Tekikian Datapad

Born from the need to manage the collections of books and records that the Depth Phantoms accumulated through the time.

The Datapad Gen.1 was born before the Tekika tribes themselves. Designed as a straightforward device, Gen.1 provided a storage for all kinds of information including ancient texts, Lumara experimentation records (The Proph was using Gen.1 Datapad), and field notes. It also supports basic audio playback and simple drawing features. Main unique aspect of Gen.1 Datapad was the RAID capability, letting multiple Gen.1 units connect and sync data at just 1 device.

Depth Phantoms engineered the Gen.2 Datapad. By now, they created a massive server which could hold all their information in a single, centralized source deep underground. With the Gen.2 acting as a secure terminal its production became far less expensive due to its reduced internal storage requirements, though its access to vast amounts of knowledge expanded exponentially.

Gen.3 Datapad was created because of growing concerns around information security. By this point, the Tekika had implemented biometric security and communication encryption similar to those in their earpieces. This allowed Gen.3 Datapads to secure sensitive data using biometrics like PH levels and DNA sampling, keeping access limited to verified users. This extra layer of encryption kept all the data safe.

The Gen.4 Datapad was the final product of centuries of Depth Phantoms innovation, expanding on the advancements of previous generations. This generation featured standard sockets for interfacing with other devices, making it adaptable for use with retranslators, lab stations, and any other standartized systems. It was also equipped with health-monitoring functions that connected Tekika allies in the field, providing real-time updates on their physical states. The Gen.4 included a self-destruct mechanism, which could be activated directly by the user or triggered if they became incapacitated, ensuring sensitive information remained out of enemy hands. With all these capabilities, the Gen.4 was a critical tool, uniting the Tekika tribes and empowering them with secure, advanced knowledge.
