Changes: Project Indigo

Revision as of 19:25, 27 May 2019

Project Indigo was UNIT's first experimental teleportation device developed in 2009. It was reverse-engineered from Sontaran technology which was left behind following their failed invasion of Earth in that year.

The first person to (successfully) field-test the prototype was Martha Jones during the Dalek invasion later in 2009. Prior to this, Jack Harkness warned Martha against using it given its experimental nature. He told Gwen Cooper and Ianto Jones it had no coordinates or stabilisation. As the device teleported her to her mother's house, "the place [she] most wanted to be", it suggested the integration of a neural interface device for determining destination in order to make the technology man-portable. (TV: The Stolen Earth) Martha later used the device again, to teleport herself to the vicinity of the Osterhagen base in Germany, where it was discarded by the door of the detonation control chamber. (TV: Journey's End)

-'''Project Indigo''' was [[Earth]]'s first experimental [[teleport]]ation device, which was reverse-engineered from the [[Sontaran]] [[teleport pod]]. The first person to test the prototype was [[Martha Jones]]. However, [[Jack Harkness]] highly disapproved of the device, saying that it hadn't been tested. Despite this, the device worked and teleported her to her [[Francine Jones|mother's]] house.

-Later Jack asks Martha what the two numbers that are oscillating are (they are 4 and 9). Jack then goes on to say that the was all he needed to get his [[Time Agency wrist strap|wrist teleporter]] to work, so one can speculate that Project Indigo was the prototype for the wrist teleporter that the [[Time Agency]] used. ([[DW]]: ''[[The Stolen Earth]]'')
-Martha later used the device again to teleport herself to near a UNIT base in [[Germany]].  The Daleks transmatted her to the [[Crucible]] after she nearly activated the [[Osterhagen key]]. ([[DW]]: ''[[Journey's End]]'')
-== Possible Future ==
-It could be speculated that Project Indigo led the way for the the transmat system developed and used at the end of the 21st century and seen in [[DW]]: ''[[The Seeds of Death]]''.
