General Information
- The computer/network on an individual ship is called the grid.
- The grid may be accessed in many ways, including through a terminal, via a personal tablet, or by voice command.
- Individual grids are connected through a system like the Internet known as the lattice. As noted in the Economics and Currency section, using the lattice entails many microtransactions, paid in fractions of a mark.
- Lattice advertisements are widespread and may be narrowly targeted. Viewing advertisements provides partial recompense for lattice use.
- Portable devices called lokwors (diminutive lokkis) are able to communicate with each other without using the lattice. Their signal can be detected by people who are not part of the conversation, however.
The Wasp's Resources
The Wasp has an early matter printer. When specifications are imprecise, the printer's software often interprets them in surprising ways.
The Wasp is equipped with a set of Kel lokwors.
