I would be the guy who says, "Open-source teleporters only."

I ain't risking having myself modified surreptitiously. 😑

    But if they were open source they'd have the worst name possibly, and possibly an equally awful UI.

    I guess we can be glad that "the GIMP" is taken so nobody will reuse that for a future FOSSeporter

    • Bob's Alternate Teleport Engine - A reimplementation of the standard protocol.
    • Ben's Unified Teleporter Template Placed Largely Under Ground - You do need to dig a big hole, but the result is very neat, with just the teleport pad and controls showing.
    • Complex Linear Indoor Teleporter - Works like a corridor, letting you just walk from one building to another.

    For number 2 there's a derivative which can also vibrate, which is said to make the process much more pleasant. Oh and it's entirely built out of rust, nobody really knows why though.

    The faster you walk into number three, the sooner you reach the destination.
    But you need to have the endurance to make it to the end.
