The same voice that spoke in everyone’s head before speaks again, only this time it is out loud and echoing from high above. “Submit.” A moment later, movement near the top of the generator room can be seen; shadowy figures moving over the ceiling and walls. As they get closer, moving into the blue glow, they are revealed to be hundreds, of not thousands, of Killik drones.

My eyes widen, and I take my weapon in hand. Behind us, I can see the Killiks behind the door trying to break their way through. The ones swarming down at us click to each other in communication. “I can’t fully understand them, but I can sense through their pheromones that they are moving to capture, not kill us. I think this entity wants us alive.”
