I really liked the no weapons fight, because it made me feel that it really was the most important mission, as in they weren't even prepared for it, but they threw their lives at it with all they've got, courage. The lack of faces also turned my feelings that way.
The only problem I experienced was when the old crystal individual was showing the visions to the rest of his people, I couldn't always figure out, what the image was, I think because it was all in one color.

Man, I liked this a lot! Definitely one of the more engrossing shorts I've seen in the open round!

Nice conflict, the animation you we're able to complete was spread evenly (though obviously I'd love to have seen more), and the music carried the tone and arc perfectly!

Here's hoping we'll all get to see you in the next round!
