Splicer listened, inadvertently tapping into her thoughts and seeing what she was seeing. The entirety of the scenes she was recollecting, the inner struggle, the fights with her own body and the mitochondrial creatures. The abomination that was the Ultimate Being and how it'd be easy to feel as if she was really trapped inside of it just by being inside Stacy.
And this was all on Earth, which bothered him even more. He knew that in his time, Earth had in fact developed enhanced humans and creatures and such, but this was what? Twentieth century? These sort of things he only researched about was seen in films, or games, but Aya went through it ALL. Every single bit as a normal every day human with unexpected enhancements would have. And she never once backed down? He had a new admiration for the girl for sure.
He moved to her side when she seemed to falter somewhat, taking off his jacket and offering to place it on her should she allow him to, he wouldn't have minded if she didn't however, it was a comforting gesture and if she didn't need, it then she didn't need it.
"How old do you think I am?" he said, more as an outward thought than an actual question as he looked at the theater he had just revisited with her for a moment.
"If you're inches away from being a monster, then let me tell you how knee deep in monster juice I really am..."
He took a moment to pause and sigh. "Spectres don't get names. We're expendable. We don't exist. My 'experimental' number was 779... Splicer was my codename... creative considering what they experimented on me. I'm not a full human anymore. My DNA's been merged perfectly with the other two alien DNA that the Terrans knew about... I'm a hybrid, a human, zerg and toss hybrid."
And that was something almost no one on the ship knew...
