INVOKE System

The INVOKE System is a pseudo-mental control system developed to allow regular humans enhanced control over their mobile suits.

Description & Characteristics
Both Transcendents and Cyber-Transcendents produce high frequency Hallett Waves, allowing for specialised systems built into the cockpit to translate these brainwaves into computer commands. As normal humans do not exhibit TR waves they cannot interface in the same manner. However, following the successful development of the N-TRAC system, a version was eventually developed which could scan the brainwaves of normal humans, though lacking the same high definition as TR Wave reading. As human brainwaves are too weak to properly control a mobile suit, the INVOKE System relies on manual control input and predictive algorithms to increase reaction times. In order for the INVOKE System to function and maximum effectiveness, the system must either be pre-loaded with combat data specific to the pilot, or gather new data to learn the pilot's unique control style.

When running at maximum effectiveness the INVOKE System drastically increases the response time of the mobile suit, as well as allowing the pilot to mentally manipulate several aspects of the machine. Unlike the N-TRAC and C-TRAC Systems, INVOKE does not provide the same level of mental feedback, limiting overall function. Furthermore, the scanning system used by the N-TRAC and its derivatives is incredibly intensive for the human brain and places a lot of stress on the synaptic pathways. To prevent serious damage, the system is programmed to automatically shut down after seven minutes of constant activation, the system may disengage prematurely if the support systems detect a major imbalance in the pilot's brain. After shutting down INVOKE cannot be restarted until the pilot's brain has shown sufficient signs of recovery. When activated, the mobile suit's sensors change to red.

HARMONY System
A unique subtype of the INVOKE first seen in the Firestar and Starlight Gundams, while the full potential of HARMONY's output is unknown, it behave more like a connection between the two machine and their pilots, in addition to raising output. During HARMONY's activation, the two machines communicate with one another at high speed, transmitting partial conscience thoughts which feed back through the system. While it is currently not fully understood how this is possible, some speculate that some humans may still have dormant Transcendant abilities which function passively. This provides limited mental communication between the two pilots and their machines, allowing the pair to cooperate with remarkable effectiveness. During the HARMONY System's activation, the sensors change from red to yellow.
