E.4.2

You catch yourself on the edge as the ground collapses. Below, a stone cradle is filled with synthetic tissue, mold, and old cables. Sacs rupture inside and fungal dust billows upward. A large cocoon begins to breathe.

As you inhale, you sense a rhythm in the movement. You might be able to disrupt it before the cocoon opens.
