A small Ancient device that tells you who's around you, even through walls. In the labyrinthine corridors of Atlantis, the life signs detector isn't a gadget: it's often the difference between an ambush and a life saved.
Overview
The principle is simple and brilliant. Held in one hand, the detector shows every life form in the vicinity as points of light: behind bulkheads, in neighboring rooms, in the dark. For a team exploring an unknown city or an abandoned ship, it's a sixth sense, the way to know whether you're really alone.
History
In a galaxy full of Wraith and traps, this little device saves lives over and over. It lets you anticipate an ambush, locate a missing team member, figure out what's hiding around the next corner. Discreet and far from spectacular, it's nevertheless one of the tools the Atlantis expedition never goes anywhere without. Proof that Ancient technology shines in small things too.
