The ''kelguid'' consists of a silver disk sitting atop | The ''kelguid'' consists of a silver disk sitting atop cylindrical waist-high (by human standards) equipment cabinet. From the silver disk a [[Holography|hologram]] is projected that [[Catherine Halsey|Dr. Catherine Halsey]] described as looking like "a half-eaten dinner of spaghetti and meatballs that had just entered zero-g." The "meatballs" were spherical holograms that represented [[Gravity well (physics)|gravity well]]s of various sizes and the "spaghetti" consisted of lines representing the curvature of spacetime around the gravity wells. The lines would sometimes bend so tightly that they would intersect, creating connection points that could be as transit nodes for slipspace-capable starships.{{Ref/Reuse|HSS22}} | ||
Despite the device appearing to employ standard holographic technology, Dr. Halsey reported an unusual "cold tingle" in her arm when she waved her hand inside the ''kelguid''{{'}}s projected hologram, prompting her to quickly remove her hand.{{Ref/Reuse|HSS22}} | Despite the device appearing to employ standard holographic technology, Dr. Halsey reported an unusual "cold tingle" in her arm when she waved her hand inside the ''kelguid''{{'}}s projected hologram, prompting her to quickly remove her hand.{{Ref/Reuse|HSS22}} | ||
