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]]?

The telepad console has 4 settings:
The telepad console has 4 variables that can be set:
*Bearing (measured in degrees, can be changed from 0 to 360)
*'''Bearing''' (measured in degrees, can have a value from 0 to 360)
*Elevation (measured in degrees, can be changed from 0 to 90)
*'''Elevation''' (measured in degrees, can have a value from 0 to 90)
*Power (measured in integer units, can be changed from 5 to 100 provided you have enough [[Bluespace Crystal|Bluespace Crystals]] at hand, from 5 to 20 by default)
*'''Power''' (measured in integer units, can have a value from 5 to 100 provided you have enough [[Bluespace Crystal|Bluespace Crystals]] on hand, power levels from 5 to 25 are available by default)
*Sector (defines the z-level which we are beaming to or from, default is 1, corresponding to the main station z-level).
*'''Sector''' (defines the z-level which will be teleported to/from, default is 1, corresponding to the main station z-level).
 
Together, these 4 settings define the coordinates whatever or whoever is on the telepad will find themselves after you push the Send button on the console via the following equation:
