If you've been watching "Alien Earth," you've probably wondered how the cold, calculating cyborg Morrow has such a powerful hold over the innocent hybrid, Slightly. The "phone calls" inside Slightly's head aren't a psychic link or a strange dream - it's something far more invasive and technological.
A Sinister Souvenir from a Wreckage
So, how did this all start? The connection was forged during their very first encounter aboard the crashed Maginot spaceship. While seemingly interrogating the young hybrids, Morrow used his advanced robotic arm to covertly implant a small communication device into the back of Slightly's neck.
This single, swift action gave Morrow a direct, untraceable line straight into the boy's mind. He can speak to Slightly whenever he wants, a constant, unseen presence whispering in his ear.
Grooming a Thief
Morrow isn't just making friendly conversation. He's using this private channel for a single, manipulative purpose: to groom Slightly into stealing a Xenomorph egg. By preying on the hybrid's naivety and childlike trust, Morrow is trying to convince him that taking the egg for Weyland-Yutani is the right thing to do. This psychological manipulation is at the heart of their disturbing connection.
But Someone is Watching...
Morrow's plan isn't as secret as he thinks. The synthetic guardian, Kirsh, knows everything. He discovered a recording of the implantation event, revealing Morrow's entire scheme. Now, Kirsh watches from the shadows, aware of the cyborg's every word to Slightly, calculating the perfect moment to intervene.
This secret communication line is a ticking time bomb in the series. The real question is, will Kirsh act before Morrow succeeds, or will Slightly fall completely under the cyborg's control?
