Clicking on the pictures will take you to the first or best appearance of the vehicle/transport in question: | Mindmistress has at her disposal several means of transportation, from funds she gained by manipulation of the stock market, in addition to producing parts from her nanoassembling "anything box", the same thing she used to make her suit and staff.
It can disguise itself via a hypnotic illusion device, similar to the one on MM's breastplate, so that at lower speeds, most people see it as a slow-moving private craft or weather plane. Its real appearance somewhat resembles a white owl with its wings outstretched. Like all of MM's transportation devices, it can reform into a giant robot copy of MM, through the use of nanomachines that shuffle around its parts. |
 THE BRAIN WAVE: A ship that is somewhat modelled in form after the US Navy stealth ship THE SEA SHADOW, only with better motors and MM's velocity-redirection field, as well as the hypnotic /illusion devices for disguise.THE BRAIN WAVE can actually break the sound barrier on the open sea, going past Mach One. The velocity-redirection field helps cut down on friction on the water, treating the waters rushing by it just as it would a missile. This cuts down considerably on its "drag". It can be controlled by Vicki, or even directly controlled by MM's alpha waves. Like the SWIFT THOUGHT, it has a hypnotic-illusion device, and when resting in a port most people see it as a somewhat tarnished old houseboat. Like all of MM's transportation devices, it can reform into a giant robot copy of MM, through the use of nanomachines that shuffle around its parts. The BRAIN WAVE is for transport on top of the sea. The mini-sub SUB CONSCIOUS is a module that can be dropped and detached for undersea exploration from the BRAIN WAVE.
|  THE SUB CONSCIOUS: A mini-sub that can match the diving power of the TRIESTE, the submarine that achieved the lowest depths on record, thanks to the special plastics that adapt to the pressure around it in its hull. A small ship, it can only accomodate two people, but is crammed with equipment, such as MM's "lifeloom" and others.

|  SCHROEDINGER'S CATWALK (or just THE CATWALK): A corridor between locations and realities. It was MM's first mode of transportation, but later abandoned unless of times of dire necessity---because it's the most risky.It takes five minutes to form....activated by the Psyche-Staff...so she cannot appear/disappear at will or at once. This is not "Beam me up, Scotty!" Like the quantum mechanics paradox for which it is named, it seems to work best when there are observers to react to--- to take her to places where there are minds. She has tried repeatedly, and she cannot use it to go to desolate places like the desert or the moon. If she stumbles and falls off the catwalk, she could appear in any of a myraid of realities, including ones where the laws of physics are so different that she would instantly die. It was a knowledge of how the odds were rising against her, that made her for the most part abandon this mode of transportation. Still, she uses it when she must.
