06- Kerenskij's illness. Proteena wakes up in a Nightmare.
 
On the way back we see Kerenskij drenched in sweat, like if he were ill. We close up following Hu's glimpse on a big drop of sweat rolling on professor's nose, we enter the drop just a moment before it's sucked up by a snore, we continue focusing a strange surface...
 

...that reveals itself to be a limitless grave of Cycledwellers, until we stop facing a kind of capsule while we hear repeatedly "Dead... dead... dead". Than we see a pair of hands that touch the capsule, and we hear the shouts "Alive!.. alive!" The capsule is Proteena, folded in a protective position, two soldiers help her to get on her feet. We hear no chorus, just fragments of phrases. Around, tall piles of corpses, empty shells of soldiers, scientists and "Modified".
 
The three survivors try to organize, they try to orientate, but nothing familiar is at sight. A strog wind blows intermittently above their heads. Suddenly, from the morbid surface, raises an hallucinating creature, something like a hairy zeppelin, whiplashing the air with long tails from the center of a crater. One of the soldiers slides down the skully slope, and dissolves on the skin of the zeppelin, the two others run for their lives, but are pinned by the horrible vision of herds of zeppelins pasturing on the remainings of the Cycledwellers.
