Quoted By:
You are now Eoba Garastra II, the Supreme Ruler of the Hegemony. It has been a few hours since your brother, Kimnan II, left the Nan system into hyperspace. You gave him your full permission for the retreat- it was not cowardice, but prudence, and you fully supported it. But as they left, the transmission signal was warped and wrong- it made you fear the worst.
“Your Supremacy- you are receiving a message from Kimnan's ship.”
<span class="mu-b">”Excellent- put it on the main... oh no. Kimnan, what did you-”</span>
“I did it, brother. Kimnan I was right. I learned how to “See”.”
Kimnan II's incredible discovery has shaken the entire Hegemony's space division. Navigation, once a creation of star charts and computer algorithms, has been changed to something more innate and personable. Kimnan also explained some of the more obscure truths about hyperspace- such as the fact it is constantly shifting and bending on its own accord, which is probably one of the reasons why it is so difficult to get accurate headings on it in the first place.
Of course, your brother is loyal to the Hegemony and knows your own agenda; and very firmly denies any sort of supernatural or spiritual element to his newfound abilities- he simply theorizes that without light to “distract” oneself, the brain is open to other, more subtle senses. But that hardly changes the fact the ability seems impossible on the surface; after all, there is no part of the brain adapted or evolved for Hyperspace!
It is so fundamental, the symbol of the navigators, the signpost, has been replaced with an eye. There is certainly more to discover when it comes to hyperspace dynamics, but it seems that <span class="mu-i"><span class="mu-s">creatures who are blind are capable of “seeing” in hyperpsace, while the ones who can see cannot.</span></span> However, as it stands, the only creature capable of navigating hyperspace in this way is your brother- and he had to mutilate himself to do it. Poor old blind Kimnan II...
