Did I tell you I figured out

their first message?

The dot is you.

They want you.

And they shall soon have me.

I'm sorry,Hubbs,

it's not gonna happen your way.

Kendra.

Stop!

She's there.

That hill, the queen.

Hubbs, you can't do it.

Now come on, come on!

Queen!

Hubbs!

Hubbs!

Hubbs!

Hubbs!

Goddamn you.

Hubbs!

I would still like

to believe that given time

we could have come

to an understanding.

Some rational accommodation

of interests,

some agreement.

But that's not the way

it's going to be.

I've made some calculations

about their rate of expansion

using their intelligence and

their powers of organization,

and their network

of communications,

their poisons.

Their ability to adapt

genetically.

I believe that after

this test run now

they'll move rather quickly

into desert areas.

Taking over the countryside

first

then laying siege to towns

and cities.

I believe they will learn

as they advance,

anticipating our moves and

continue to stay a move ahead.

We have only one chance,

the counter attack

suggested by doctor Hubbs.

A direct assault

on their queen.

Jesus, I wish it wasn't me.

There you are.

They wanted...

Us.

We knew then,

we were being changed

and made part of their world.

We didn't know

for what purpose.

But we knew we would be told.
