Though they disagree about actually bringing the hybrid to term, Elsa pushes the issue and she persuades Clive to go along with it, in continued secrecy. They name their creature Dren (nerd backwards), who exceeds their wildest dreams; she begins to grow and learn at an accelerated rate. As their lab becomes exceedingly crowded, and the risk of Dren being discovered increases, they move Dren to Elsa's late mother's farm.
Their work at the company suffers as their attention is focused on Dren. One of the original hybrid animals that they had created, which was originally female, had changed sex unbeknownst to Clive & Elsa since they were distracted. This led to a disastrous presentation during a company shareholders' meeting, when the two original hybrids, previously one male and one female very much in love with each other, became both male, killed each other in front of shareholders and potential investors. Following this meeting, N.E.R.D., found itself in danger of going out of business unless they could find a profitable discovery. Source -Wikipedia. Watch film trailer of Splice.
The jug that holds the water representing the symbol for Aquarius shows the pouring down of inspired knowledge. The modern ruler of Aquarius represents architecture, astrology, astronomy, mathematics, geometry and letters. Uranian power brings advances in technology and science that benefits society. However, sometimes lines are crossed and moral dilemmas are confronted when we seek such fast advancement in the name of progress. Overly detached from reality whilst pursuing their vision, Aquarians can be unrealistic if taken to the extreme. In Splice, Dren’s emotional needs and freedom are denied. Elsa displayed a sense of nurturance towards the hybrid, but there are also times where she becomes cold and distant. Aquarians are dedicated and loyal towards their causes, with unwavering determination. We have already figured out how to extend life and create life through external means. Aquarius has tremendous creative potential and they are the future thinkers and visionaries in society. The star card in the tarot deck (Aquarius) shows Pandora’s Box. Prometheus stole fire from the gods and gave it to human beings. This angered Zeus and as a consequence he instructed Hephaestus to create Pandora and her box, and told her not to open the box, knowing that she would. The opening of the box unleashed ills and suffering upon mankind, along with hope. In the film Splice it was strictly forbidden to use human DNA in a hybrid.
