With a slam a beam is knocked into the air... only to fall back down again. The roaring becomes desperate and despondent before Horvath's own command seems to have the desired effect. There's still rumbling and deep, urgent noises, but there's less movement among the debris. Until, finally, a thick grey arm reaches out through a newly made hole and the being calls out again.

The strained creaking makes the children cry out in fear, but as they quieten down, one of them hears Danny. A small two thumbed hand grips one of the broken beams, and big, weeping eyes peer out through the gap at him.

"Mama? Where is mama? It's so dark here! " Just as the child tries to move, there's a judder and dust falls around them. With a squeal, the alien pulls back again. From behind the wreckage come big, gulping sobs and a small wail: "I'm scared!"
