Chronostasis Quarantine

''Traditionally, new residents remain asleep throughout the duration of their voyage to Typhon. Ask anyone who has experienced the trip, and they will tell you of an instantaneous, dreamless sleep. It is as if their life on Earth is extinguished and (like the mythological phoenix) they alight again, reborn on Typhon''.

- SAYER, Episode 6, A Dreamless Sleep

Chronostasis Quarantine is one of Ærolith Dynamics's crowning achievements. It takes 78 hours and 46 minutes to travel from Earth to Typhon. For maximum comfort and efficiency, and to cope with the stress of traveling long-distance in an isolation pod,  new residents are placed into a state of extreme torpidity during the duration of their voyage  (Episode 6, A Dreamless Sleep).

Development and Early Trials
As part of the initial phase of research into travel between Earth and Typhon, the  Ærolith Dynamics chemical research department developed a substance called "trinic themeron" that, after injected subcutaneously, would slow subjects' metabolic processes to the brink of stand-still. The first handful of tests by  researchers in experimenting with trinic themeron  resulted in a catatonic state that ended after three days. This state eventually came to be called "chronostasis."

However, when these early test subjects awoke, researchers discovered that their minds had somehow been irreparably damaged during sleep. Subjects would claw violently at their own eyes and ears, attempting to tear their own bodies to shreds. This was because trinic themeron altered not only their metabolic processes but also the way in which the conscious mind perceived time. Brain-wave analysis showed subjects' minds operating at an accelerated rate of approximately 42,735.64 to one, meaning that over the course of 78 days they experienced roughly 384 years of illusory time spent in silence, darkness, and sensory deprivation.

Researchers eventually found that by pairing the injections with a powerful narcotic injected prior to introducing the trinic themeron and maintained sedation throughout the 78-hour voyage that they were able to induce a state of total unconsciousness. These subjects would emerge from chronostasis three days later alert and coherent, without attempting to mutilated themselves.
