Bridge baby pod

A bridge baby pod is a portable pod which simulates the conditions inside a stillmother's womb for a bridge baby, as a bridge baby needs to believe they are in one at all times to function properly.

Connected to the Odradek via a pipe, it allows the user to be able to detect Beached Things, or at least their "silhouette", using the scan function notably, however the pod locks itself showing red "CAUTION" signs when the BB is stressed to the point of Autotoxemia, rendering it useless until it is calmed down via attaching to a Synchronization Incubator.

A decree absolutely forbids anyone to ever free a BB from the pod. Deadman states that the simple extraction can lead to irremediable injury of the baby in 75% of cases.

Synchronization incubator[]

When the environmental data of a pod becomes outdated, it will need to be taken to a synchronization incubator to be updated. When in an incubator, a pod will synchronize across the Chiral Network with a stillmother in the Capital Knot City ICU, and reconfigure its settings based on the latest data. A pod update also reset a bridge baby's stress levels and clears a autotoxemia state, making it able to function again.

Trivia[]

Sam is the first Bridge Baby freed from a pod, thanks to his father Cliff who opened the pod during his attempt.
