Machines can likewise utilize nowhere. The timeless nature of it allows for signals to be sent through it at faster-than-light speed. Artificial Intelligences such as [[M-Bot]] use this to facilitate high-speed processing necessary for them to function.{{book ref|sky2|18}} Regular machines also utilize this system to communicate across star systems. This can be used both to send messages between various worlds, and to control drones from a safe distance without the light-speed lag.{{book ref|sky2|14}}
=== Nowhere portals ===
Ordinary people can access nowhere through '''nowhere portals''', gateways that allow one to physically enter and exit nowhere. It is through nowhere portals that [[acclivity stone]], which provides anti-gravity, is mined by the spacefaring species of the galaxy.{{book ref|sky2|25}}▼

▲Ordinary people can access nowhere through '''nowhere portals''', gateways that allow one to physically enter and exit nowhere.
Though it's unclear how the nowhere portals were made or by whom, the process can be recreated, as the [[Superiority]]'s Department of Protective Services has managed to create a nowhere portal of their own. That portal takes on the appearance of a black sphere hovering above the ground, roughly the size of a person's head. When a person touches the sphere, they appear to stretch towards it before being absorbed into it.{{book ref|sky2|34}} Superiority's portal is also surrounded by a ring with the alien writing etched into it, suggesting that the symbols are crucial to crossing the barrier between realities.{{book ref|sky2|45}}
There are also the '''nowalks''', which likewise seem to somehow connect to the nowhere. However, what they are -- and if "nowalk" isn't simply another name for a nowhere portal -- is uncertain.{{book ref|sky2|4}}
