"You put it that way... I can appreciate their beauty even more. Ah~! What perfect creatures."
Sui Bian had just finished introducing the Xeno species from memory. Beside him, Birkin gazed at the Xenomorph Queen with shining eyes.

"Still, their ability to optimize DNA has given me an idea. If we used them to
