Long-range communication device

The intergalactic communication device is a device the Alterans created before they left their home galaxy. Drawing power from subspace, it is capable of linking the conciousness of one or more beings to the minds of beings who are located within another galaxy. The link is activated by using communication stones. One such device was discovered on Avalon in Merlin's vault. Daniel Jackson and Vala Mal Doran used this in hopes of finding none-ascended Ancients living in another galaxy. Instead, they linked to Harrid and Sallis, heretics who had discovered a similar device outside Ver Eger. The device found in Avalon was destroyed when Cameron Mitchell and Teal'c threw it into the kawoosh of an activating Stargate. The device in Ver Eger was taken to Celestis to be destroyed, but Seevis' contacts in Celestis smuggled it out to Ver Isca. Vala, while stranded in the Ori home galaxy, used it to link to Daniel and warn Earth of the impending Ori invasion. This device was destroyed when Tomin shot it with his staff weapon.
