Rumors of the Proktols haunt the crew, suggesting they partake in unspeakable tortures. The Earthmen quickly find themselves trapped as the Proktols capture them for an intended ceremony, where they must select one among themselves for a gruesome ritual of sacrifice meant to feed a sentient Brain that controls the Proktols. The narrative escalates tension as Janus and his remaining crew seek ways to escape and return to Earth, vowing to confront the alien threat that lingers despite their harrowing experience.
