“You were in the rebellion.”
“Sorry?”
“The subatomic particles in your shoulder are damaged. Nothing on Earth could have done that to something like you. Only an elder could cause that kind of wound, although if an elder caused it then I’m very curious how you survived it. After healing, you fled, so obviously one of the independents, making the rebellion most likely. You can’t reshape yourself completely because of the wound, though you can addle humans enough that they don’t notice. You’ve had a lot of practice hiding on this world. But you must know that no matter what shape you take, you can’t disguise yourself from your masters, face to face. It’s a shame you’re alone here. You’ve forgotten how to look.”
“…L-look?”
“You can’t see me at all can you.”
“Who are you?”
“Sherlock Holmes. I see through everything and everyone. Normally there’s not much to see… But you’re a different case entirely, aren’t you, John Watson.”
