I read a sci-fi short story about that once. A scientist brings back a guy from the future, but the guy either can’t explain how things work or does so using a vocabulary the scientist doesn’t understand.
It was like:
“How do you make a teleporter?”
“Well you take a zargnix and put it on top of a floon.”
You can hack it by bypassing the torrax with a blaqu’ue injection, then you can easily teleport, even with the carglaian model by putting a zargnix on a floon
Years and years ago in some anthology or other. Sci-fi short stories are my favorite literary medium, so I’ve read far more than I could count. I wish I could tell you the name or the author.

Actually the floon goes inside the zargnix. Duh.
Aren’t you thinking of the floov compensation harpon? People typically get them confused.
Nah, it’s floon, the “n” stands for non-“v” which is definitely what you want if you wanna know where you’re teleporting too…
Oh sure, if you have one of those carglaian models. But only a total marspopple would have one of those.

Oh, yeah, with the torrax you could do that, but if you just upgrade your porz ejector, you can make the whole system cleaner than a Triceptian Fo.
where did read it? do you have a link?
