Transdimensional Disturber

Description:

The Transdimensional Disturber is one of the most powerful, and esoteric weapons that Evil Corp. has ever produced. It uses state-of-the-art quantum optics to produce enough negative energy to form a small wormhole. A wormhole in itself can be enormously destructive, but there is an extra quirk that comes from careful manipulation of the quantity and spectral content of the negative energy, which allows this wormhole to be linked to a very specific point in what is assumed to be a parallel universe. By an as yet undetermined mechanism*, certain forms of directed energy passed through the wormhole are vastly magnified and reflected back very accurately at the closest humanoid. Such a beam is created by the weapon's secondary fire.

* There has been speculation that the effect is due to an intelligent species living on the other side, who do not take kindly to being shot at and so shoot back at the nearest hostile looking lifeform. There has even been one claim of a profane message being sent back. However, it is generally accepted that this is a silly idea.

Usage:

- Primary-fire creates the wormhole and shoots it forward at slow speed. The wormhole will continue moving in a straight line until it hits a solid object, at which point it will implode, damaging anything around it.
- Secondary-fire fires a beam that is almost totally harmless in itself, but when a wormhole is hit, it will amplify it and direct it at a player close to the wormhole. This is usually enough for an instant kill.
