GIVE YOUR PAIN A PSEUDONYM
The SCATHE (Self Contained Arca Trochia Hub Engine)- a device actuating the Spire by draining thought energy from favored conscripts (individuals possessing unusually fertile minds).
In electrical terms, the favored conscripts act as batteries, Arca Trochia provides the circuit, and the SCATHE is the transformer. When activated, the SCATHE feeds power to the Spire; a mobile wormhole operating through a cascade of microscopic black holes.
The Spire facilitates instantaneous travel between Earth and Halteres; a planet over 250 million light years away.
The SCATHE is basically a little of this…
A shitload of this…
And the exact opposite of this…
Anyway, the SCATHE makes an appearance in Opposable. Then someone decided to go all MST3K with the concept, calling it something different every time it’s mentioned.
I compiled all the pseudonyms, split them into three categories, and a came up with a little worksheet. Now you can give your SCATHE a name. Do it before it’s too late. It’s fun!
I got Sarcophagus of Amaranthine Wretchedness.

Until next time, don’t bother me. I’m SCATHE-ing.
