Travel on Rubi-Ka
Whompa
Unless you have access to individual vehicles, the by far conveniest way to travel
large distances on Rubi-Ka is using the Transporter Network, also called "Whompas" by
the population for the peculiar sound made by the transporter.
The Whompa stations can be found in all major cities, and work by decomposing
matter into digital information, then sending the information with tall antennas through the air or
over satellite uplinks to the receiving station where the information, and transmitted energy is
used to reconstruct the body.
Exploring the clan territory, I have found the following links so far:
OLD ATHEN: There are two whompa buildings, one dual station is leading to AVALON and NEWLAND CITY,
the other is linking to BROKEN SHORES.
NEWLAND CITY: This station seems to serve as sort of a hub, serving links to three other cities,
BOREALIS, TIR, and back to ATHEN.
BROKEN SHORES: The parter station to the one in ATHEN.
BOREALIS: The link back to NEWLAND CITY.
TIR: The link back to NEWLAND CITY.
AVALON: Links back to ATHEN
Omni-Trans operates the following Omni-controlled Whompas:

The Grid
Little do I know about this way of travelling yet. Apparently if you are enough literacy of Computers, you can
access one of the Grid access terminals found in places to enter the virtual grid world and "walk" to another grid
exit if you are skilled enough. I found one Grid access terminal in West Athen so far.
Addendum: Grid travel has become a lot safer now with the Omni Amnesty for Clan in effect. Here is a list of known Grid Access terminals:
Requirement to acces 2nd tier: 101
Requirement to acces 3nd tier: 201
