Portal Shear

== CACG Asset File ==
The Voidtech Portal Shear, or just the Portal Shear for short, is a prototype portal generation device invented by Dr. Void. Its design is primarily based off of an ancient portal generator recovered during the EREBUS-I mission, as well as external consultations with Dr. Lambert. Like its ancient counterpart, it is a "shear" type generator. Meaning that it utilizes a specially energized blade to 'cut' open wormholes.
Unlike its ancient counterpart, the Portal Shear was built from the ground up for utility and reliability, with most of its similarities being only in appearance and mode of action. With that said, the Portal Shear is vaguely pistol sized and shaped, composed of - at its barest - a specialized alloy blade, Arne-Jacobsen reactor,An energy source superior in size and output to nearly all previous forms of energy, invented by Dr. Void and Item A-018 ("The Entropy Cannon"). Based on the research of famous scientists Dr. Lewis Jacobsen and Dr. Maximo Arne. exotic matter containment vessel, and grip and trigger mechanism for engaging the blade's energization. Extra components include a touchscreen display for selecting target destinations and accessing diagnostics, FORAThe Field Operations Resource Archive, an archive of information essential for operations and survival in the field. Includes information ranging from known universes and their laws of physics to the exact elemental content of local mineral deposits. uplink for up-to-date information on destination universes, and a robust remote tracking system in case of loss or theft.
Despite utilizing the best technology the CACG has to offer, the Portal Shear is still somewhat limited. Unlike the devices it is based on, it utilizes a small amount of exotic matter each time it creates a portal. A full tank of exotics can tear open approximately 50 portals before needing to be refilled. Alongside exotic matter, it takes a large amount of energy to keep the Shear energized, scaling up exponentially as time activated increases.
