Presently waiting for written commands.
After what might as well be a crash landing. We are slowly in recovery. My personal injuries, mainly minor, left me to ponder our recent escapade into this new strange belt of the Alturian Sector.
The crew not only in a state of mental disbelief(disorder) after the events of our drastic travel; seem to be recovering at random pacing. This with no regard to their injuries.
The belt seems to have some effect on the individual perception of time. Down to the healing properties of each body. Certain individuals in our exploration group seemingly have the capacity to heal almost instantly. A truly shocking sight to see first hand.
Cutting the tip of her finger Zan quickly coagulated and new skin appeared in under 15 seconds.
The discoveries we made without going too far into experimentation opened a new door to us all.
The most extraordinary discovery we made was weeks later. Our explorer Klarn found his suit had been void of air and temperature regulation on his last run. After he self experimented, against all advice, he found he no longer needed atmosphere or temperature regulation. He created his own.
The questions that arose from this discovery included, was each of these changes locational for each of us; were we awake or asleep when we obtained these abilities; and would it be replicated if we were to travel again with others.
Tragically we never leave to find out.
We awoke one 32 hour cycle to find Klarn absent from the ship. His suit still in for repairs. We feared his lust for his new found abilities inticed him out into the unknown.
While circling ship another of the crew, a med supervisor, became overcome with mania. They too jumped from the ship without a suit. We could do nothing but watch as they floated away.
Ecstatic that they could survive without a suit.
The crew, medical and explorative alike, agreed that furth self experimentation would be limited if not dismissed entirely. Our "day" shifts changed order not only due to the loss of crew, but for the need to keep all crew safe and sane.
This brings us to what happened to time... or more so what did not happen to it.
Time stood still, and it waited.
The crewmember who fled the ship in a mania never seemed to leave. After 3 day cycles it started to worry all of us. They kept speaking to themself and moving in excitement like the moment they first left.
Even with our increased speed we saw him still equidistance from when we first turned our backs on him. About this time we noticed wounds were no longer healing at all. Not worsening, just not healing.
Food would no longer heat or cool.
Time had left us.
Hyper light drive was of the newest of the new. This did nothing to our coordinates nor how far we were from our crewmate. While taking a closer look I found the man was speaking the same phrase: "Don't move. Not Again..." over and over. No other motion anymore except for his speech.
No blinking, no breathing, no stopping. Only what looking like yelling those words.
No twitch between repetition nor agitation of other muscles.
"What do we do?" I thought "Stand still?"
Then it dawned on us.
"Kill the engine and stand still"
Slowly he moved back towards the ship. Th doors did not open and he did not appear to us again after vanishing into the hull of the ship. There could have been an explanation to this phenomon butt we refrain from speculation
We left the Alturian belt soon as we suddently felt more normal than ever we ever had before.
Remember Klarn...
