They sent me down to meet the leader. I know this is crazy but it seems to be our only hope. I’m on my nanoraft rushing to the left axillary node. They insisted on meeting there even though I explained the dangers.

I saw it ahead perched casually on a membrane. It didn’t look alive. I wondered what was in that alien mind. I had been sent to make a truce. This is crazy. How am I supposed to communicate with that thing? I saw it moving. It looks like an ancient lunar lander.

It pushes a molecule toward me. Ah, that’s the game. I push a polymer back at it. This goes on for some time.

I think we are making progress.
