Reality Dysfunction Indicator

The Reality Dysfunction Indicator, also known as the reality checker, is a specialized sensor used by Despatch and the DIC to gauge the severity of a trans-dimensional snatching incident. It will also provide a rough gauge of how broken the local canon is in general.

Our own reality around a trans-dimensional snatch is always weaker (it has to be, simply because a lot of the laws of causality and common sense are being told to look elsewhere). The RDI measures how weak the fabric of reality has become according to the Reality Dysfunction Index.

The RDI measures:
 * The Reality Slip of the local area, as a percentage
 * Reality Disruption stage (a typical trans-dimensional snatching of the Fellowship was gauged as a Stage Two)
 * Number, gender, and average and median age of kidnapped characters
