Genies

Instantiates objects (often food) from energy. Expensive, energy-wise.

History

Look through the canon to see where these are mentioned and what you say about them (like you did with the Pad entry). The early Guidebook says that genies and Pads were forks off the Well Drive tech, so they have to have shown up after 2460-2472 (1 BA). Early genies were probably extremely clunky. Your notes also suggest a "Cervelle" associated with their development.

Technology

"As distance grows greater, Cervelle's equation shows that faults in wormhole production and power consumption grows."

Common objects may be represented by very, very large numbers of possible examples in the genie. For example, Alysha Forrest's search for chocolate chip cookies turned up 3,429 "basic" recipes.

Objects can be scanned to create a genie pattern. Scanning different examples of them multiple times can be used to create some variation in the result. Patterns that a person has created can be mailed to others.
