Chapter 7 - Entry 3

Classification: Clear 

This item is relatively harmless.

Location: Toronto

Toronto is the city and capital of the province of Ontario, in southeastern Canada. It is the most populous city in Canada, a multicultural city, and the country's financial and commercial centre. Its location on the northwestern shore of Lake Ontario, which forms part of the border between Canada and the United States, and its access to Atlantic shipping via the St. Lawrence Seaway and to major U.S. industrial centres via the Great Lakes have enabled Toronto to become an important international trading centre.

Moreover, the city is positioned on the edge of some of the best farmland in Canada, with a climate favourable to growing a wide range of crops, thereby making Toronto a transportation, distribution, and manufacturing centre.

The item was found on a couch in the living room of a person who had come home from a night of drinking. At first, the person thought the special qualities of the item were a product of their drunkenness; however, the next day, once they were sober, they found out the item was in fact special and being drunk had nothing to do with it.

The organisation was informed of reports of people seemingly communicating in situations where communication was incredibly hard or impossible. The organisation swiftly took the item and opted to leave the individuals who knew of it in confusion.

The item is now being used exclusively by the organisation due to its usefulness.

Description: Phone

A hinged cellphone that is more compact when closed. The cover "flips open" to reveal the screen, keypad, speaker, and microphone. Also called a "clamshell phone," the flip phone is a basic cellphone without Internet access.

Effect: Limited Telepathy 

The phone, while in the possession of an individual, which means it works when held or placed in a pocket, allows the user to link their mind with up to five individuals within their social circle and speak to these people from within their mind. This effect works along a range of 5 miles, but beyond the set range, it will no longer be active and the phone only works for approximately three hours and then requires a period of three hours to recharge.
