Dr. Laura Baker

Dr. Laura Baker was portrayed by Mag Helgenberger in the movies Species and Species II.

Species I
She was a molecular biologist recruited by the government of the United States together with other scientists and a killer hired by the government called Preston Lennox to track down and kill Sil, a creature created with the help of a formula they attained from outer space.

Initially she had objections, because she wanted to study her even more. That changed because of her evil actions and because of becoming aware of the threat she would become to the hunam race, if she had offspring of her own. They barely succeeded. During this event she established a relationship with Preston Lennox, the one who had the duty to kill Sil with their help.

Species II
Later, in order to satisfy her scientific curiosity, she, together with a team of scientists under government´s approval also created a new more domesticated Sil in order to continue with the experiment. She calls her Eve. She also created her in order to understand the alien lifeform in order deal with the alien threat should it arrive on Earth one day. She has established a limited relationship with her and has created a series of security measures around her, so she wouldn´t be a threat. She also has made sure, that no male is around her to make sure her sexual aggression will not arouse.

Finally she is recruited by the government together with Lennox in order to deal with a new Species threat in the form of a male one called Patrick and she later recruits Eve in order to deal with him. With her help she finds out, where she is, finds out the Species weakness in the form of genetic human illnesses and with this method she, Preston and Gamble, another team member, kill his offspring and Patrick with Eve´s help.

After that they are escorted away by the military.
