"Hey, I'm not a flimsy organic, those two aren't flimsy organics, we're all in the same boat here!"

Says Phelaholiim as the two 'Astatines' spray a fine, grey, sticky dust onto you using small, tentacle-held devices.

The tunnel you are in is long and straight and round, presumably made up of concrete with metal support rings, it is about three metres wide. The round tunnel is cut in half by a horizontal metal grid, which gives you a flat surface to walk on; a long strip running the length of the tunnel, into the distance both ways, glows with a dim white light.

"It's not that negotiations failed, it's that negotiations had to start in the first place. Do you know what kind of delays that causes? And how much such delays can cost? What made it more infuriating is that even the tunnel dwellers didn't want to negotite. We were legally obliged to!"

The tunnel steepens until there is basically a waterfall. The water from the fall is coming out of a wide hole blocked by simple aluminium bars; beyond the bars there is light; even brighter than the light the drone detected from outside when in the pit. Most importantly, you can hear a conversation in an alien language.

The door opens obligingly, albeit with more alarms from the second module. Outside, there is an aircraft virtually a few kilometres in front of you, still travelling at many times the speed of sound but slowing down into a very fast (and very close) landing. It will be upon you in seconds.

It is silver and lozenge-shaped, with three large pivoting thrusters; two at the back and one embedded in the underside. There are a few protrusions, which are presumably aeirals and such.
