Goojf
A goojf (pronounced “goof”, stands for “get out of jail free”) is a single-use, short-range teleportation device.
Devices like this are extremely rare; they may be no more than rumours and scams.
Mechanics & Inner Workings
This small bio-organic device uses psionic technology to teleport the bearer to a preset destination up to 500 m away. There is a “button” on one side of the device. Pressing the button briefly sets the destination to the current location. Pressing the button and holding it for a couple of seconds causes the bearer to be teleported to the preset location, if it’s within 500 m, along with their clothes and up to 10 kg of gear. The user’s momentum is conserved. After teleportation, the device is painfully hot and cannot be used again.
A goojf does not appear as a technological device on most scanners. It can be implanted subdermally (but not so deep that the button can’t be pressed) which makes it very difficult to find.
History
Proposition Joe offered to sell a goojf to Orion Vexar, to help Orion free his sister. Suspecting it to be a scam, Orion did not purchase the device.
