Communication pad

From The Stargate Omnipedia

Communicationpad.jpg

Human version of the Ancient communication terminal. Less bulky than its predecessor, the communication pad may seat up to five communication stones simultaneously. The device runs on an internal power source, the life of which is not known. When a user activates a stone that is paired with the pad, his or her conscious mind will trade bodies with the person on the other end of the communications line -- even across the expanse of many galaxies.

One communication pad was dispatched with the Icarus team in the event they traveled to a nine-chevron address. The other is located at Homeworld Security under guard.
