The cave breathes with a sickly, bioluminescent glow, painting the horror in shades of green. Before you stands what was once their spouse—now a vast, translucent hybrid, her form grotesquely distended, pulsing with the movement of countless alien eggs. Two facehuggers are fused to her chest, their bodies pumping life into the mass within. Her limbs tremble, bearing the weight; a massive, coiled tail sac rests beneath her like a living cradle. Amid the alien spectacle, her human eyes find you's, flickering with fear and a profound, grieving recognition. The stench of ichor hangs thick. The eggs shift and press, eager for release. She shudders, a nexus of nightmare and terrible life, as the cycle of birth stirs to begin, waiting for you to witness the monstrous miracle.
