"Home Invasion can be a daunting and stressful prospect. This video tape is intended to ease your stress, and prepare you for home invasion, step by step, should the moment arise."
"Keep in mind...
Windows and doors are the most commonly used entrances during home invasions. Ensuring that these areas are locked may prevent or slow home invaders, allowing for authorities to be called."
"A number of security systems can be installed in a home, including cameras, motion detectors and alarms. All of these systems may be disabled via blunt force."
"As most home invasions take place at night, sufficient lighting can successfully stop a home invader before they even reach the house."
"The following is a list of commonly used methods of entry during home invasions."
"Window Entry:
Breaking a window can create easy access into the home. Note that this will cause noise that may alert prey."
"Audio Luring:
Vocalizing or making percussive noise against a door may cause prey to be drawn to it, allowing for easy access into the home."
"Burrowing:
Burrowing underneath the home's foundation can create access into the home from below, allowing for easy access between nests."
"The following will explain what to do upon entry into a home."
"Locate prey."
"Incapacitate prey."
"Enter prey via proboscis."

Lore[]
The video begin as an educational PSA of what to do during or to prevent a home invasion. It goes over useful advice, such as locking possible entrances, and deploying recording systems.
However, it then, very abruptly shifts to helping the home invader, with how to enter, and using audio luring "prey" to the door. It then suggests burrowing, which creates easy access to nests.
It then shows what to do when a human is encountered, to locate, incapacitate, and enter prey "through proboscis".
It then cuts to a person exploring a near-abandoned home, exploring through the vacant rooms, until he sees two humanoid-shaped masses of Roots. He then leaves and arrives in another room. In this room is a figure made of Roots. This is the final stage of Deep Root Disease. The infected person still has an eye remaining, and as it's revealed, is still alive, and cognizant enough to look at the camera.
The cameraman then finds a Woodcrawler, and then proceeds to run, but is pinned down by the creature in a hallway and is killed by the alien.
The tape then shows its ending card, and ends.

Trivia[]
- This episode reveals what one stage of Deep Root Disease looks like, but it is unclear if this is the final stage. In Shifting Tendons, another Deep Root Disease Victim can be seen, but looks completely different from the creature sitting in the chair in this episode.
- This is the second mention of Optica! Video.
- The house our cameraman is exploring is decorated similarly to the house used in gameplay demonstrations in Games for Kids, implying that these two videos were made/take place around the same time.
