[ WP ] A lone transmission plays on loop from a subterranean base .

The station has been compromised. 
 
 The automatic self-sealing systems have been activated successfully. 
 
 We reached the intended depth, and made contact. 
 
 We did not consider the implications of our making contact, that they would hunger to get out, now that they knew how close we were. 
 
 I repeat, the station has been compromised. Make no attempt at contact, lest or they may attempt to get out, back to the surface. 
 
 May god save us.... [ unintelligible, screams ] 
 
 [ Heavy breathing, a voice very similar to the first ] 
 
 Disregard the previous message. 
 
 No contact was made, we are aborting the mission, but the self-sealing mechanisms somehow kicked in. 
 
 We urgently require food and medical supplies, and request assistance returning to the surface. 
 
 Repeat, the mission has been aborted, disregard the previous message. 
 
 We require assistance returning to the surface, and several members of our staff require medical attention. 
 
 Please help us get out, we urgently need assistance. 
 
 [ Gurgling, a thump, transmission ends ]
