| + | The KID System or [[Wikipedia:RAS_syndrome|KIDS System]] is a psychotronic device that harnesses and amplifies the power of children's latent psi abilities. It was created by [[Professor Hodgeson]] for the Kensington Experiment that occurred around 15 years prior to the present day, present time events of ''Serial Experiments Lain''. After the Kensington Experiment's disastrous results, Hodgeson destroyed the machine and deleted its schematics, but the [[Knights of the Eastern Calculus]] somehow recovered the data. The original KID system used peripherals called Outer Receptors to collect the psi, but the Knights redesigned the system to work without Outer Receptors. |
