The Device is a vehicle used by The Cult to access their place of worship, where they communicate with Bowl of Peas. The only member capable of operating The Device is Andre, because he read an instruction manual in 15 minutes[1] and has a driver's license[2].
Appearance
Externally the device resembles an ordinary red car. It can seat at least four people. The driver sits in the front-left seat and has a steering wheel in front of them. To the right of the driver's seat is a lever resembling a typical gear shift with symbols resembling Arabic numerals and an 'X'[3]. Below the steering wheel there are three pedals labeled '+', '-' and a symbol resembling the Stranger Eons' Logo[4]. It also contains a rear view mirror[5] and the side windows can be lowered[6]
Functionality
The device can operate much like a regular car[7], allowing it's users to travel on roads. However after inserting a combination of symbols using the gear shift and stepping on the left-most pedal, a green, rectangular portal can be generated in front of it[8]. The device is then capable of entering the portal and traversing the black Void beyond it. After exiting the Void, the device appears slightly above ground level, causing it to drop[9].
