[ WP ] Personal Teleportation technology has been perfected . Now almost everyone owns a safe , pocketable device that can transport them anywhere on the surface of the Earth nearly instantaneously . Describe life in this world and the impact the devices have had on it .

The drop gang got me last night. My safety protocol of remaining vigilant and anti-social had failed. Though it's hardly surprising considering anyone can be anywhere at any time. They took only one item off me upon capture, my personal teleportation device ( PTD ). I was their prisoner. 
 
 My cell consisted of four concrete walls, no windows and no door. A tomb, were it not for the dangling bulb. I do n't recall what stage of insanity I had reached when a cloaked woman popped into existence beside me. She had a metal egg-shaped device and held it out towards me, gesturing for me to take it. I took it. 
 
 `` Know how to use it?'' she muttered. 
 
 I knew exactly what it was and how to use it, but I'd suffered hours of isolation. 
 
 `` No.'' 
 
 She grabbed the device back from my still stretched out arm and pushed it on the ground, three prongs sprang out, holding it upright. She then pointed to a small blank display on the side. 
 
 `` Once the number appears you pick it up and run.'' she explained. 
 
 I nodded and picked the device up, its prongs retracting. 
 
 Drop gangs profit from the one caveat of PTDs; temporal destination locks. Provided you have a lock, you can teleport. Egg devices known as'drops' are used by gangs to acquire and sell locks to locations otherwise'off-the-grid'. Turns out this activity is extremely dangerous. All they need is someone desperate enough to do it for them.
