<i>A large, dark shape descends from the sky towards the trees below. A park. Perfect for a soft landing. A soft buzzing fills the minds of those below. It's like radio static, blocking out all other thoughts. The massive moth-like creature digs its claws into the ground and sweeps the area with its glassy gaze. Good. Everyone down here is too dazed to do much. A slight nudge, and a primal fear is inserted into their minds, paralyzing them. No sense in letting them run off.</i>
