[@Penny] Flying around in the dark outskirts of Detroit, my character witnessed something that appeared to fall out of the sky. At first he thought that it probably was a random piece of debris, maybe something falling off an aircraft or even a small meteorite that had survived atmospheric entry. He tracked it down to the crash site and found the thing apparently quite intact, but also far different from anything he had expected. He picked up the thing and fumbled around with it during inspection -- only to encounter that sudden moment after which he found himself a few yards away from his original position, the thing still in his hands. However not [i]everything[/i] had been moved... In fact parts of his clothing had been ripped apart cleanly with one half resting on the ground where he had been and the other half being where he was now. The same held true for minor parts of his skin, leading to substantial bleeding and pain.

Now all he could do was speculate that this object apparently was some kind of portable teleporter. The problem: Either that thing is experiencing a very major malfunction, it is some kind of early prototype or it simply is not designed to teleport gargoyles. What he pretty much ruled out however was user error: He would have been the second one within minutes to handle it wrongly. What might have happened to the poor fellow causing it to appear in the midst of air, but without him ?

Anyway. Curiosity won and he carried the thing home in a bag very carefully. There it still is, unused and untold. Whoever has designed it might have a massive interest in getting it back and going public with information about a device that is a thief's or assassin's dream has never been a good idea in the first place. Also his reputation can be considered damaged already. Of course just dumping it into the next trashcan would have been way easier...
