The black mote is a powerful item equipped in the Floating Nearby slot. Its capacitor holds 2000 power, and is charged by a built in Zero-Point Energy Collector which charges 20 units per turn, a solar array which can charge 30 units per turn when available, and a broadcast power receiver which can charge 10 units per turn when available.

The item's abilities include increasing the wearer's DV, and giving a base 20% chance to block ranged attacks against them (which will give the message "the black mote swallows" the object in question) which can be further modified by compute power (10 compute power increases the chance by 1%).[1] The latter ability is affected by normality.

However, using the black mote comes at a cost. When equipped, there is a 1% that "the black mote stumbles" into the source of something that damaged the wearer, causing them to be teleported by the same method that a space-time vortex uses to another zone.[2] This ability is similarly affected by normality, but can otherwise not be prevented.
