Ahhhhhhh!
:08:15
Mum?
:08:18
Mum?
:08:21
Mum?
:08:34
I've kept this for years,
:08:36
because someday
it will be up to you.

:08:39
I don't want you to be afraid.
:08:41
I want you to understand.
:08:46
Knowledge is the only weapon
we've got left.

:08:48
In the beginning, it was
ignorance that destroyed us.

:08:51
I saw the first, but soon
the world saw millions.

:08:55
No one knew how they spawned
so fast.

:08:56
They swarmed like locusts,
:08:58
burning everything
in their path,

:09:00
driven by one purpose...
to feed.

:09:03
Even then, we couldn't believe
they were real.

:09:06
Ancient man had made them
into myths,

:09:09
but nature had made something
far more terrible.

:09:12
Too late,
our scientists discovered
their true identity...

:09:15
a species which had burned
the dinosaurs to dust,

:09:19
whose ash had brought on
ice ages,

:09:22
who, in eons past, had
scorched the world clean
of life,

:09:28
waiting for the Earth
to replenish itself,

:09:31
5... 4... 3...
...waiting to start
their cycle anew.

:09:34
...2... 1.
...Our weapons shot fire
back at them,

:09:36
yet for every one of them
killed,

:09:38
a hundred took its place.
:09:40
They seemed invulnerable.
:09:44
We could only look on
as our leaders used

:09:46
their greatest arsenal
to destroy them.

:09:49
...But in the end,
we only helped them,

:09:51
till the world burned
:09:53
and the few of us
that were left fled the cities,

:09:57
found shelter where we could.
:09:59
...You have to understand
our past
