We moved through 35 and traversed long red corridors of dead rock until at last we stood in a very large hall, a hall surrounded by charts and maps, and strange machines and instruments. In the center there was a long table at which sat nine very aged men, all unlike each other. One was tall and thin, and with a pointed head, a conical head.

Well perhaps humanoid would be a better word with which to describe them. They were all human, but some were more human than others.
