The man can't get out. And I can't help him without falling in myself. But the creatures ignore him, like we would ignore a farm animal.

I get a close up view of the aliens. They seem to be assembling a mechanical creature with lots of arms. The aliens themselves don't have arms or legs, and they move so slowly. They clearly rely on machines to do their work.

They just ignore us! Should we try to communicate? Or should I run away while I still can? Or do something else?
