(Chi-Chian moves through the skull encrusted catacombs, home of the cockroaches.
She is greeted by baby worm trains.)
Chi-Chian
"Hmmm...the worm trains are procreating like mad; their spawn are everywhere. But where are the cockroaches?"
(Suddenly from behind appears the cockroach leader, Sebastian, an eight foot tall roach standing on two legs.)
Sebastian
"May I have this dance?"
(Chi-Chian hesitantly dances with him to a chorus of thoracic stribulation resembling a waltz.)
Sebastian
"You always did dance well, Chi-Chian"
(Chi-Chian looks concerned and tries to communicate with him as they dance)
Chi-Chian
"Sebastian, you are in danger. The Patahn Pahrr are mobilizing their forces. You must..."
Sebastian
"Chi-Chian, darling, we are insects. The Patahn Pahrr are humans. Their machinations are not my concern. It is ...a human matter."
Chi-Chian
"Not so, Sebastian! They mean to destroy your colony. They are under the command of a race of evil insects intent on ruling New York. You have to move the nest while you still can and prepare to defend yourselves!"
(They stop dancing)
Sebastian
"Chi-Chian, allow me to show you something."
(He leads her to the nest, a cavern filled with translucent amber eggs.)
Sebastian
"For millions of years my kind has lived in the shadows, persecuted by humanity, victims of institutionalized genocide. And yet, time after time, we have scurried out from underfoot and survived. We are peaceful creatures. It is what separates us from humanity. I will not throw that away by engaging the Patahn Pahrr in war. Violence is not our way. Nor was it your fathers."
