AUDIO

ISO: "Hello, blackbox...I am almost out of oxygen. The Tailings have taken me into a Cicada wreck. I think they want me to show them how our technology works. They are very interested in Nahema's bacterial scanner. Too bad they crushed it when they took it from me! Still, a good chance to observe them up close.

"They are crawling directly on me, all over me...they have many limbs and complex mouthparts. And no sense of personal space. It is pitch dark. But I can hear their clattering...the snap of their claws."
