond the impossible|right]]?
Not yet. To set up you have to
 
# Open the Telepad's server panel with the screwdriver and load up it's buffer with the multitool.
 
# Load up the buffer into the Telepad Control Console with said Multitool.
===How to Rip a Hole in the Fabric of Space and Time Itself to [[Beyond the impossible|Perform Useful Duties]]===
Grab 2 handheld [[GPS]] tools. Put one on your belt and one on the telepad. Now, choose a [[Telepad Control Console]] you want to use (most likely this will be the one in the [[Telescience Lab]]) and click "Recalibrate".  
 
<strike>Now, you want to set the X and Y co-ordinates to 100 and 100 each. Now send that sucker! Every time the teleporter is recalibrated, the ''difference'' changes. This is the variable that determines how badly your teleporter is calibrated and how you can fuck about with maths to make it pin-point accurate! Open up your own personal GPS and take a look at where your test GPS landed.</strike>

}}


<strike>You'll notice it didn't ''quite'' land at 100 100, did it? This is because of the slight inaccuracies of the teleporter. However! Using the test GPS you just sent, you can calculate the difference, like so! All you have to do is '''subtract the console co-ordinates (100 100) from the test number.''' Whatever comes out is your difference. Here's an example:
That was easy wasn't it? Don't forget to close the Telepad!


# Test GPS Location: 93, 102
The nice image you see on the right is what you'll operate to finally rule space and time.
# 100 - 93 = +7
# 100 - 102 = -2
# '''Difference = +7, -2'''


Now, to overcome the inaccuracy of the teleporter, all you have to do is apply this difference to your desired co-ordinates. For example, if I wanted to get to 95 150, and I had a difference of +7 -2, I would set the console to send me to 102 148! This will in fact send me directly to my desired location, 95 150, as we have now accommodated for the inaccuracies!</strike> <font size="4">'''THIS IS NO LONGER HOW IT WORK!'''<font size="2">
Each beacon has a random identifier which you can rename through the computer to your liking or using a pen directly.
{{Item
The idea is to '''Send''' and '''Recieve''' to and from the beacon.
|bgcolor1 = #ccccee
The nice X and Y you see there are the cardinal points, duh, and the center is the beacon.
|bgcolor2 = #ddddff
|name = [[Telepad]]

Seems simple, right? Well, sadly, every ''30'' or ''40'' teleportations (roughly) the [[Telepad]] will '''fizzle'''. This means you need to start again from step one. Click recalibrate and find the difference, because that sucker just did the old switcharoo on you. Now it's '''miscalibrated''' and attempting to send anything through it would be an error of judgement at best! Usually this doesn't affect you, but it can happen at the worst of times, like when you need to recover the bomb, or bring back a teleported space explorer! Learn to recalibrate quickly, or you may end up in a heap of trouble.
If you send someting it will always get whatever is on top of the telepad into the beacon, considering cardinal points.
Say, you '''send''' a banana peel X: -3, you teleport it 3 tiles to the left of wherever the beacon is.
If you recieve something is will always land on top of the telepad.
Say, you '''recieve''' a prisoner that's 2 tiles on top of the beacon. You need X:0 Y:2. You get the idea


Leave handy beacons around the station, and GPS units at interesting locations in space, and you can easily find them again. It's worth putting something down in the [[Medbay]] so you can quickly send the wounded and the dead there.

Welcome to Telescience, the room where you teleport things/people/bombs you aren't supposed to have into places said things/people/bombs aren't supposed to be, or use it for legitimate purposes.

Not yet. To set up you have to

  1. Open the Telepad's server panel with the screwdriver and load up it's buffer with the multitool.
  2. Load up the buffer into the Telepad Control Console with said Multitool.

That was easy wasn't it? Don't forget to close the Telepad!

The nice image you see on the right is what you'll operate to finally rule space and time.

Each beacon has a random identifier which you can rename through the computer to your liking or using a pen directly. The idea is to Send and Recieve to and from the beacon. The nice X and Y you see there are the cardinal points, duh, and the center is the beacon.

If you send someting it will always get whatever is on top of the telepad into the beacon, considering cardinal points. Say, you send a banana peel X: -3, you teleport it 3 tiles to the left of wherever the beacon is. If you recieve something is will always land on top of the telepad. Say, you recieve a prisoner that's 2 tiles on top of the beacon. You need X:0 Y:2. You get the idea

Telescience_Consode
ugly.

Advanced Slightly Traitorious Telescience

  • Get a pAI. It can use the console and save you in a pinch. Plus is fun for the other player
  • Learn the station layout so you get that sweet locker in a few tries
  • The Advanced Telescience Beacon is better
  • The room has all the tools to move the machine and computer
  • Hire an assistant and turn him into an space explorer
  • Achieve an inhumane level of cooperation and give a beacon to a miner, build ORM in the lab and you are everyone's best friend.
