Ortho accesses Idia’s tablet remotely in an attempt to escape from Malleus’ domain, but there are limitations: he can only connect for a few hours a day given the low number of usable communications satellites, and he can move at barely a tenth of the speed he gets on 4G networks.
The transfer is also extremely risky, with the threat of Ortho becoming stranded in space between the island and the satellite, or between the satellite and STYX.
As the only one capable of escaping Malleus’ barrier Ortho decides to take the risk, fulfilling a dream that Idia had for him back when he was first designed (and Ortho is certain to point this out, later on).
He succeeds and describes this as his equivalent of unique magic, saying, “I’m not a mage, so I can’t acquire a signature spell or anything like that…but using a satellite, I can move my mind and soul over radio waves to another gear.”
Malleus describes this as the ability to make his will depart his body like a ghost and enter other vessels.
When Ortho infiltrates Idia’s dream in his Cerberus gear and Malleus asks how he managed it Ortho responds, “Does a ghost need to explain how they’re able to shift between planes and dimensions?”
This is an interesting parallel for Ortho himself to make, as he has said that he is “not a fan of ghosts in general” and it seems they have mocked him in the past, possibly for being a body without a soul as compared to their souls without bodies.
