Hostile takeover

Remember, way back when Kendry was heading a farm of surrogates because actually carrying their own babies was below the Nine? Now she is the one used to carry someone else’s baby.

But Aneela’s quest to save her revealed much about how Hullen are actually run. Aneela is not really in charge of Hullen as we know but she isn’t even the one controlling the Green. The Lady is. She is the one trapped inside the plasma - it sentience and mind. She can order the ships and drone Hullen to do what she pleases even against Aneela’s wishes.

Thanks to Gander Lady has bonded all the plasma first and can see the memories of every Hullen through it. Aneela can only take over when Lady is not watching or when she directly plugs her own plasma into the system. Was the Lady original human who bonded with plasma first? Or is she something else? Original Hullen maybe? Khlyen and Aneela’s batch is 200 years old but that immortal non-Hullen dude was changed 400 years ago.

Whatever it was she wants out now. She wants to have a body. And she is looking for ways to get one suspecting Aneela has the answers.

And she did. Now that the Dutch knows she is Aneela’s creation brought out of the Green - Aneela’s Green - she also know Aneela’s death is her death. They are connected. But she still thinks Aneela should be killed for the greater good. Otherwise Hullen outnumber them so much and have so much better tech and near immortality that this rebellion stands no chance. She believes killing Aneela will kill all Hullen and save everyone.

Bur she doesn’t know Aneela isn’t really the one controlling the Green and ruling Hullen. Oh, she would like to be and she did manage to get her own ship back but if they kill her (and Dutch) then who will stop the Lady?

Of course, there is another way. They can let Aneela remember. She let Khlyen take her memories of Yala away so the Lady wouldn’t know that Aneela can do for her what she wants - bring her in physical form from the memories in Green.

Dutch and Aneela have common enemy.

Also, aren’t Aneela and Kendry just the best, cutest, psychopathic couple in the whole J? All saving each other and then bonding over torturing Gander (a lot) and eating ice-cream (cravings). They might be both evil but I didn’t even mind them turning all those free-will Hullen into drones. They all deserved it.

Origin

Finally we got answers about the connection between Aneela and Yala. Why they look the same. How Khlyen found her. And how Dutch, Lucy and Johnny met.

Aneela has been prisoner for most of her life. First Khlyen and now the other Hullen are separating her. Not just because she has all that power but because her emotions have never been muted like for the others - even non-puppeted ones. And she only got out recently which explains why the invasion has picked up the speed.

She’s also the one who created little Yala. I always suspected Dutch was her clone but I didn’t expect they knew each other. I didn’t expect Yala was literally a copy of her younger self. Aneela used the Green she pumped out of her body to dive into her own memories and she long for them so hard the Green actualised Aneela’s younger self from them. Like a really advance 3D printer (reminded me a bit of Leeloo).

After they both escaped Khlyen little box Aneela told her father so he could have another chance to rise a better version of her. And he gave her a new name - Yalena and new family - Yardeen. And then made her an assassin and when she escaped she run straight into Johnny trying to steal her wedding present - Lucy. He was a space ship thief and she was a runaway princess and the ship new what she wanted. This was a beginning of a beautiful friendship.

Last year I wrote a lot about Green being an advanced networking computer. It looks like it might be basically all the grey goo is supposed to be a computer network able to process and store any information, interface through multiple subjects and create any thing on demand - even humans (after all it’s only a little more complicated then regeneration).

It existed for a long time before Khlyen and Aneela and the rest discovered it - it’s thousad of years old. Was it made by ancient humans before they came to the J? Or maybe Aliens? Maybe that’s why it’s binding to humans is so imperfect - it’s not made for them. An alien computer substrate nano-plasma and Aneela just has the right brain that can talk to it properly. Maybe the rest of the humans are just no compatible enough. It also might be sentient because Aneela calls her a she.

And for some reason Aneela wanted to hide her new sister from the Green even if it meant forgetting her. She let Khlyen to excise her memories of her. Maybe because if she let Green know other Hullen would know and try to find a way to multiply using it.

We were just reminded Hullen cannot procreate but we saw Kendry pregnant last week. Is that what Aneela’s experiment on D’avins sample was? Finding a way for Hullen to breed?
