True Teleportation

Stopping time would have that effect. Maeve does something similar in Proven Guilty just at a different scale.
The tinkling for Marcone sounds straight out of Star Trek.

Time travel takes a lot of raw power that Marcone doesn't seem to have (e.g. he uses lots of weak shields against Ethniu). I suppose time stoppage could be easier somewhat, but having enough juice might be an issue.

I'd think so actually. We've already seen that effect once in GS when Daniel could prep his reactions and Aristides couldn't compensate. I think Drakul might have an upper limit to his perception that's lower than his max speed. (Thinking of Fullmetal alchemist Brotherhood here)
As for the definition of teleportation.. that's a difficult subject eh? If we go by the above
--- Quote ---true teleportation should be defined as traveling between two distinct points without traversing a path between.

then it would require a literal wormhole effect of place to place displacement. What Marcone did might qualify... I wonder, if someone was prepped and waiting if he could be intercepted doing it? If not, I'd give it to him. Even if he uses another dimension to do so, it might still fall under the definition. Kind of a personal effect of the same technique Vadderung used in CH to create the gateway.
Ghost teleportation makes me think of star trek, in that they're broken down and reformed elsewhere.. though I note, they call that a transporter not a teleporter..
*Can you "stop time" outside of the NN?

I was thinking about Drakul.

Ah, I misunderstood. Yeah, possibly. For something like that, I wonder if or what he used to compensate. Kringle launched the Wild Hunt through time off himself, pushing himself backwards in time in the process. Kinda like Newton's third law but through time. I think that was part of him being coy in his conversation at Mac's; he was in the past from his perspective and had ideas about what was going to happen.
