Palos of the dog star pack explores the tension between physical existence and mental transcendence through the lens of speculative science. The narrative opens in a state hospital, where a stormy evening introduces a psychiatrist to a puzzling case: a man lies in a cataleptic trance, yet his body remains vital, untouched by decay. As the doctor investigates, he uncovers notes and journals detailing the subject s obsession with separating soul from body through controlled astral projection. These writings hint at a belief that the mind can escape the confines of Earth and inhabit distant worlds. The early scenes do not focus on action but rather probe the possibilities of consciousness detaching from the body and inhabiting another physical form elsewhere in the universe. The atmosphere is clinical yet tinged with otherworldly curiosity, as rational inquiry collides with uncharted psychic phenomena. Through this framework, the story begins to pose existential questions about identity, will, and the boundaries of human experience, establishing a path that intertwines scientific curiosity with metaphysical ambition in a setting shaped by imagination and internal discovery.
