“I will always give you what you need, female. I only fear…” he whispers. “I cannot give you what you want as well. In that, we are the same. Regardless, this changes nothing with how I feel about you. There is nothing I want more.”

“That is the second time you have said that. Genesis-8?” I take his hand. He goes rigid as I flip it over and trail my fingers over the grooves along his palms. It’s the first touch I give him freely. “It was once a manufactured drug that could bond with a human’s genome, I believe, like a cellular virus, one that could change us from within so we could use alien technology. Lurker technology belongs to a species of aliens that briefly cohabited on this planet with humans. A species that was far more advanced than us. They’re ancestors of yours.” Holding his hand, I peer up at him, recalling what Celeste shared with me and the strange myths handed down through my family. “Reptilian in nature, Lurkers were closest to Earth’s serpents, so geneticists spliced a serpent’s DNA, with human and Lurker, manufacturing your kind, a species who could breed the drug naturally and share it with others, with humans. Genesis-8 is what we call the pure drug, but what’s inside you, what’s in your veins, is wholly organic.”
