Transition

The mechanism by which Teslans move between parallel universes. As it is powered by combustion (in the Daunist sense of the word), Transition is strictly opposed by the Daunists. The Teslans themselves act more as a religious organization than anything else at this point, so the conflict is an apt one.

Technological History of Transition
It all began with a spark. And then the power grid for much of the metropolitan area went down. The Teslan scientists responsible shrugged haplessly through the pitch blackness to each other in the now-smoke-filled clean room in which they tinkered. Unbeknownst to all but one of them, a human fingernail had just made an instantaneous journey to another universe, where it went unnoticed by all but the microfauna.

Transition Training
Comparable to astronaut training designed by Timothy Leary.
