Gemini Prompt: Inside a mist-filled chamber, an alien with gray, mottled skin and enormous black eyes stands rigid, staring forward. Its jaw shifts subtly as it gathers spit inside its mouth, cheeks and throat tightening with quiet pressure. A moment later, the tension breaks: a heavy strand of drool slips free, hanging and stretching in the cold light. The alien remains perfectly still, unblinking, as if the act of drooling was deliberate.
