Commission of KickahaOta's character Sikah going through his early career at Vulcan Automata.

His shape now very strange and not directly associated with an existing animal, fit to dig and long term missions he is set out.

Much later Sikah ends up in a role he never knew existed for Vulcan Automata, a task they keep extremely secret, spying on his original people.

He hides long term in the ground nearby controlling numerous proxies which the kangaroo rats are completely indistinguishable from mundane ones, at least with the local's current tech.
