Some meters away, Nick saw a being doing something to the biological machine.
One couldn't describe it as bipedal or quadrupedal.
It walked on several tentacles, which all had different lengths and widths.
However, the tentacles didn't feel like the tentacles of a squid or an octopus.
They looked quite clear and reminded Nick of the membranes of the biological machine.
If Nick had to associate the appearance and material of the tentacles with an animal, he would choose a weird insect.
The being was almost bereft of symmetry, with tentacles of different lengths sprouting out from seemingly random places.
The thickest ones were as thick as a human thigh, while the thinnest ones were a bit thinner than an average pinky.
All in all, Nick counted 17 tentacles, but he couldn't be sure that he found every tentacle.
As for the actual body of the being…
