Dave Harris is a scientist living aboard the Alley, a armed forces space station where he holds out hyperfield experiments. The technology to harvest energy from hyperspace kept humanity from extinction thirty years ago, and Dave’s analysis reaches the cutting edge of hyperfield technology. Just as Dave’s experiments make progress, an accident engulfs the Alley in a whirlwind of chaos and incomprehensible causes, leading Dave to a disturbing discovery: his work has uncovered the energy behind psychic power – something horribly harmful for the mindless machine to become spreading amongst the humans in the Alley. As the hours slide by, crew associates are going crazy at a terrifying pace, and Dave’s mind turns into clouded by horrifying visions. As he types through the aftermath of the disaster, Dave realizes it wasn’t one event and if he can’t fight the impending madness, there is one certainty: the Alley will end up being demolished, along with everyone in it.
