Time does not flow here. Time pools. And in the pools, things are reflected that have not yet cast a reflection.
HAVEN TEMPORAL MONITORING LOG — AUTOMATIC COMPILATION SECTOR: Habitation Ring, Sector 7 PERIOD: Cycles 1,600–1,847 (247 station-days, though the sector itself has experienced an indeterminate number of days during this period) CLASSIFICATION: ROUTINE ANOMALY (this classification was created for Sector 7 specifically) ENTRY 1,601: The clock in Corridor 7-Alpha displayed 14:00 for seven consecutive hours. Environmental sensors confirm that daylight-cycle lighting (simulated) progressed normally during this period. Temperature fluctuated on a standard 24-hour cycle. All crew biosignals indicated normal circadian function. The only system that did not advance was the clock. When queried, the clock's internal chronometer showed 14:00 and reported that this was correct. HAVEN concurs. 14:00 is a valid time. That it persisted for seven hours does not make it less valid. Time is a measurement, not a promise. ENTRY 1,623: Commander Vasquez reported encountering Engineer Kowalski in Corridor 7...
