I remember this episode of the X-Files…
Different one, though this one was a banger too.
The spice must flow
I say we take off and nuke the entire site from orbit. It’s the only way to be sure.
Wondering the consequences of reviving a 5000 year old worm species. I would imagine this would never make it back to the wild.
46,000 year old it says
Whoops, teaches me to read better. Better finish my coffee…

This is awesome but also somewhat concerning
