TRANSCRIPT START

(STATIC. A man's voice, strained but attempting calm.)

VOICE: …is this thing on? Alright. Testing, testing. This is… this is KX-7. Monitoring the… the fluctuations. They're increasing. Exponentially. This isn't solar activity, folks. Not… not a magnetosphere hiccup. This is… deliberate.

(A low, persistent hum begins in the background, like a distant, distorted choir.)

VOICE: Hear that? It started… roughly an hour ago. Just a faint thrum. Now it's… it's almost physical. My fillings are aching. And the colours… the colours are wrong. Too bright, too deep. Like the world’s been… recoloured by a madman.

(The hum swells, occasionally punctuated by crackling and brief, unidentifiable clicks.)

VOICE: They’re saying it’s nothing. Just… just a new weather pattern. Hah! Weather. I’m seeing things move in the periphery. Like black oil. Just… slipping. Between the shadows. No. No, not shadows. They _are_ the shadows.

(A gasp. The voice becomes more frantic.)

VOICE: It’s in the signal! It's _inside_ the signal! I tried to filter it, but it… it learned. It’s talking to me. Not words. Not… not sounds. It’s… it’s a _feeling_. Like cold hunger. Like… like a thousand tiny needles beneath my skin. The buzzing… it’s getting louder. It’s _inside_ my head!

(The voice cuts off abruptly, replaced by a deafening, wet, grinding noise, then total static.)
