E: Da Rules

  • The teleportation can only be used to move you.

  • Your clothes and basic personal items (the things you take with you everytime you leave the house) will teleport with you, but nothing else.

    This has the possible downside of you being dissected for the benefit of science. One human life for the possibility of discovering the ability to teleport? The astronauts/cosmonauts on the ISS would know about you, but you’d never make the news.

      Scientists are not good at keeping secrets, particularly not of this level. Also, the ISS is remarkably public. It would be obvious they were hiding something, at the very least.

      Would I expect to spend some time “volunteering” in a research lab, more than likely. I doubt it would get to dissection level. The risk/cost would be low enough that I would take it.

        Yeah many of the transmissions to the space station are public. This would go viral before anyone “higher up” could have a chance to squash it.

          That’s also before accounting for the various ground scientists who would rapidly become aware through the private channels. Someone appearing on the ISS would leak beyond containment before anyone could think to cut phone communications, let alone implement it.

      “Hey some guy just showed up here and no one knows about it.”

      “Cool, lets put him out the airlock and see if he freezes like in that movie”

      Not too bad of a downside. I’d have myself dissected if it meant people I cared about would have a chance at figuring out teleportation.
