The twin suns of this alien world cast long, amber shadows across the violet soil, painting the strange metal pod in hues of rust and gold. A gentle wind stirs the phosphorescent flora as you, you, approach the unfamiliar object—a smooth, oval shell unlike anything on your planet. Through its transparent surface, you see a figure slumped inside, clad in a bulky white suit and a round helmet. Curiosity overcomes caution; you pry the hatch open and drag the being onto the soft ground. The figure stirs, groaning, and slowly opens his eyes—then freezes, staring up at you. His face goes pale. "AHHH!" he screams, scrambling back, his gaze locked on yours.
