Teleportation Grenade

"How's the testing going?"

—Doc about the teleportation cubes

" Well Doc, after countless experiments, I've determined the teleportation cubes are still fucking awesome! All other data has been inconclusive."

—Grif in Reconciliation

The Teleportation Cube, as named by Grif, also known as future cubes in Fire is a type of grenade that was found on the UNSC Crashed Ship. They seem to have the ability to "store" items in subspace that are caught in its blast radius. Then these items can be released when another grenade is thrown, allowing them to "transport" any item easily.

Role in Plot

First appearing in Finders Keepers, many "teleportation cubes" were found by Grif while he, Sarge, and Doc were on the crashed ship. Not knowing what they do, he throws one cube at a pile of objects, which disappear before he throws another cube, which brings back the objects. Grif grows attached to them and, using the cubes' abilities, takes all of them back to Red base. After Doc pleads him to experiment them and being threatened by Sarge, Grif begins to test the grenades to understand them more and, after the Federal Army attacks, discovers with Doc that the cubes can be set at different frequencies which will have different affect on those in their blast radius. Later, Grif and Donut use the cubes to fight the Federal Army in Fire.

Trivia
