B: You use it to relocate your base (or whatever else) to its final destination. Once. Then it becomes useless.
Ok, maybe you can recover the cool buttons or display or other electronic and mechanic components, but that's it.
According to the manual a single use device is much cheaper.
FTH: Doesn't sound like the best possible news.
My obvious question is:
Did you maybe notice more devices like this one?
B: No.
But we haven't been everywhere yet.
FTH: Does the manual which you found tell anything about what it is made of or how it works?
B: Didn't notice anything like this.
FTH: If you don't find another one, there is still no plan.
B: Maybe it can be inserted by the environment manipulator?
FTH: About this. I didn't have the chance to ask last time.
What's this environment manipulation stuff about?
B: One of the computers we found here.
It had a real time preview of the road to nowhere.
We could scroll the view, we found the house. There was your car.
FTH: !
B: But just moving the view was only one of the possible "action modes". Another one was "insert".
In this mode you select the object from a long list of objects.
Then click somewhere and there it is.
That's how we imported the telephone.
