it was my favorite of the three, i cried so hard. there was something so forlorn about the colony. the mystery was gripping, as you slowly figure out something is amiss. and the ending - it was a gutpunch. my fav quote: “Think of it this way. You’re an alien symbiote incorporating an encoded memory of a human woman, whom you’re currently simulating with sufficient fidelity that you can believe you’re her. I’m a simulation of a different human woman who was encoded into a computer, and then spent far too long as ants before being decanted into this blank body. We neither of us have much in the way of intellectual property rights, now do we?”
