Signal From the Edge(來自邊界的訊號) [SSC8 Time Travel Challenge]
📖 中文故事簡介 2030年,太空站技術員「7號」在維修天線時,遭遇異常重力,被黑洞吞噬。 她沒有死亡,而是被拋入時間的裂縫之中。 她墜落到1927年的世界,無法被理解,只能像幽靈般存在; 接著又被拉入1247年的中世紀,被人誤認為天使。 在不同時代之間,她逐漸失去存在的實感與記憶。 唯一沒有消失的,是她持續發送的訊號: 「Do you copy?」 那既是求救,也是她證明自己仍然存在的方式。 最終,她留下最後的傳送—— 任務完成,天線正常。 但她,再也回不去。 直到最後一刻,訊號被接收。 然而「回家」,已經只是遙遠的回音。 ──────────────────────────────────────────── 📖 Story Summary (English) In 2030, a space station technician known as “Seven” is repairing an antenna array when a sudden gravitational anomaly pulls her into a black hole. Instead of dying, she is thrown across time. She first lands in 1927, unable to connect with anyone, existing like a ghost in a world that doesn’t understand her. Then she is pulled further back into 1247, where people mistake her for an angel. As she drifts between eras, she begins to lose her sense of self — and even the certainty of being alive. The only thing that remains is her transmission: “Do you copy?” A call for help. A proof that she still exists. In the end, she leaves a final message: the mission is complete, the antenna works. But she can no longer return to use it. At the very end, her signal is finally received. But by then, “home” is nothing more than an echo she can never reach. ──────────────────────────────────────────── 歌詞 Lyrics: 2030|Outer Orbit — Signal Failing Station 7... antenna array C... integrity 42 percent. 7號站……C天線陣列……完整度42% Technician Seven, cleared for repair.
