The thing that skitters in does not look human. It resembles a crab more than anything else, with a flattened sphere of a body, smooth and gleaming white, the surface interrupted only by the complicated socketing for the short and curving limbs that ring it. It skitters back and forth, tapping on the floor, the wall, desks, anything it can touch, trying to catch someone's attention.
Anyone's attention.
