Story Stuff/Desert

(Inspired by something the user salarua put in the ampersandia discord general channel, and dune, and maybe alien) I woke up, sand got in. All the webs around me were covered in sand. I don't know why we make webs—i don't think we even make them, think it's just a bug population—but it's always a sign that humans can get in. I got up and cleaned all the sand off. I haven't even introduced myself yet. We don't have names, only numbers, but i like to call myself Dawn, named after my favorite human-made song Dawn Chorus. I often think about how we are sentient. We're pretty much amalgamations of dead meat left on the sand that has somehow evolved into life. I know we're not literally dead meat from fallen animals, but that's basically what we are. Actually, i think the bugs make webs out of left over meat we make. Also, why is the meat white? The meat i usually find outside is red. Because we're just meat, we can freely change how we look; and because we kinda have Brains we can just become other species. If we find their meat though. I have been planning on invading a human ship ever since it landed a couple days ago. We usually do that together, but i'm the only one adventurous near it, plus i think i'm fine. I also recently found out that you don't even need to find dead meat to become someone else. If you've already found the meat and it's part of you-ish, you can just become it. I became a scorpion or whatever they're called on this planet. Not saying i was a human, but i actually have no idea what these stuff are called and i just learned from human notes. That's also how i learned english. While i was walking over there i thought about why we're covered in a weird film of some kind. Probably to cover the meat. When i was in eye distance, i became one of the scorpions and scuttled through a tiny hole. Becoming a creature is somehow less and more painful than you think. It was dark, but i was able to turn on the flashlight that was now embedded in my skin. I was able to scurry into the main entrance and turn normal again to open the door before becoming a scorpion. The reason i entered the hole was so i didn't need to deal with humans. I entered the main hull thing. I immediately tried looking for a morgue. There was on according to a map, but it was all the way on the other side of the ship. Never fear, the holes are here. I found it and started morphing into it. The thing is, i need something else. Near where the morgue was, was a stash of exoskeletons for turning into humans, and fake skin. All i had to do was go over there, without going through holes. It was only two of the most crowded hallways on the ship, how hard could it be? Actually, easy. I had read notes about when the hallways get less used and it was about that time. All i had to do was wait about 4 minutes. I filled that time by thinking about why lower class people like me look like many pieces of meat, while higher class individuals don't, they actually look like a species. I went over there and grabbed an exoskeleton, wrap around it, and put the skin on. All of this was for getting more info by talking to them. I spoke with like 4 people that looked important and the leader about some very neash things and went home with it. I turned in my notes when i got home and a couple hours later was told i needed to come in the leader cave. I had been in there before, but i was asked to enter through a different entrance. One that was tightly guarded. While i entered i felt weird squishing, warping, and other stuff, as well as webs, and skin coverings. When i came out i was inside the leaders den, actually looking like a species. They congratulated me on 25 successful data collections and awarded me with actual skin stuff. Unfair. Everyone should get it, and that's why i wrote this. For me, it was easy to get 25 data captures, but for other people: no. I hope you enjoyed my plea to the government to make people enjoy having this because why lock it down?
