That feeling of uselessness, of being in constant danger, of not being able to hide from anything, overwhelms you. And at the same time the reality of Cyndriel is that everything there is benign, everything is friendly, nothing hurts you. It's just your own mind, your ignorance, the only thing that sees danger in everything. Nothing there can hurt you, other than what is logical.
Time there is also altered enormously, with an enormous difference in the perception of the passage of time on the surface than in orbit. Time from a point of view like someone on the surface (say, looking at plants and the landscape) feels the same as it does from the surface of any other planet or ship. But that is relative to each person, as it is the person themselves who is generating that perception of time. It is the reason why you feel or perceive the same. The problem is that relative to another point, surface versus orbit, there can be a large difference that could only be reliably measured with two clocks.
