I'm sure astronauts are trained in scary shit resistance like they have to listen creepy sounds and read cosmic horror stories so they don't go insane beholding the absurdity of the endless void

I always thought they are rather choosen for their spatial orientation combined with lack of imagination.

porky-happy "Yup, no worries Butch, it's behaving exactly as intended."

astronaut-2 "Wait, really? This is some seriously freaky shit!"

porky-happy "Well of course it is! you didn't think the signal to call Yog-Sothoth to your fiery blood sacrifice was going to sound pleasant, did you?"

astronaut-2 "Our WHAT?!"

porky-happy "Oh yeah, that was always the plan. Send you guys up, lure him out, then use his transcendence of space-time to actually move crews and cargo. I mean, you rode the thing, you can't possibly still think we were planning to use them at scale!"

porky-happy 'but think of the cost savings.. if something goes wrong we can say it's Havana syndrome'

I created the Event Horizon to reach the stars, but she's gone much, much farther than that. She tore a hole in our universe, a gateway to another dimension. A dimension of pure chaos. Pure... evil. When she crossed over, she was just a ship. But when she came back... she was alive! Look at her, Miller. Isn't she beautiful?

Holy shit lol

The ship is calling SOS on its own

[–] [email protected] 26 points 2 months ago (1 children)

It's trying to tempt them to take a ride back to earth on it where it'll explode on reentry.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 2 months ago

Can't wait to hear about how it's rcs starts firing SOS in morse code

That's so spooky. It has to be unnatural it's happening at perfectly even intervals? Bi-product of some other machinery operating on-board causing speaker interference? Can't you just turn other stuff off one by one until you find the thing doing it? The only thing you can't turn off is the oxygen stuff surely?

[–] [email protected] 24 points 2 months ago

Sure, by all means; I won't stop you from going alone into the haunted space ship.

Samus is gonna respond to their distress signal any minute now

I saw someone else described it sounding a lot like what a Chinese astronaut in 2003 heard. Essentially it's the walls of the starliner having a differential in pressure, and the metal walls are "popping" in and out repeatedly.

Space submarines confirmed

And the astronaut is just cool, calm, and collected. As one should, to be an astronaut.

It sounds like a feedback loop between the microphone and the speaker.
