TRAX Project -
Futuristic time travel project from the year
2193 A.D. featured on the sci-fi adventure TIME
TRAX/SYN/1993-94.
Time Chamber
Portal
Created by Dr. Mordecai "Mo" Sahmbi (Peter Donat),
the TRAX project (Trans-Time Research &
Development) illegally transported criminals 200
years into the past to avoid prosecution.
After sending a number of criminal cronies to
the 20th Century, Sahmbi sent himself back into
time. Hot on their heels was police officer
Captain Darien Lambert (Dale Midkiff) from the
Fugitive Retrieval Section [Sambhi killed
Lambert´s lover in a shoot-out]. Darien's
mission: travel back in time to 1992 to
apprehend and return fugitives who had
time-warped from his era.
"It began in the future. A time machine called
TRAX, criminals who vanish, and a lawman who
must pursue into the past. Now he is among us, a
special breed of man. He has one weapon and a
computer called Selma. With her, he will travel
through our world, searching for fugitives from
his own, knowing he cannot go home until he has
found them all. His name is Darien Lambert and
this is his story." -- Opening Narration
To subdue his suspects, Darien used a futuristic
weapon that looked like a small garage-door
remote control called an
MPPT (Miniature Pellet
Projection Tube). It shot imperceptible-sized
pellets which osmoses through the skin in a glow
of blue light. The pellets rendered a person
stunned for a few minutes (or hours) and
prepared them for teleportation back to the
future.
Blue pellets knocked a person out for 2 minutes,
green pellets for 3 hours. Red pellets contain
TXP, the chemical required to send the fugitive
back to the 22nd century.
The injection of the TXP substance helped align
the molecular structure of the person being
transported so that they could withstand the
rigors of time travel. Once injected with TXP,
S.E.L.M.A (Darien's portable computer) directed a
transmission tone to notify TRAX control that
the retrieved criminal was ready for transport.
Darien used classified ads placed in the
Washington Post to indicate a specific location
of the fugitive. The classified ads were
Darien's only means of communication with the
future.
Darien cannot return until the mission is
completed, since TRAX only allows two trips.
Another weapon in Darien’s arsenal was a million
dollar experimental tranquilizer gun called
Cody.
