High over the UNA airspace..
Trent and Sidney rode in a private booth of the transport ship, even soundproof. They could scream all they wanted and noone would hear it. Trent chose this so that he could talk to Sidney.
"I am going to tell you, first, what we will be doing. Please listen carefully." Trent told Sidney.

She looked to him, listening intently.

"I am a scientist, as you know.. but I'm not satisfied with sticking in a laboratory. I go to the scene of the action, and that can be anything from a volcano to a kaiju. I can promise you, though, as long as you listen to what I say, your life will never be in danger. Are we clear so far?"

She nodded.
"Yes."

"Alright. The second thing. I am going to show you things about me, that no one knows, and honestly, would frighten those who do not understand. I need you to know, that I would never hurt you. Are we clear so far?"

"Things?"
Sidney seemed to express some concern, but remained steadfast.

"Do you trust me?"

She gulped, then nodded.
"Your making me more nervous than you need to be Trent," she said, a little reproachfully.

Trent tried smiling, as he solemnly took off his sunglasses, and slowly opened both eyes, revealing his right eye's differences in color.

Her eyes widened in astonishment.
"Oh..." she said in amazement, leaning forward to get a better look at the eye.

Trent seemed ashamed of it as he looked to the floor, then he stood up and took off his trenchcoat, unbuttoning his longsleeve shirt and parting it to show the pieces of bioarmor growing on the left side of his chest and torso.

Sidney's eyes grew to the size of saucers.
"Who..what are you Trent?" She did not seem to be repulsed or disgusted as much as surprised and amazed by the revelation, always having been under the assumption of Trent's humanity.

Trent dropped his arms, and walked towards the window.
"I was working with Irys dna.. Irys is a kaiju from long ago, that tried to destroy the world.. but if I could have hacked its genetic code, I would have found a way to cure diseases, heal wounds, regrow limbs, even develop strength and even more immunity in the human body.. the medical ramifications were limitless.."
He sighed.
"But to those who ran the medical corporations of old.. I was just a liability for their means of controlling the market. They tried to bury me, with my work.." He hesitated to continue. "..And they fabricated lies about my death, saying that I was trying to bring about the apocolypse.."

Sidney got up and followed him.
"You...modified yourself? Used that DNA to...mutate?"
Sidney had never been good with biology as a teenager, and she had difficulty phrasing her questions.

"No.. I would have died, but.. it had a life of its own.. and I happened to be the only thing to latch onto. It kept me alive in a symbiotic relationship. It doesn't have a mind of its own, it can't be called more than a symbiosis with a man and a microbe.. but eventually, a part of it separated."
He kept his stare on the window.
"Irys was reborn, because of me."
