Xenosynthesis (Spoilers)
Marlow did something to Cassandra (Xenosynthesis) and then let her go with us. Anyone have a clue on what Xenosynthesis actually is? Is this the first time it's mentioned in the lore? Google search just gave me Roblox developer, I hope this is not some kind of cameo.

I'm not certain about that, my thinking was it was messing with her genetically with Xeno DNA maybe? Didn't find all the datapads and such on my first playthrough and was hoping there was some explanation on that myself.

I also don't think I quite fully understand why or how Harper's headaches work the way they did. Again, didn't find all the "Things" so maybe that's explained somewhere.

From the context it has something to do with the ability to communicate. To be "the bridge between species". As for what he *did to her* no idea.

Although, i will stress that he let her go with us (or at least his synths did) because if he didn't his "work" (as he says, she is the culmination of) would die with the nukes. It's reasonable to assume that he didn't know anything about the nukes until we did (if he was even still alive by then), so gleefully handing her over to us is most definitely a impromptu decision by his synths, not what was "planned".

Because Harper is psychic. Think of Verhoeven's Starship Troopers.
And so is obviously Cassandra.

I'd assume that Cassandra isn't just Cassandra anymore but rather something like Kerrigan from Starcraft. Being somewhat possessed by an Xeno hivemind but hiding it because it knows the planet is doomed and needs to get off the rock aswell to survive.

At least that would be my educated guess.

Oh, I love Kerrigan comparison, that would be super dope for future sequel or DLC.
