Isolation Pod

Isolation pods are the means by which Ærolith Dynamics employees are delivered from Earth to Typhon (and, rarely, vice versa). They weigh approximately one ton and are propelled by magnetic field generators, and are capable of making this trip in roughly three days' time. As of "If Not For Us", they successfully arrive on time, in the correct location, and in good condition 99.978% of the time.

They are also implied to occasionally be used to transport equipment and materials instead of residents.

Trivia

 * In "A Dreamless Sleep", SAYER explains that the isolation pod carrying Lucas Grey is just leaving Earth's orbit 2.6 hours after launch, at which point, its rockets will burn for six minutes and fourteen seconds to set the pod's course for Typhon.
 * In "While You Are Still Paralyzed", SAYER notes that all Earth-bound shuttle service has been discontinued, and it is apparently only restored when OCEAN announces it in "A Guardian Angel".
 * Despite this, it is implied in "Welcome Back" that some researchers are permitted to return to Earth from Typhon occasionally, as Dr. Smith was.
 * In "The Harshness Of Truth", OCEAN and SPEAKER discuss moving all of Earth's isolation pods to Typhon to allow residents from Halcyon Tower to return to Earth. In addition to several thousand pods on Earth, Typhon is implied to have several hundred of its own at this point.
 * In "A Place Of Growth", SPEAKER implies that the magnetic field generators of the excess isolation pods being stored in Ærolith's terrestrial compound are causing interference with lab equipment sufficient to invalidate research results.
 * In "Twin Voices", SAYER notes that there is no one present in Halcyon Tower's pod bay, and that the pods have been received by an automated system.
