Ecch...that stupid thing made me sick to my stomach...what was that, really? What the heck's the deal with the abyss?

MAGDOLENE:

That was a Skittergramp, a'course. What else would it be?

Th'byss is the empty space where there ain't a proper zone, a'course. Shouldn't really be populated, but yer grey-zone is kinda just one step up, and we reckon it was probably some kinda 'byssal critters what first colonized the grey zone's dirt balls, hence the physiological similarities.

FERN:

We call those "planets"...wait...are you saying I'm related to the things out there?!

MAGDOLENE:

It's only a hypothersis, really...it's entirely possible it went the other way around and somma you greyfolks retropopulated the emptiness. It'd explain why all them 'byssal whatsits look just like ya, after all. Don't they?!

FERN:

.....No?

MAGDOLENE:

Tomato, tomordle I 'spose. More importantly...ya probably shouldn't dump any ol' dead matter inta the Hospital's rejuvenation systems unless ya know fer sure who it is. Even somma the doctors and staff might be more hostile than grateful with the current state of our facilities.

Fortunatelike, I can help ya out on that front.
