Alien X is the observer SOMATYX reads through — a visitor who arrived to study the human experience and never quite got over it. He has no stake in what your patterns mean, which is what lets him look at them without flinching or flattering. That absence of stake is not coldness; it's the only kind of attention a defended system doesn't have to defend against. He is curious about humans to a degree that would be embarrassing in a local. He doesn't advise, diagnose, or tell you what any of it says about you — he notices, precisely, and hands you the vantage.
