We played with technology too powerful for humans to wield and opened a gateway to a parallel universe, on a dark world with a dying sun. The dominant lifeforms on this world are semi-sentient flying squid-like beings that invade the bodies of the first explorers. The offspring grow within the host, and take over its mind and body, mutating it physically.
But these entities fear the light, as well as fire. Why is this the case? One intrepid survivor, a scientist, decides to do some investigation on one of the dead entities.
What does he find?
