Someone alien - shaped and proportioned like a man with blue-black hair swept back, wearing an unadorned white uniform with black boots. But his skin was a pale blue, and his eyes - his eyes were unmistakable. There was no pupil or white in either. They both glowed a strange and featureless red, unreadable as his expression. He was - he was a great man, whoever he was.
Next to him was someone almost inconsequential, an older human officer in olive green with a white moustache, and on the great man’s other side there was a child-sized gray alien with nightmarish jaws, armed to the teeth. Maybe they were studying him as well, but the one in the tube saw only the great man looking at him, alien eyes glittering, motionless.
The one in the tube pressed both hands against the inside of the tube, a little surprised to see that his skin was a mixed, low-chroma beige-orange-pink. Human skin, incredibly wrinkled from a long time in this liquid, fingerprint whorls distorted, white nails long and with scalloped edges, like they’d never been trimmed.
