Apparently a number of us have been experiencing hallucinations. Some aural, some visual. I happened to be able to record mine...

[ What follows is a shaky, first person visual of a corridor on deck 3. It might have been recorded via the wrist communicator, but savvy viewers will be able to tell that the perspective is more eye-level than wrist level. At first, nothing happens, then suddenly there's a loud CRASH! and a shower of sparks as the wall and ceiling panels explode, exposing wires from behind them. The perspective changes as Haruto falls to the ground, and after a stunned moment, everything is suddenly back to normal. There are no sparks, no exposed wires, no collapsed panels. The video ends just as the sound of approaching footsteps begins. ]

I do not know if others witnessed the same hallucination I did, or something else. But this should be impossible. Anyone with any insight would be appreciated.

That's interesting...
It's very useful to know that these incidents are happening in physical reality, rather than something that affects our minds.
I'm starting to feel more and more like reality is thin here.

I think I know what you mean. I was almost surprised that the event showed up in my recording

[uragiru]

We can't even call that a hallucination. Despite being temporary, the fact that you can record it proves it wasn't phantasmal.
So what, then... A temporal distortion?
Did you feel anything strange other than the tremors? Were you harmed in any way by the event?

Not by the event, no. I was knocked to the ground but unhurt.

[ Which was a relief, since he's already injured. ]
