TRANSCRIPT

On the surface of a remote and frozen planet, a lone researcher
named Sarah watches as dark spots form on the exterior wall
of her laboratory.
The spots slide down the wall and coalesce into a puddle when they reach the floor. As if directed, this puddle moves towards Sarah.
Sarah makes hurried notes before jumping up on a chair.
When the puddle reaches her chair, it forms vertical tendrils and
climbs up the chair\\u2019s legs.
