Summary
It’s in suspended animation that Theadra meets the ghost - in what some refer to as ‘down-time’: the liminal space between unconsciousness and utter awareness, that for a Captain comes with the long distances between the stars, in that suspended state where a thought lasts both forever and only a fraction of a second.
It’s in suspended animation that they meet - only ever there, but reliably always there.
