"Everyone here?"

"Looks like it. What are they, anyway?"

"I've never seen weapons like that before."

"We can hear you, and we can understand everything you say!"

"What the--? I'm hearing voices in my head!"

Their voices seem to travel up from the ground, along your legs, and through your very bones to resonate in your brain.

"This life breeder is ours, and we will have it, purged of all encumbrances!"

"Purged of all...encumbrances?"

"I think they mean us."

"They mean to eradicate every last trace of our existence!"

"Princess, you know anything about them?"

"No more than you do, I'm afraid."

"Guess we fight now, ask questions later. After all, it looks like we've been taken for this ship's combat personnel."

"Well, who says we have to report for duty?"

"But if we do nothing, those...aliens will take over the ship."

You don't know what they're after. But they are clearly intruders bent on taking this ship and killing every last one of you.

Leaving them at large would mean abandoning this vast, spacefaring cradle of life to some ill fate.

"Aw, hell! Looks like we've gotta fight 'em whether we want to or not!"

It's a dead end. You've been cornered in a room overlooking the universe.

It's a dead end.
