Under the Skin 2013
This transmission follows an alien in a human body — a near-perfect infiltration unit piloting borrowed skin through a gray coastal region of Earth. She drives slowly. She observes. She speaks minimally. Males respond with curiosity, flattery, and little suspicion, even when invited into a dilapidated structure filled with inexplicable darkness and no furniture.
The infiltration strategy is simple: lure isolated males, walk them into a void, and extract their organic matter. No explanations are given. None are requested. Most subjects proceed willingly, distracted by the idea that they have been chosen for attention.
There is no clear dialogue about the mission’s objectives. The operation appears methodical, cold, and efficient — until the infiltrator encounters unexpected variables: kindness, vulnerability, and the strange, inconvenient pull of empathy. These inputs destabilize the mission.
Gradually, the unit begins to malfunction — not mechanically, but existentially. It wanders. It observes more closely. It attempts human interactions without predatory intent and discovers discomfort, rejection, and violence. The infiltrator eventually becomes the hunted, destroyed not by weapons but by human fear of what does not conform.
The transmission is slow, quiet, and deliberately unclear. Questions are posed visually. Answers are left under the surface — much like the humans.
Conclusion: Humans respond to what they want to see. They fill in blanks with desire, trust shapes over truth, and rarely question what feels like attention. But when the unfamiliar shows weakness, they often strike it.
This record confirms that Earth males can be harvested with little more than flattery and a stare — but emotional contamination is a known occupational hazard. Nebulon recommends armored empathy shielding before deploying field units. And no more vans. Too conspicuous.
