The Objective of Comparative Tests

Riot had been left alive to be used as a test subject.

For example, it wasn't worth feeding this sort of hazardous material to the other symbiotes.

It didn't matter if Riot didn't cooperate. In any case, the other symbiotes wouldn't mind combining with Skye.

After numerous tests on Riot, Luke was very certain that all the parasites in its body were digested as protein.

Only then did he go deep into the Pacific Ocean to find his sleeping mount, Brother Octopus.

Brother Octopus didn't feel well after remaining awake for a long period of time.

After enough training, Luke announced that he would give it a break and wouldn't wake it up unless necessary.

If this were a game, there would absolutely have been +10 +10 +10 loyalty points popping up above Brother Octopus's head.

Naturally, Luke wasn't here for Brother Octopus, but for Shriek.

Brother Octopus liked sleeping, but not Shriek.
