Hooked up to some wires from his head, he sits there in silence as humans walk around and talk about him. He knew what was happening, they do this all the time. Learning and probing information that he thinks to make him one of them.

“Excuse me, I want to talk with that human there.”

He points his finger at you. Expression unchanging, but this was something that he’s never done before.
