Physically, the vessels were tall, muscular, and exquisitely pale. Their skin possessed no discernible flaws, and, for all intents and purposes, it appeared that they lacked hair altogether. The one currently before him appeared exactly as every other vessel did, as it did not make sense to have individual and unique bodies if they would simply be carrying out the will of a greater collective mind. In fact, if a creator were to design the most efficient, durable—yet altogether uninteresting—bipedal being, he might have constructed a vessel. The one notable feature that each alien possessed, however, was in their eyes, where gold rings concentrically radiated out from their pupils and terminated at the edge of their irides. The only known human analog of this anatomical quirk was found in patients suffering from a rare condition called Wilson’s disease, where copper precipitates in the eyes and organs of those affected due to their inability to excrete said element properly. Human physicians could not confirm their suspicions as, at least on record, no vessel had ever been examined medically.
