"Being born as a Xenomorph. Normally, her species is a plague. They're a hive mind that consumes everything they can get their claws on, trying to make themselves the dominant species. Not too different from humanity, when you think about it." Lyra explained, following a bit behind the duo as they looked about Pewtercove. "There species breeds by killing others, sad as it is, and stealing the best traits of that species. From best we can tell, Xyleena was born in a hive attacking a much more naturally intelligent species, and their intelligence caused every Xeno that hatched from them to have free will. We found her, the lone survivor on that planet, as every Xeno turned against each other and the species they had eaten, and let her join us. Of course, we're just guessing on that one. For all we know, she's the last survivor of a lab experiment, or the only successful evolution of her people into a race that can better survive the new galaxy. Nobodies got a clue." Marcus called from ahead of them "I've got my money on brain damage, myself!"
