After that, however, the video feed turns on to reveal a fairly young-looking, black-haired man backed into a very dimly lit corner somewhere. Like way too many of the recent arrivals, he also has circuit lines on his clothes, although his are green--and partially obscured by the hood pushed down around his shoulders. He looks both rather exasperated and perfectly comfortable in the near-total lack of light, and he doesn't seem to realize that other people might not be able to see him as well as he can see them.]
