The needle of thought makes him flinch and he looks into his nearly finished drink. Maybe there's something else up here? Possibly.
Murphy's situation is notorious back home. The Murphy was hunted across the entire former US, wanted for an undetermined amount of money, desperately coveted by the CDC or crime lords or whoever else wanted a part in the post-world. So while his creation was traumatic, he tends to wear it with a badge of pride. He's the Murphy, after all.
Alien first, huh? I bet we're a treat to get used to. And then he shrugs. I started as alive, he remembers, being strapped to a gurney, to the 'cure' being pumped into him just in time for him to be mauled by zombies that broke into the facility. But then I began to shed. He thinks hard, back to how he used to be. To his first skin before he spent a while damnably blue. Before his teeth fell out and were replaced by new ones. I do know the technicalities- because he took them out of the scientist who did it to him -but I don't exactly have a whiteboard and I don't want to be that boring guy at a party.
Then he tips his head. "So do you get to do all the fun stuff humans do or are you still taking that thing for a test drive?" And he throws on his best cheeky grin.
