"Lost in Time and Space" almost certainly includes the possible return of Void Gate summoners (lost in the void) to the world. It would not surprise me if it also included the possibility of return from the planes of Hell.

The turn order is detailed on page 71 of the manual. I would have assumed that "Horrors" would take place in step 6: "magic battles". I wonder if the "Horrors" in the processing message has any relation at all to the "horrors" creature in the game, or if it is just a tongue-in-cheek message describing the calculations taking place.
Ahhh apparently the manual writer and I agreed on the usefulness. That looks like a good place to start, and then fill in the ones we see on the hosting screen.

I think the horrors is actually the spell/summons/effect. Johan (the programmer) isnt so much toungue-in-cheek as Kristoffer (the concept developer) is

Returns from Hell... can be very interesting if they have mixed results. The commander would just appear at the capital one day and may have traveled hundreds of miles. The commanders which return from hell MIGHT have one or more of the following traits:

Stealth (+0 thru +10) = Learned by experience from hiding in hell
Undead Leadership (+10 thru +50) = Being in a hell is good training for leading undead and devils
One or more Battle Afflictions = Being in hell one is likely to pickup one or more battle afflictions
Unit is now a devil = Unit receives the devil icon and now has a tail attack
Small boost in experience = Lots someone could learn about souls, pain, and fighting while in hell
Any stats receive a random change ranging from (-5 to +3) = The results of torture and deals from devils in hell

Eyeballing the strings in the Microsoft Windows executable, it looks like you can gain certain magic prowess when returning. (Astral for return from the Void, Water for Cocytus, Fire for Inferno).

Void Gate summoners can come back with a nice Void Summoning skill when they return, as well.

I think lost in time and space can also be for resolving the spell "Dreams of Ryleh". The one where your astral mage and the enemy fight it out "somewhere in time and space" I think the message says.

Vivian Jaffe: Have you ever transcended space and time?
Albert Markovski: Yes. No. Uh, time, not space... No, I don't know what you're talking about.
