Thread: All Steamed Space (Shikokudarkstar X Charlie_Death)

Xanthor hadn't thought that the host needed to be providing his permission for anything that Xanthor chooses to do. The man was being most stubborn in remaining passive. He could have easily pushed Xanthor out of the way, hell, it gave him the opportunity to do something himself each night but Brent decided that he liked being a passenger, not a pilot. I don't think consent is something that will be a problem. It could still feel the rise in heartbeat and a subtle shift in hormones, but it was subtle, still subdued to the host's sleeplike state. When its help was requested, it decided to venture further from the wall. It walked over to the microscope, watching Dr. Monroe very carefully before it got close enough to look through. At the mention that the current project that he had been doing was a dream from his youth, Xanthor felt... touched. It didn't expect to learn something like that from the man, they were always arguing, but the pursuit of scientific knowledge was much stronger than the need to verbally assault one another. Fascinating... Xanthor muttered as it looked through the microscope. There has been a number of species that had successfully integrated themselves with machines, however, this was different. This was to create an entirely new being, separate from its creator that was infused with mechanics. It has always been either all machine, or machine and the creator species, never this. It was truly impressed, which was precisely what it has been trying to push the man into. Ignoring any protests from Dr. Monroe, it quickly pulled out the small dish that contained the cells and held it in its hand. It could feel the energy mixed within, the odd resonance from the two different species, although it was still dampened through the protective glass. Frowning at the lack of a clearer picture, it opened the container with the sample before pulling his finger into it, pulling away from Dr. Monroe. Don't. Touch me. It put all its focus on the energy of the cells, the picture coming much clearer with the physical contact. Although it could possess a body, it cannot do so with two, no matter how partial the second was. Stretching its form to cover multiples was different. That is more like being a blanket, rather than someone's skin. As the image became clearer, it began to see the problem. The Maatuk's DNA was on a different frequency than the Human's. Both are adaptive to the integration of machine, however, like all life forms, the two had their own energy. Carefully sitting down, Xathor began to imperceptivity move from one host to another, getting a deeper feel for the problem. Brent began to sway and slumped on the table for a moment as Xanthor transferred itself to the cells it was in contact with. It could feel the life in them and sense the structure of the hybrid DNA. It spread itself everywhere, gathering the information and momentarily becoming one with the primitive cells before re-entering into Brent through the same finger. It sat its host body back up and took a deep breath. It was refreshing to be able to go through the motions of breathing, especially when it can display its feelings. Your problem is that when you created this hybrid, you left out important genes that will allow for better integration. That's the problem with the energy. Xanthor pulled a piece of paper close and grabbed a fountain pen and began to draw two different lines. Both lines were of smooth ups and downs but they were of different sizes, one was more stretched out and the other the ups and downs were closer together. All life, even stone, has its own unique energy, however, when it comes to species there is a lot of similarity that allows one like me to recognize what it is. The two combined however, are not resonating well. However, not all of the cells are possessing a particular gene that allows its energy to work better. Right now most of those cells are like these two wavelengths. They don't match, but some do. If you can recreate more of those, your problem would be solved.
