Seeing Stones

The seeing stones are semi-electronic slabs that can be found all around the Fissured Cosmos. They are placed by The Traveller so that it can record information about somewhere while it is gone. Though it should be noted that they are not remotely accessable by any means and any information from them must be collected physically.

The makeup of a seeing stone is an exterior of jasper of varying colors that encases and protects two opposing cameras (protected by optical quality quartz) that are connected to a memory bank. They are powered by an internal energy cell rather than a generator to prevent other beings from trying to steal the information. Because of this the memory banks are not encrypted by The Traveller which opens the possibility for a careful extraction of them to steal information or destroy it.

To retrieve the information or recharge them the Traveller simply either uses it's powers to carefully cut into the stone or just demolish it and replace it entirely. Generally it chooses the latter because it consumes less energy.
