The next day found them doing the same thing.
As well as the next.
And the next.
The scientific method and data modeling.
Hoenikker spent the nights watching one video in particular. The taking of Test Subject #3.
Heâd been through the data dozens of times, but never tired in disassembling her destruction. Which was strange, considering what theyâd once shared. At first, heâd felt concerned about his lack of emotional response. But then, after watching it, heâd felt as if sheâd gotten what she wantedâ some semblance of finality to her place in the universe.
Monica had never really been happy. Sheâd always needed someone else to make her complete. That sheâd once chosen him to complete her showed her own inability to make the correct decisions. A broken bolt twisted by a broken tool into a broken systemâdoomed to failure.
In the end, her death had been more similar to the womanâs than the manâs, in that she never saw it coming. Sure, when the egg had released the face-hugger, sheâd stood her ground. Balled fists down at her sides, straight backed, sheâd only flinched a little as the thing attached itself to her, wrapping its tail three times around her slender neck. Instead of falling, sheâd backed toward the ledge near the back of the containment room and sat, resting her fists in her lap as she leaned on it for balance.
Her stoicism was what kept him coming back to the video. That she seemed so accepting of her situation demonstrated how much sheâd changed in the intervening years. Heâd rewatched the first half of the video no less than twenty times, trying to see if there had been any other reaction he could discern, but as often as heâd watched, he couldnât see any.
The second half of the video was hardest to watch.
She hadnât fared as well in the last three minutes and forty-seven seconds.
The face-hugger had been long gone and her serotonin levels were maxed when the thing inside of her began to move. She felt it, and tore her shirt away. Her breasts hung heavy, nipples pointed down and no longer in the bloom of youth. Heâd known and mapped them when they were younger, but they werenât the focus of his attention. Instead, he stared at the lump that continually pressed against the inside of her chest and abdomen. Tentative at first, the chestburster wasnât ready for the full Monty. Instead, it pressed its face and jaws against the inside of her skin, revealing itself even before it broke free.
Each time it moved within her sheâd shriek, then force herself to stand still. It was as if her single fuck you to the universe was to try not to panic, instead provide as much of herself to the witnesses as possible. For the sake of science? It had to be for the sake of science, because no one could possibly get off on the destruction of a human being in such a way. No one heâd ever want to know, anyway.
