Turtle Robert is just... walking around the village now, probably heading back to his Community Building, or maybe out doing some mundane task as his turtle self. He's mostly gotten used to being a turtle. Mostly. Hopefully he isn't breaking chronology doing this.
But when he sees Mulder's new body, galloping through the streets towards the forest, and hears the voice in his head - like with Winry Rockbell's form - he stops, dead, and turns to look. What...?
Blue? His colour spectrum vision is off, to be sure, but blue?]
... My word...
What an amazing non-human sapient. [Don't mind the giant anthropomorphic mutant red-eared slider staring at you, Mulder-as-Andalite.]

[Since he's not very that used to this form, he's not fully accustomed to the fact that he's still communicating by telepathy.]
< Another turtle, like the one I talked to the other day? Or given this experiment, he could be anyone... >

... Ah, the species you are currently is also a telepathic one. Most fascinating...
I am only temporarily a turtle... Normally I am a homo sapiens sapiens, but the Malnosso apparently have a sense of irony. [Robert smiles weakly.] But I do know the other turtles in Luceti... quite well, in fact. [And that little smile gets a bit more shy. One of the aforementioned turtles, the purple-mask-wearing one? That's his boyfriend.]
I take it that this is not a species from your world?

[Mulder is now trying to get himself used to communicating like this for the time being. It's not so bad, since in this form it's just... natural to him.]
< Oh, so you're familiar with the turtles? I had an interesting chat with one of them when I was settling in here. As for whatever I am... We don't have anything like this where I'm from. Although I have seen some pretty weird stuff in my line of work, this is pretty out there, even for me. I'm normally as human as they come, myself. >

< I'm going to guess that whatever this is, he or she wasn't originally like that. Very interesting looking creature, though... >

[Staaaaaare.]
...what are you?

< Wait, so you can hear me!? ...Must be some kind of telepathy... > [Mulder is just accepting of this explanation without question.] < I've always wanted to try being a telepath for a while. This is pretty cool. Except, I have NO IDEA what I'm supposed to be. Some kind of alien life form, I suspect... Wait, that voice... You're really Terra? >

And then there's the fact that it won't be visible unless Mulder happens to have seen death...]

< Huh. I don't know if this one is alien or maybe some kind of spirit-creature... but whatever the case, there's something very ominous about it. >

I'm hardly a spirit.

[Not that Mulder is any less weird-looking at the moment. By earth human standards anyway.]
