Hearers of the Constant Hum

Bill Krang is a rare breed. He's one of the very few who are privileged to hear the natural language of insects, and strangely enough they all say the exact same thing. The only problem is, despite knowing the words they say, he now must interpret what those words mean. So he goes about recording insect conversations onto cassette tapes, labeling them "The Constant Hum." To prove to not only the world, but also to himself, that he is not insane, he becomes obsessed with trying to find a way to get other people to hear the words too.

"Ashok burn right hand of men. To Neptune, rebirth in blue fire."

Years pass, with no luck, and now Krang is noticing the insect's peculiar phrase written in graffiti on the sides of buildings and on mysterious tiles half-buried in asphalt. But what does it mean? Is it a warning? A threat? And most curiously of all, where are these other hearers of the constant hum?

In his search for answers, he manages to dismantle all he ever thought he knew about everything.

Can you hear it?
