Gravity Containment Device

"Take the elevator to the basement, find the rift, turn that puppy on, put it in the rift, then get the hell out of there."

- Phil Coulson

The Gravity Containment Device was a device created by Leo Fitz to close the Fear Dimension which expanded in the Lighthouse.

History
"The gravity field's keeping the rift contained, for now. It's a Band-Aid, we'll need a more powerful solve, but the anomalies are fading. No new ones are occurring."

- Leo Fitz

The destruction of the three Monoliths due to the explosion of the Kree Orb created a tear in space-time which caused the appearance of the Fear Dimension, which physically manifested the fears of the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents in the Lighthouse. In order to close the rift, Leo Fitz used Deke Shaw's Gravity Manipulation Device to create a Gravity Containment Device which would stop the Fear Dimension from creating new illusions.

However, closing the rift required someone to risk their life to activate the Gravity Containment Device. After an argument between the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents, they agreed to let Phil Coulson perform the mission. Coulson went down to the underground levels of the Lighthouse, where he met an illusion of Mike Peterson. Peterson noticed that Coulson was holding the Gravity Containment Device and claimed that he would not try to take it from him. Peterson also tried to convince Coulson that all he had lived was a dream he made on the operation table during his resurrection. In the end, Coulson refused to follow Peterson to the rift, prompting Peterson to grab Coulson and to attempt to force him to go into the Fear Dimension, making Coulson drop the Gravity Containment Device. Nevertheless, the illusion was destroyed by Deathlok, who helped Coulson to pick up the device. In the end, Coulson activated the Gravity Containment Device and momentarily closed the rift.

Design and Capabilities
"I was hoping there was enough Gravitonium with some modifications to create a perpetual force that can stitch together the tear in space-time."

- Leo Fitz

While not activated, the Gravity Containment Device resembles a metal sphere displaying Deke Shaw's Gravity Manipulation Device's button on its surface. Once activated, however, the device deploys four faces connected together with metal rods. The device is powered with Gravitonium. Therefore, once activated, it can float in the air and is naturally attracted to the rift caused by the Fear Dimension. Once near the rift, the device's faces fitted into the tear and caused its closure, momentarily shutting down the Fear Dimension.
