I’ve made a lot of trips through the bubble, seen contours in the tunneling that lend a sense of regionality to every witchspace corridor I enter. Enough trips and I started to note how some journeys take longer than others. Mind you, it’s not that I’m complaining. Having 7 light-years reduced to 7 seconds of time is exceptionally convenient. But I started to see variations. This trip took 5 seconds, that one took 10.
I’m not talking long routes either, no this is more about the strange lag in time when you approach the exit point. Like your FSD is stalled. Seconds drift quickly into panic as no training exists for how to handle the event. I’ve seen this on short runs and long, where the next star is tens of light-years away or as little as 3 light-years, practically a skip over the neighbors fence.
I tried to ask about it once but spacers are paranoid and incredibly superstitious. I’ve been given the cold-shoulder every time I ask and forums are rife with crackpot theories and little valid proof. So now I see these events and I’m more of a tourist.
