It was a long and arduous hour. Being unable to move even the slightest bit for such a time made time seem even longer than it was.
Yet Kan'na persisted. She had no choice in this matter. This was the fastest the machine could work to not have any errors. It might take another few weeks for them to make a faster working machine. It was easier and far quicker to just endure.

As the hour went to minutes, and then to second, the time only seemed to drag on further. As it was carving the last runes she felt seconds turn back into minutes. Until the machine stopped, and the fluid dissipated.
The machine shut down and Kan'na inhaled deeply. It was so freeing, and she could breathe once again! She took a minute just relishing in the feeling before moving her body. She flexed her body, testing for any form of resistance.
