He listened to her questions while they are. He swallowed the mouthful that he had and paused momentarily to chose his words. “In a sense, we are like you. We were once one of their experiments much the same as you were. We were not spliced with the DNA of animals though, we are spliced human and alien DNA. We were among the first along with five others. I am the only one to survive.”<br/><br/>He took another bite then continued on. “The other experiments of our time were abominations. They were unstable both mentally and physically. We were the first success. They tried many times in the years afterwards to duplicate us but they never succeeded. Eventually they gave up trying to splice alien and terran DNA. Their methods were crude in the early days and for many years we were their only test subject.”<br/><br/>“Eventually they found success once again with the joining of beast and human. They had unlocked some sort of secret to success and then there were many, too many to contain. They began to escape because of human error and otherwise. They were very hard to track and capture. They offered us a deal. By that time we knew we were a freak and that this was the only place that we would ever be accepted so we became their hunter. Being under their thumb was better than being under their knife, in so many words.”<br/><br/>“Seeing you fight back made us remember when it was us on the table. It made us remember the fire that had once burned within us. We could have escaped any time we wanted for many years but we had no reason to. Where would we go? What would we do? We would have no purpose. You gave us a purpose. We thank you for that. Together we can free the others.”
