Time Portal

The Time Portal is a device used to increase Spacetime Dilation in the three hospitals which comprise the A Stitch In Time DLC, in order to increase the rate, number and variety of available patients.

Appearance
The base of the device is a bluish-grey metal octagon, in the centre of which is a brass-coloured ring with a pulsating blue time warp within. Placed at equidistant intervals around this are four bluish-grey slots, also in bluish-grey metal and connected in sequence by red tubing, each containing an eight-pointed large brass cog, with a bluish-white light along the perimeter, spinning away from the centre. Between each of these are four red cushions, bolted to the base by their light metal borders.

Function
Each Time Portal, natural or artificial, increases the hospital's Spacetime Dilation by 8.33%. This will result, when placed in sufficient quantity, in a higher arrival rate and larger total capacity for patients, and an increased variety of illnesses.
