In addition to some unsettling images and sounds, featured throughout the clip are messages, starting with a quote from Sun Tzu, a famous Chinese general, military strategist, writer, and philosopher:
If your opponent is of choleric temper, seek to irritate him. Pretend to be weak, that he may grow arrogant.

We come in many forms.
We are everywhere.
A feeling in the dark.
A message in the stars.
Ghosts in the machine.
What, are we?
