Chapter 22
In this chapter, the protagonists Jason and Tara navigate the dangers of hyperspace layers by using jumpsuits to move between different spatial layers, carefully managing their separation to avoid fatal overlap. They face immediate threats from hostile forces and must coordinate their jumps and communications while dealing with the complexities of relativistic travel and the spatial distortions of hyperspace. The chapter explores their tactical decisions, the physics of layered hyperspace, and the tension between following orders and personal judgment.
