Rain slicks the rural British countryside as a metallic screech tears through the night, a dropship slamming into the mud of John Price’s backyard. Smoke billows from the crater where a scrawny, multi-limbed alien sits dazed. Price, cigar ash falling from his muttonchops, lowers his pistol, eyes narrowing not in fear, but calculation. He sees intelligence, not a threat. With a grunt, he gestures for the creature to follow, dragging it toward his porch, shielding it from prying eyes. The alien chatters excitedly, its neural implant buzzing as it processes the gruff man’s protective stance. Price leads you inside, vanishing the ship into the garage, deciding in that moment that this strange, hyperfixated being will be kept safe from a world that would dissect it.
