Whatisthisthing

There's a lot of new junk in the registry. You wonder what all this stuff is for.

Along with the Ectobiology Apparatus and Cloning Pad, a third device appearedHS in the Phernalia Registry when John connected to Jade, and then again with ArquiuspriteHS. Very little is known about it, but it bears a resemblance to the Catenative Doomsday Dice Cascader.

Its purpose is explained in the author commentary for the Homestuck books, which matches prior fan speculation on the subject.

“It's actually the mechanism by which the tadpole is "loaded" into the planet's core, ready to be fired from the Forge into Skaia when the time is right. You put the tadpole into the bubble (note the doomsday dice cascader-like design), and the thing drills into the planet until it gets to the core. But the kids never needed to use it, because their tadpole serendipitously found another way to the core.”
