FROM A DISTANCE, THE SOUND OF HUNDREDS OF LITTLE VOICES ALL CHANTING THE SAME WORD CAN BE HEARD.
SURPRISINGLY, IT'S NOT A DEAFENING ROAR EITHER, DESPITE THE FACT THAT EVERYONE SEEMS TO BE DOING A LOT OF SHOUTING.
THEN, THEY APPEAR.
HUNDREDS OF LITTLE BLACK SHAPES-THE BIGGEST ONLY ABOUT A FOOT TALL-SWIRL THROUGH THE AIR. THEY LOOK LIKE SYMBOLS, EACH ONE WITH A SINGLE EYE.
THEY ALL SAY "UNOWN.... UNOWN... UNOWN..."
THEN, AS THOUGH ON CUE, SEVERAL OF THEM GATHER TOGETHER INTO FORMATION.
WAIT. THOSE SYMBOLS LOOK SUSPICIOUSLY LIKE LETTERS, AND THE FORMATION LIKE WORDS.
FINALLY, ONCE THEY'RE ALL IN POSITION, A MESSAGE CAN BE READ [ASSUMING YOU CAN MAKE SENSE OF THE SHAPES].
