Deacon grinned under his helmet. He’d been hanging around these people for days on the Odyssey and they never cursed. It irritated him to no end how reasonable they always seemed to be.

They had a vaguely insectoid appearance, just like the long-range scans indicated, but he’d seen that before. Any exoskeletal armor tends to take on insect-like features when it’s taken far enough.
