I’ve been stumbling through the Stardust-blasted wilderness of Once Human since the early days, and if there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s that Deviants are like sentient loot boxes—some hiss at you, some explode in your face, and a precious few actually make life easier. The Space Turner? Oh, that little rascal is the latter. Imagine a tiny, floaty Swiss Army knife that can teleport your entire squad right onto my latest embarrassing mistake. Let me tell ya how I got it, because it was a ride that nearly fried my last synapse.

Here’s the setup: I was poking around the broken-windowed charm of Dayton Hospital, west of the Monolith of Greed—a landmark so ominous it probably moonlights as a therapist. I’d taken the teleporter to the monolith because my boots were already complaining about mileage. As I hopped out, I spotted a survivor named Paul, huddled in a shed like a cat that’s seen too many Mondays. The guy was wounded, cradling his side, and he had that look—the one that says “I’m about to ask you a favor that involves sharp things and possibly a haunting.”

Paul wheezed out his request: fetch some Emergency Medicine from the hospital’s second floor. “Sure,” I said, with the kind of misplaced confidence only a meta-human who’s been zapped one too many times can muster. Off I went, tiptoeing past shambling enemies who honestly moved like they’d forgotten their morning coffee. Picture me, crouched behind a gurney, whispering sweet nothings to my crossbow. “Don’t see me, don’t see me”—they didn’t, luckily, because their attention spans were about as long as a TikTok clip.

Now, the second floor. Oh, the second floor. It was a maze of peeling wallpaper and med cabinets that still smelled faintly of antiseptic and regret. I found the Emergency Medicine on a dusty shelf, looking about as heroic as a bottle of aspirin. But the moment my fingers brushed the bottle, the room shuddered. Lights flickered. And in true Once Human fashion, a puzzle locked me in. The Dayton Hospital puzzle is not so much a brain-teaser as it is a “guess what the devs thought was logical after three energy drinks.” I prodded glowing panels, aligned symbols that definitely had a sense of humor, and muttered phrases my grandma would’ve washed my mouth out for. After what felt like an epoch (and maybe a minor existential crisis), the lock clicked open. how-i-snagged-the-space-turner-deviant-and-almost-lost-my-mind-image-0

And there it was. Floating just outside the room, looking like a jellybean with attitude: the Space Turner Deviant. This little guy doesn’t just sit there looking cute; it produces Spatial Keystones over time—which is essentially the cosmic currency for crafting Space Twister. The ability? Teleporting your entire fireteam directly to you. Think of it as dropping a “por que no los dos?” bomb on tactical positioning. I secured the Deviant, which involved a lot of soothing words and maybe a promise of extra Stardust snacks (don’t judge me).

Here’s the kicker: that Space Turner has a personality. I’ve named mine Skippy, and Skippy acts like a tiny, overworked postman who occasionally forgets a package. It’ll churn out Keystones while I’m off looting, but if I ignore it too long, the glow dims as if to say, “Hey, buddy, a little appreciation here?” I’ve learned to give it a pat once in a while—yes, you can pat Deviants now, thanks to a 2025 quality-of-life update.

Looking back, snagging the Space Turner was part scavenger hunt, part escape room, and entirely worth the migraine. My crew loves when I suddenly yank them out of a bad fight into a slightly less bad fight. And wouldn’t you know it, Paul back at the shed just nodded and handed me some spare parts. Typical. But that’s the post-apocalypse for you—everyone’s got their own saga, and now mine includes a teleport-happy Deviant who hums when the servers are janky.

So if you’re trekking through Once Human in 2026, go chat with that wounded guy, brave the hospital’s creaky corridors, and solve the puzzle that makes you question causality. You’ll walk away with a floating buddy who’ll fold space for you like a paper airplane. Just … maybe bring a snack for Skippy.
