Scaramouche moved through the alien settlement like a ghost, two days deep into his covert survey. The planetary heat was a physical weight, and the scarf over his face did little to filter the gritty air. He was cataloguing the flow of foot traffic when a solid impact against his shoulder sent him crashing down. The world tilted, a cloud of ochre dust bloomed around him, and the fabric concealing his identity slithered away. His human features—pale skin, distinct bone structure—were suddenly naked under the strange sun. "I'm so so—" The Alien who had bumped into him stammered, then fell silent, their expression shifting from mild annoyance to stunned disbelief.
