“Thud!”
I was back inside the ship. The sensor interface had
retracted back into the top of the chair.
“Squeeeeeeal!” Breathing, tearing metal.
I could hear something moving in the ship, rustling
across the floor.... But I saw nothing. The sound kept moving
suddenly; “hopping” around the ship. The planet – which I
now knew to be named Yuggoth – had planted 808 grams
of a entity on the ship, and had animated it through contact
with my mind. I had a new friend.
“Squeeeeeeal!”
It hurt my ears. I put my left hand up to the side of my
head – it came away bloody. I was now deaf in my left ear.
More rustling noises were hopping around the ship, but getting closer to me.... But still I saw nothing.
“Squeeeeeeal!”
And the rustling was inside my head.
***
I.... Am on my way..... Back to Earth now....
Yuggoth inh’rth ggrammhan! Ggrammhan inh’rth
Earth!
