Description[]
The "Anachron" Device, as it is affectionately called by Charis (and later Douglas), derives its name from the literary device "anachronism".
According to dictionary.com an anachronism is
- Something located at a time when it could not have existed or occurred
- An artifact that belongs to another time
- A person who seems to be displaced in time; who belongs to another age
The Anachron began life as an ordinary Society Plothole Generator. However, after much customization, it no longer closely resembles a ray gun. It now takes the shape of a wristwatch with retractable metal pieces along its sides. These pieces are each Bookmarks on a miniature spring-loaded hinge.
The Anachron device utilizes Bookmarks attached to a target to estimate a probable spawn point for teleporting - alternatively, faster-than-human - Stues and Sues, such as those that were found in the Jumper fandom during the device's beta testing. The device has proved successful at its function; however, a current side effect shrinks any Agent that uses it.
It is a part of a much bigger gadget - the Plot Armour.
