It had directed beam weapons and was controlled by a direct link with the operator's brain. The TSS was also capable of functioning autonomously with a simple program — such as "Return to base", for example.

The machine had been used previously by two members of the expedition named [[Stone (Kinda)|Stone]] and [[Carter (Kinda)|Carter]] ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Kinda (novelisation)|Kinda]]'') to explore the area, but both disappeared without trace. Another called [[Roberts (Kinda)|Roberts]] had also recently been in the TSS, but had also gone missing; the machine was empty when first discovered by the [[Fifth Doctor]] and [[Adric]]. When Adric impulsively shut the TSS's door, the machine activated and marched him and the Doctor to the expedition's domed base. | The machine had been used previously by two members of the expedition named [[Stone (Kinda)|Stone]] and [[Carter (Kinda)|Carter]] ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Kinda (novelisation)|Kinda]]'') to explore the area, but both disappeared without trace.

Later, Adric used the TSS to defend against the [[Mara]]-possessed [[Aris]]'s attack, but was unable to control it effectively and his fear made its weaponry activate.

Shortly after the [[The Doctor's TARDIS|TARDIS]] left Deva Loka, Adric received a telling-off from the Doctor for being so reckless with the TSS, as the entire Kinda tribe could have been wiped out as a result.
