Lena : The mutations were subtle at 1st; more extreme as we got closer to the lighthouse. Corruptions of form. Duplicates of form.
Lomax : Duplicates?
Lena : [She looks at the tattoo on her arm & lifts her arm up] Echoes.
Lomax : Is it possible these were hallucinations?
Lena : I wondered that myself... but they were shared among all of us. It was dreamlike.
Lomax : Nightmarish?
Lena : Not always. Sometimes it was beautiful.
[the movie then cuts back in time to show beautiful translucent single-tailed wormfish swimming alongside double-tailed duplicates. Lena is in a canoe on a swamp located quite near to a corpse that bears the same tattoo as Lena]
Lena : Oww. Ow.
[She clutches her arm - there is no tattoo yet. However, a dark blue mark has appeared at the same place on her arm]
Cass Sheppard : You're hurt?
Lena : It's just a bruise. I must have gotten that from the gator.

[the team kill an alligator & examine it's mouth]
Lena : Lena: Whoa. It's exactly the same as the flowers. Look at the teeth. Concentric rows. Something here is making giant waves in the gene pool.
[the paramedic, Anya, holds the alligator's mouth open. She has no tattoo on her arm]
Cass Sheppard : Sharks have teeth like that, don't they?
Dr Ventress : Do you think it's a crossbreed?
Lena : You can't crossbreed between different species.
Anya Thorensen : Lena, this is getting heavy.
[Later in the movie, Anya has acquired the tattoo]
