ComTab
- The ComTab is a device from the Rescue Bots portion of the Aligned continuity family.
The ComTab is a small portable version of the communications system at the Griffin Rock fire station. It allows the user to take emergency calls via videophone and coordinate response efforts, all from a remote location. It can somehow receive video of distant locations from improbable viewpoints, such as aerial views of buildings and even rivers.
