Space might be the final frontier, but there was a lot of it, and some of it was inhabited -- or maybe inhabitable, depending on what one was looking for. The planet SL-174345b was on the outer edges of known space in what was still colloquially known as the Second Galaxy, had shown some signs of life to exploratory scans, but no one had been able to communicate with any life on the surface. Several scientists, prepared with transuits and various data collection devices, had taken a ship down to the surface of the planet to see if they could make contact with any native life.

When they failed to return or make contact at the appointed time, armed security agents followed them down. When they failed to make contact, they called in the Legion.

SL-174345b's atmosphere wasn't breathable by most species in the U.P., but that's what transuits were for. The scientists and the rescue team had both gone down with extra air, it was possible that some of them were still alive. The Legion's transuits provided eight hours' worth themselves, though hopefully it wouldn't take that long to find the missing sentients. From orbit the planet itself was mostly brown land and black sea, with white clouds swirling over head. A closer look on the approach didn't look all that inviting, primarily craggy stone and dark caves.

The ships of the parties they were looking for were abandoned.

The only spot of color in this bleak landscape were the crystals that grew over everything, in all shades of red and purple and blue. They seemed almost like they were growing through the earth itself, as if they were something separate from it instead of part of it. They weren't all connected physically, but they seemed to be made from the same substance.

Within minutes of disembarking from their cruiser, a woozy feeling came on for the whole team. Only a few seconds later, they lost consciousness, which meant they weren't awake to hear the subtle, crackling, glass-like sounds of crystal growing around them.

Their minds tied together in an indistinct crystalline dreamscape, they would find themselves falling from one mind to another -- sometimes having their psyches split several ways at once to visit the minds of multiple other people simultaneously. In this place, memories seemed almost as real as reality, and had a nasty way of pulling people in and dragging them down into the past.
