With nowhere else to go, I begin the climb. Before long, I clear the last flight of stairs, finding the door to the alien already opened and waiting. Carefully, I begin walking towards it, scanning my surroundings for threats as I go. And as I enter, I see the alien in the flesh again. He stood at the far end of the room, his connecting threads spread out along the floor like cables. His hand rested on a nearby railing as he looked out through the window at the environment outside, the rain continuously beating against the glass all the while.
