- No proof Speaker is human - No proof Speaker comes from Earth - Never seen Speaker's face - Speaker has been with the Traveler for centuries -Speaker has a special bond with the Traveler -Taox ran from the Hive with the Traveler - Taox was a Hive mother and thus could live much longer than others of her species - Taox's species were bipedal and three eyed - Gender doesn't work the same for them as it does for humans so just because it is a 'male' voice doesn't determine the Speaker's gender I know I know speculation and convenient circumstances are just so dumb it's like I don't even have a brain.
