Sonic Screwdriver Sonic screwdriver

rdfs:comment

A sonic screwdriver was an application of sonic technology, a type of engineer's tool used in and around the Federation in the 23rd and 24th centuries. (VAN novel: Harbinger; SCE eBooks: Wildfire, Book 1, Wildfire, Book 2) A sonic screwdriver is a handy gadget from the Whoniverse. Screwdriving is only one of its many functions. Others include (but are not limited to) igniting methane, picking electronic locks, detecting antimatter, and minor deus ex machina-ing. There are several other known models in canon, among them being pen, lipstick, cane, and sunglasses. Laser screwdrivers are a more advanced type of technology, but function very similarly to sonic devices. The Guardsman is known to use a laser screwdriver, and is rather fond of it. The sonic screwdriver — also called a sonic probe or simply a sonic — was a highly versatile tool used by the Doctor. He modified and ostensibly upgraded it over the years, giving it an increasing number of applications. Early versions were used mainly for the picking of locks and for projecting sound so as to, for example, detonate objects and fry circuitry. By the time of the Ninth Doctor, the sonic was able to also be used as a sophisticated scanning device, with medical applications. Subsequent incarnations gave it even wider functionality, such as the ability to hack into computers, provide geolocation and actively defend against some types of assault weapons by frying their internal mechanics and causing the weapons to burst into flames and sparks from the inside. The tool seemed to Captain Lewis of Unity Starbase possessed a sonic screwdriver. Another was used by Becky as a dermal regenerator. These devices proved to have many more applications, being used to do anything from destroying control panels, overloading Colonel Green's androids, sealing flesh wounds, connecting electronic devices, activating the TARDIS and Iconian gateways, locking doors, decrypting computers and generating sonic waves. (Star Trek: Unity (fan film series)) The Sonic Screwdriver, a device commonly used by rogue mechanics and technically-minded savants, is a difficult bit of technology to operate. Basically, it uses focused sonic waves to remotely manipulate the innards of machinery. Pre-programmed routines can allow it to pick locks or reconfigure common mechanical items in set ways, however, many enthusiasts of the tool are fond of "free style use," that is, simply moving the focusing lenses manually and pointing the device as a normal tool. Its most common function is that of a lock-pick, but can be used to perform other operations such as conducting medical scans, remotely controlling other devices, providing orgasms, making the Doctor look like a faggot by waving it around all the bloody time, tracking alien life and, using red setting or dampers, it can control the properties of atoms and molecules on a small scale, create triple super beams that destroy Daleks, give the user telekinetic powers to lift massive stone objects, destroy guns, re-seal temporal rifts, resurrect people in the form of immortal faces on a pavement slab. It can, with the exception of a deadlock seal or wooden lock, open any type of lock and operate computers, whether their origin is alien or human. Try to distinguish the satire from the actual thing Sonic Screwdriver is a quest item.

Its most common function is that of a lock-pick, but can be used to perform other operations such as conducting medical scans, remotely controlling other devices, providing orgasms, making the Doctor look like a faggot by waving it around all the bloody time, tracking alien life and, using red setting or dampers, it can control the properties of atoms and molecules on a small scale, create triple super beams that destroy Daleks, give the user telekinetic powers to lift massive stone objects, destroy guns, re-seal temporal rifts, resurrect people in the form of immortal faces on a pavement slab. It can, with the exception of a deadlock seal or wooden lock, open any type of lock and operate computers, whether their origin is alien or human. Try to distinguish the satire from the actual things the screwdriver has been used for, I fucking dare you, it's the everything power for whatever the scriptwriters need it to be. The Sonic Screwdriver, a device commonly used by rogue mechanics and technically-minded savants, is a difficult bit of technology to operate. Basically, it uses focused sonic waves to remotely manipulate the innards of machinery. Pre-programmed routines can allow it to pick locks or reconfigure common mechanical items in set ways, however, many enthusiasts of the tool are fond of "free style use," that is, simply moving the focusing lenses manually and pointing the device as a normal tool. It can be used as a makeshift weapon, though not an effective one, as the sonic focuses are very weak fields, capable of, at most, creating discomfort. It can also emit high-pitched ultrasonic waves that can remotely interface with appropriate machinery. One famous user of the sonic screwdriver is Garrett G. Granth the IV. He has used these devices for as much construction as he has destruction. Sonic Screwdriver is a quest item. The sonic screwdriver — also called a sonic probe or simply a sonic — was a highly versatile tool used by the Doctor. He modified and ostensibly upgraded it over the years, giving it an increasing number of applications. Early versions were used mainly for the picking of locks and for projecting sound so as to, for example, detonate objects and fry circuitry. By the time of the Ninth Doctor, the sonic was able to also be used as a sophisticated scanning device, with medical applications. Subsequent incarnations gave it even wider functionality, such as the ability to hack into computers, provide geolocation and actively defend against some types of assault weapons by frying their internal mechanics and causing the weapons to burst into flames and sparks from the inside. The tool seemed to have electromagnetic properties and abilities, as it could be used to electrify the nervous system, and could create powerful frequencies and signals, as well as use sound to carry out its functions, even to the point where three of its latest incarnations where able to create a sonic force blast while working together or shooting green sonic energy waves. All of these incarnations utilised the same software, though they used different cases. For all intents and purposes, the War Doctor's sonic was the same as the Eleventh Doctor's some 400 years later. (TV: The Day of the Doctor) A sonic screwdriver was an application of sonic technology, a type of engineer's tool used in and around the Federation in the 23rd and 24th centuries. (VAN novel: Harbinger; SCE eBooks: Wildfire, Book 1, Wildfire, Book 2) A sonic screwdriver is a handy gadget from the Whoniverse. Screwdriving is only one of its many functions.

There are several other known models in canon, among them being pen, lipstick, cane, and sunglasses. Laser screwdrivers are a more advanced type of technology, but function very similarly to sonic devices. Agents known to possess a sonic device are Makes-Things, the Disentangler (although the Disentangler recently lost her sonic red pen to Eledhwen Elerossiel in a game of poker [in which Eledhwen cheated by counting cards, but never you mind]. However, she replaced it afterwards with a sonic wand found during a Doctor Who and Harry Potter crossover), the Aviator, and Alex Dives. The Guardsman is known to use a laser screwdriver, and is rather fond of it. Sues have a special fondness for an uncanon, yet similar, device called a laser spanner. These make for good trophies and are often very shiny, though they tend to not last very long. Captain Lewis of Unity Starbase possessed a sonic screwdriver. Another was used by Becky as a dermal regenerator. These devices proved to have many more applications, being used to do anything from destroying control panels, overloading Colonel Green's androids, sealing flesh wounds, connecting electronic devices, activating the TARDIS and Iconian gateways, locking doors, decrypting computers and generating sonic waves.
