"Wait, show me that telemetry again. Calculate the exact location of our alleged alien contact." Observer Latimah was almost breathing down her apprentice's neck. Not because she wanted to be close to him (although she did), but because she had a suspicion about the data she had just reviewed.

Allehandro took a deep breath as he reviewed the telemetry. "The landing zone… It's right where…"

"Should we report our findings?" Allehandro asked.

"Why draw attention to ourselves?" Latimah asked. "Everyone will see whatever the cameras on our missile pick up. No one will ever bother with our data - even if we somehow make it out of this. Do you really want a lot of people looking closely into our lives at this point?"
