Project T-Link is the bridge that lets Operators enter Sector 7 without entering it in body. Operators remain outside the incident zone, under suspension, and project an encoded neural image. The current hardware is the Mark VII.
T-Link began as one-way remote neural projection. After 14:22 on 18 June 1993 the bridge carried traffic both ways. Sensations, injuries and foreign memories encountered inside Sector 7 now write back into the Operator's neural pattern, and every returned sensation is treated as untrusted data.
Since the incident
A relay note found on the surface records that staff have been asked, since 14:22, to file returned sensations with the operator's memories, on a form with only one signature box. Medical's open question is what wakes up if a projection disconnects.
Liminal plays music down the carrier for the length of every projection. Operatives report that it helps. The archive holds recordings in which the music goes on after the operative has disconnected.
Other uses
The same bridge is used for remote work at Research bay four, where the screen is a T-Link aperture into addressable equipment and sample coordinates.
