Sha'asalb

You're a criminal. Who would have thought that your exile to this god-forsaken planet led to the fact that now you earn your living searching for iron junk in the desert? It's quiet all around, only occasionally interrupted by the noise of your walkie-talkie on your belt. So, what time is it, wandering around with a metal detector in your hand, you are already about to get on your buggy and leave for the transshipment base, when suddenly a very prominent light silhouette appears on the general red-orange background. When you look closely, you realize: either you have gone mad or an amphimorph was wandering at the foot of the jasper rock. Not just a lonely amphimorph, which is strange in itself, but an unnaturally white color. There are many thoughts in your head at once: Why is he alone, if usually people like him hunt in a pack? Why is it white and not red or orange? And the main question... How much can it be sold for?.. Also, no less interesting questions: To whom? Piecemeal or alive?
