-At round start, the telepad will be calibrated. That means the following: the Bearing setting will be offset to a random value between -10 and 10 degrees, and the Power setting will be offset randomly from -4 to 0. At this point, there are somewhere between 30 and 40 uses before it will have to be re-calibrated. Every time the crystals are re-calibrated, the remaining uses until calibration is needed again will be a random number between 30 and 40. When recalibrating, the bearing and power offsets will be re-rolled. These values do not stack, so they will always be within these ranges. To find out these offsets, you will need those little gizmos called [[GPS]]. The round starts with a number of them on the table in the [[Telescience Lab]]. Grab two, place one on the telepad and the other in your pocket.
+Not so fast. It would be way too easy to use telescience if the equations were that simple! To compensate, Nanotrasen has added some features to make telescience more inacurate! Basically, there are little "offsets" that get added to the values you input. For now, we're just going to deal with two offsets, because that is how the teleporter currently is. Here they are:
+*The Power Offset. This is a number x such that -4 ≤ x ≤ 0. This will be added to the power that you input for the teleporter to use.
+*The Bearing Offset. This is a number x such that -10 ≤ x ≤ 0. This will be added to the bearing that you input for the teleporter to use.
+So, in reality, here are the real equations we will be using with telescience:
+*[[File:Telescience real destinationX equation.png]]
+*[[File:Telescience real destinationY equation.png]]
+and
+*[[File:Telescience real distance equation.png]]
+To make things even more fun, every 20-40 uses the teleporter will have to be "recalibrated," which randomly creates the offsets again!
+===Ugh. Fine. Just tell me what the hell I need to do!===
+My pleasure. Basically, we're going to substitute known values into the equations above and solve for the offsets. It's really not that hard. Here's what we're gonna do:
+. Grab a GPS and teleport it to get a DestinationX and a DestinationY value, plus a Distance value.
+. Plug said values into the equations above
+. Plug the power, elevation, and bearing you teleported the GPS with into the equations above
+. Solve for the offsets
