Three months ago, time stopped. The researchers inside are still screaming.

Overview

In Preservation Lab 7 on the vast space station Prospero's Dream, corporate scientists achieved the impossible—perfect stasis where time itself stops. Then something went wrong. The field expanded, trapping seven researchers in a hypervibrational nightmare where their bodies are frozen but their minds experience centuries in moments. Now Corporate wants their people back and their Preservation Engine recovered. They're offering good pay for a simple extraction job. They're not mentioning the five previous teams that never came back.
