Novabox
The Novabox is a dangerous device in the Novacom Saga.
Description
The Novabox needed a satellite dish to be set up on a house to get signals from the broadcast tower. To use, the user would put on the Novabox helmet. In the episode Box of Miracles it is shown that Hillingdale Haven was using a medical form of Novabox that seemed to help anyone that used it. The effects would wear off soon after and usually leave the user in worse condition then when they started. It had an infrared port that received the remote control signals. It also had a radio transmitter in it that didn't turn off after being unplugged. The radio transmitter affected people's minds using brainwaves and caused the people of Odyssey to buy items that they didn't need or vote for someone they hadn't intended to vote for. The Novabox was part of a larger plan to influence the minds of the entire world. It also caused regression in anyone that used them and improved to the point that they were actually worse then they were before using the Novabox.
It was revealed in the canon Elsewhere in Odyssey story arc, "the Acolyte", that the US government confiscated all Novaboxes after the Andromeda Trials. However, at least one was missed, and was eventually obtained by the Acolyte, and used in his sinister schemes.
