Biography[]
Laura Baker expressed an interest to create a pure breed alien in hopes of learning its weaknesses. Dan Smithson agreed, since he wanted to learn how it feels, as did Stephen Arden, who hoped to see what the alien looked like without its human camouflage.
In the lab, Laura Baker was about to pierce the cell with alien DNA, but just as she did, the camera went out. Laura and Preston entered the chamber to replace the camera, during which the alien started to grow in an extremely fast rate. Xavier Fitch tried to burn it, but it escaped the flames and jumped at the viewing window. Then it tried to attack Laura, but Preston chased it into the pipes where he stabbed it several times with a broken pipe. The alien briefly played dead, and then stated to grow again, even faster than the first time. After Laura and Preston got out of the room, the room was burned, according to the safety protocols, killing the alien.
Trivia[]

- The creature that bursts out of Anne and kills Harry and herself appears to be the Species in its pure form.
