    Summary

    "It’s in her programming, is the thing; written in Thia’s very core is the directive to learn about every creature she meets, to know each one down to its bones and beyond, to unpick the delicate relational web inside which they exist. It’s why Weyland-Yutani gave Thia that enhanced sensitivity, the double-sided blade that let her perform so effectively but also led her to betray her makers in the end. Empathy feeds curiosity in an endless positive feedback loop. The longer she knows Dek, the more she wants to know about him. Thia has never experienced hunger, doesn’t even have a digestive system to speak of, but this yearning at her core–is this what hunger is like?"

    Dek is made vulnerable by a hunt gone slightly wrong, and finds himself in need of help. Thia is more than happy to lend a hand, as it were.
