- Optical Lasers in fingertips
Secure Communications: No matter where you are you need to talk to more than one person at once. While replicating the Quantum Entanglement of the photons is not possible on a larger scale the Starlight contains the stripped-down elements of a Hermes Communications system, allowing the user a secure means of contacting other people.
Can project an image onto any surface: a few small stygium crystals built into the implant create an optical distortion field. The technology for this is based in the same stygium cloaking devices which were so common throughout the galaxy, The small stygium crystals create an optical distortion field that will bend the light emitted by the array through 90 degrees, effectively allowing for a screen to be created anywhere without the need for a bulky holographic emitter.
Can turn any solid surface into a speaker or microphone: The implant contains small repulsor’s in the implants of the user's hand. When pressed against a surface these repulsors can cause it to vibrate, turning the entire surface into a speaker. The implant also contains optical lasers in the user's fingertips which when pressed against a surface can detect vibrations in it, running them through an algorithm to extract the vibrations caused by sound waves. In this way, any surface can be converted into a microphone, and/or speaker by just touching it.
A little piece of heaven: Two specks of light, single photons, were caught just after they’d been emitted from the same source, their quantum states irrevocably linked together. The photons were then placed into an implant capable of reading and adjusting the photons, allowing the transmission of data back and forth down the connection in a link that was unjammable or hackable.
WEAKNESS
No combat ability: The Starlight is a pure communications device, it has absolutely no combat ability or enhancements.
Must touch: In order to use the starlight you need to be able to touch a surface or your face if this isn’t possible the starlight can’t be used. This makes using the implant while wearing armor less than a satisfactory idea since all it can do is possible convert your entire suit of armor into a speaker or microphone.
Tap tap: Certain surfaces are better conductors than others, glass or brittle metals will conduct sound better, while plastics and fabrics tend to absorb the sound better, making it harder for the Starlight to detect and produce sounds.
DESCRIPTIONApproached by his cousin with a request, a gift she could give to Jyoti, John was happy to help his favorite cousin, the two of them spending entire nights in the workshop with mountains of pizza as they stretched the limits of their knowledge of science to the very edge. They combined both of their expertise to make sure that this gift was something special.
At its core, the Starlight is a communications system allowing Allyson and Jyoti to remain connected with one another, no matter where they were. To ensure that the two women he’d come to care about could do this he reached into the depths of quantum physics, actually capturing two specks of light, the starlight the system was named after. The two photons were linked down at a subatomic level, an unbreakable bond, much like that shared by Allyson and Jyoti, two sparks of light, forever linked to shine no matter how dark the night. Although the data flow between the entangled photons was limited the link was unbreakable, no jamming or countermeasure could ever break or distort it, or pull the two of them apart.
