"I knew from the start this was supposed to be a sci-fi with aliens… but I never expected to actually run into one. Like, ever."
Blake had always figured that, at most, the government owned the DNA... just samples, fragments, whatever they could extract and weaponize. Not the aliens themselves.
Which, well, now that he thought about it, was kind of a stupid assumption.
Of course they'd be on this planet.
They wouldn't just leave something like that out there, floating around in space, completely unmonitored.
And now that he knew for a fact that they were here, it wasn't exactly shocking that he'd end up seeing one eventually. Inevitable, even.
He was involved with the main cast, after all. That alone practically guaranteed he'd get dragged into all the weird, dangerous, completely-not-normal stuff.
Still… it didn't look like what he'd imagined.
Not even close.
It wasn't even humanoid.
