Species[]
Stephen was an anthropologist member of a team of scientists and specialists led by SETI head honcho Xavier Fitch, which tracks and destroys Sil.
When the team celebrates their apparent victory, and the death of Sil. In fact, Sil is still alive and stalks them in their hotel. Sil takes an attraction to Preston "Press" Lennox. Following Dr. Laura Baker and Lennox to their room, Sil unknowingly breaks into Ardens room so she can eavesdrops on their lovemaking which causes her to be aroused. After failing to pick up women at the bar, Stephen decides to call it a night and heads to his hotel room. When Stephen walks in on her eavesdropping, she tells him that she stole the key and saw him downstairs. Sensing no health issues with him she immediately undresses in order to seduce him into sex. Hesitant at first, Sil tells Arden that she wants wants to be with him as she kisses him which causes him to undress. Finally given into lust, they begin to kiss more passionately as he embraces her. Sil then pushes Stephen onto the bed, not noticing her strength and aggressiveness, Stephen begins to undo his pants and Sil proceeds to mount him despite him asking her about protection. Once their clothes are off, Stephen allows Sil to ride him as he enjoys the sex act. During this, Arden's team mate Dan Smithson has figured out that Sil is alive and as he walks past Arden's room, Dan can hear the loud moans of Arden and Sil. After Dan tells Press and Laura that Arden is with Sil, Stephen has reached orgasm which impregnates Sil instantly. An exhausted Stephen tells Sil that he "enjoyed it immensely" as he proceeds to rest from the experience. As he rests, Sil can feel their son growing inside of her which causes her to smile. When Sil tells him that she can feel it, she takes the hand of the disbelieving Stephen and places it on her stomach as he does indeed feel something in Sil's womb and knows who she is, which results in Sil killing Arden.
