Space-Time Manipulator

The Space-Time Manipulator, also known as the STM, was a machine that could drag objects from other times and places.

Abilities
It had no fixed entry point, meaning specific locations were difficult to get on fix on. (K9TV: The Bounty Hunter) With all the instruments sent to zero, an object would be transported to the Korven ship it came from, or somewhere outside it, as the ship is it's default location for transportation. (K9TV: Angel of the North)

History
A Korven spacecraft carrying a Manipulator crashed in the frozen wastelands of Canada. (K9TV: Angel of the North) By 2050 the Manipulator was captured by the Department and installed into Alistair Gryffen's house. Gryffen intended to use it to bring back his lost family, but Starkey interfered with it, which brought four Jixen and K-9 to Earth. (K9TV: Regeneration)

When Jorjie suggested using the Manipulator to have adventures through time, Darius argued against it saying anything could come through. Immediately after, the Space-Time Manipulator sent a couple of rats out, frightening Darius, this later resulted in a problem in the house, as they could multiply every ten seconds. (K9TV: Liberation)

The The Korven later time traveled from 2618 using the Space-Time Manipulator to capture Professor Gryffen. (K9: The Korven)

The bounty hunter Ahab followed K-9 through the Space-Time Manipulator to track him down. Later when he captured him, he dragged him to the STM to take him back to the year 50000, subduing K-9 with his cool whip. However, Jorjie threw a cup of hot Tea at the lasso, the elevated tempurature canceling out the cold beam and catapulting Ahab into the STM. As the planets continually moved through space this meant that the Earth's location in 50000 wasn't the same location as in 2050, meaning that Ahab was lost in space (K9TV: The Bounty Hunter)

Gryffen's constant attempts to retrieve his family with The STM are later revealed to have taken their toll. Every time he gets within mere inches of retrieving them something goes wrong and he looses them all over again, and over time this begins to leave a mark, warping reality into the shapes of his wife and children. These ghostly impostors almost had Jorjie and Darius thrown into the vortex so they could trade places until K-9 and Starkey intervened, sending the beings back through instead. (K9TV: The Fall of the House of Gryffen)

An accident with the STM briefly sent Starkey, Jorjie and K-9 to the year 1963. (K9TV: The Cambridge Spy)

K-9's attempts to overcome his amnesia by hooking up to The Space-Time Manipulator was a huge mistake as he was struck down by an even larger dose of amnesia that left his mind totally blank. As the glitch consumed him he began to loose control, initiating his self-destruct program and firing upon Gryffen and Starkey. Luckily he managed to piece together the fragments and snap out of it curing his condition (K9TV: Mind Snap)

The STM was destroyed in a final confrontation with the Korven, sucking in the villainous aliens before exploding in a fiery blast. (K9TV: Eclipse of the Korven)
