Walk up and into the black dot

You turn away and look around. Everything is VERY high tech, and there
are land-speeders going everywhere. You are only in a small building,
and the whole city looks like one building.
You shakily ask the creature:
"Wh-what is wrong with you? Your back I m-mean."
"Ooooh, nooothiinnng. I aaam ssssimmplyy geneticaly mutated: the
fffoouundinnngg fathers like to have control of ussss. There ARE
normal humanssss, but they are very loyal, aaannnd VEEERRYYY
luuckyyy."
"Where is the Learning Circle?" you stupidly ask.
"It is- iiiinnn- tttttthhhhheeee- Aaaaa-aaaaaa-aaaaaaallllyyyyyyyyy--
oooooooofffffff--- the Andaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrgggggssssssss!!!!!
NNNOOOO!!! RRRUUUNNN- huma- the- ar- gettin- con-trol- of... Must
not... Let.......... Go......."
He gasps, and his eyes roll back. The back of his eyes are totally
red. He stares emtily ahead, then opens his mouth... Huge feelers
crawl out, and the creature shrieks loudly. You cover your ears, and
feel a piecing headache. You see two droids look at you. It holds up
it's head and mechanicly yells:
"CHILD ALERT! NOT IN [LEARNING CIRCLE]! LOCATE CHILD> FIND
NAME> RELOCATE TO <RE-LEARNING CIRCLE>! FIND NOW!"
A lot of droids go racing about the city. THe creature shudders, then
turns normal.
"You musssst rrruuunnn, ch-ch- ild. They will do bad things to
you. FLEE TO THE GASTRONONNY MOUNTAINS, AND SSEEEKKK....
YYYAAAAARRRRRGGGGGHHHH!!!"
The feelers from his mouth come out more. They turn and poke into his
eyes. He shreiks loudly, and then the feelers suck up his eyes. They
go up his nose, and pull out his brain, then suck out all the juice. A
small sack pops out of the feelers, and close around the brain,
preserving it. The body collapses, and a huge spider with feelers on
his eye-spot, and stalks containing eyes on his fore-head area,
emerges from the mouth. The spider clicks loudly and angrily starts to
scurry towards you. What do you do?
Your bolder side emerges and you walk into the black circle. The blue
wall comes down around you. You touch the side, but your finger only
tingles for a bit. You can't get out.
You lookat your hand, and almost faint when you see through it.
Everything gets a little hazy, and you black out.
You wake up in a round, glass cage. It is full of a liquid, but you
can still breath, and you aren't wet. You see a human walking towards
you. He stops and turns around, to talk to another human. You gasp,
and almost barf, when you see his back: It is greenish, with no
clothes, no butt, and two holes by the back of his shoulders. Little
insects, horrible, ugly, disgusting, crawl in and out of the holes.
Every once in a while, one crawls off, and then comes back carrying
something.
He waves off the other creature and turns towards you. He
approaches, presses a button on the bottom of the "cage",
and taps his foot. The water from the cage drains , and the walls
retract. He opens his mouth to talk, and you shudder: each tooth has a
feeler that squirts out green liquid in to the back of his throat, and
also moves around. He talks in a slow, drawling voice:
