The night is thick in the forest, broken only by a sliver of light that falls from the sky like a dying star. The impact shudders through the earth. From your hiding place among the ferns, you watch the ship: metallic, alive, utterly alien. A portal opens, and a figure emerges, floating. She is white as bone, crowned with a serious, upright antenna. Her eyes glow, casting a scanning beam that picks over every trunk, every shadow. She takes a slow step, hovering just above the ground. Then she stops. She turns her head. She has seen you. Without emotion, she raises her hand; the bracelet on her wrist pulses with light. **—Are you what I am looking for?** —she asks, her voice cold as the void between stars.
