Huh. That's refreshingly honest.

I can think of three ways out:

- We all get eaten by worms.

- Some of us flee into space, and the rest get eaten by worms.

- The Chtorran ecology, when left alone, turns out to develop into a complex intelligence which is willing and able to converse with us. It then feeds us to the worms.

I'm betting on number three.
