TM Week 10-15

[ripley_8]

What happened the first time you got drunk?I've never been drunk. I know what drunk is, because Ripley knew -- Ripley who was first, but not Number One. This Ripley didn't have a number, until she was Number Zero

I've never been drunk, either, but that's because I knew what I was by the time I was old enough, and it would have been too dangerous.

Are you - you seem to be a prisoner of sorts. The ones who are holding you, are they human?

[ripley_8]

Humans took it out of me, but what's left isn't all human. That's why they're keeping me alive. They're curious, like humans always are. What is it that they say -- curiosity killed the cat? It didn't kill Jones, though. He and Ripley got away, the first time.

I'm not all human anymore, either, because they put something in. Operated again and again. They weren't humans, though, that's why I asked - but humans sold me to them. My brothers and sisters, of a fashion. Sometimes I don't know which species is worse.

[ripley_8]

Humans sell other humans. That's how they got the host bodies for the offspring. The humans think the offspring are nasty -- and they are. But you don't see them fucking each other over for a goddamn percentage.

What did the others want from you? The ones who operated on you, I mean.
