One of the Normal Portal chambers. You can see a seeker on the far wall.

Normal Portal is a transportation device which is used to lock a dimensional funnel in order to send or receive matter. Normal Portal refers both to the type of device and an actual piece of hardware, stationed at The Ring.

It was built by a group of scientists led by Patrice Eastaughffe, with the initial purpose to create an invisibility device.

Normal Portal was developed in late 19th century at a facility called Experimental Physics Institute, which was generally dedicated to the study of the psychic phenomena. While the paranormal studies have failed to produce any interesting results, a portion of studies was dedicated to genuine scientific endeavors. Focusing on the esoteric themes, such as parallel universes, time travel and other sci-fi inspired subjects, it was safe haven for those researchers who would otherwise never receive funding.

A group under the leadership of Patrice Eastaughffe had been working on a special type of invisibility which would hide a person or object by bombarding them with anti-photons.
