In the distance, the massive blue creatures stopped running away.

All the world seemed to pause, as if the creature had stopped time itself.

The creature stopped moving its legs, running out of energy in Kirk's shadow.

But on this day one creature did not stop.

The forward creature suddenly became aware of him and stopped.

Then, as if it was being told what to do, the creature stopped moving, and its blind head tipped to one side.

Then, about three meters from the farm, the creature stopped.

The creature stopped again and turned back to regard him.

You couldn't tell where one creature stopped and the next began.

Almost at once, the creature stopped, and then did the most extraordinary thing.
