Keitel was in the envious position of consulting to Weyland-Yutani. So placed, he was able to gain access to certain highly classified files, which he brought to the Geholgod. He uncovered information about the Nostromo, 20 years ago, and how they encountered a space-faring craft of non-terrestrial origin in the Zeta 2 Reticuli system. The discovery of this long dead Derelict galvanized the conglomerate. They're like flies all over that sector now, but their motives are small. Keitel saw the big picture. Armed with his resources, the Geholgod undertook its own astronomical search.

Keitel's team (Nelligan, Grinkoff, Redgrave, Ito, Parriotti, Sten, and Joyce) discovered an object orbiting a planet in the Shambleau System. Its broadcasting spectrum matched that of the Weyland-Yutani Derelict perfectly. Aliens: Apocalypse

Sept 6: Julia Jones releases her article, "An Outpost of Progress? Desolation Through Isolation." It is about the downfall of Sevastopol, the space station that nobody needed, run by a company they all forgot. She reported that the population is a tenth of the station's optimal capacity. Docking bays are empty and the shutters are down on local stores and businesses. The orders for Seegson's cheaply manufactured androids have long since dried up, and the antiquated APOLLO governing AI system frequently malfunctions. She also questions where the billions of dollars of investment gone during the race into the Outer Rim.

Sept 16: Falling behind the recent Hyperdyne/ WY 120/A-8 model androids, Seegson Synthetic Solutions attempts, but fails to secure a buyer for their inferior Working Joe models.

Harper won't need Zoe to come in next week as the store's been in trouble for some time now and Harper couldn't hold off the creditors any longer. It isn't just Harper's store. It sounds to Harper like the whole station is in the red and they're pulling the plug. There's just no one coming to Sevastopol anymore. According to the engineer Harper spoke with, the station'll announce it soon.

Sept 27: Seegson begins decomission of Sevastopol. Mike Tanaka messages his family confirming the long standing decommission rumour.

Sept 28: A Public notice from Seegson is sent out regarding the decommissioning of Sevastopol Station, thankful to everyone who worked and lived at Sevastopol over the years, and hopes that Seegson has helped to make it a productive and rewarding environment.

He also warns against theft - Chief will personally escort anyone found helping themselves to equipment to Marshal Waits. Morley informs Dr. Lingard that they need more supplies of mood stimulants. They're getting really low, and logs show that Kuhlman has been to the dispensary sixteen times this week. They need to start rationing medication. Sevastopol's people are only going to need these more and more the closer they get to shutdown. Morley asks Lingard to confront Khulman as to where the prescriptions are going.

Oct 16: Franco leaves a message for 'Chief' Porter, stating he's about 80% through archiving Sevastopol's internal mail system for the decommissioning. It's been disconnected from APOLLO but he left the basic messaging system in place for the people still here. Because whoever set it up in the first place skimped on the hardware, there were some leaks. Franco got Mike Tanaka, a Systems Archivist, looking into it.

Oct 19: Bailey managed to get his hands on "that stuff" he was talking about. Chief won't even notice the stock missing; things always get lost when a station's closing down. Customers won't notice as Jake Sinclair told his men to turn a blind eye. They'd probably be too busy goofing off or taking backhanders to notice anyway.

Nov 12: Weyland-Yutani executive administrator Nina Taylor sends a message to Sevastopol, confirming receipt of their transmission. Taylor is a member of the team assigned to collect the Nostromo flight recorder as it is of primary importance to Weyland-Yutani. Under existing corporate agreements, she reminds them to not attempt to read its contents, nor disclose its presence to any third parties. A private message for Marshal Waits will follow. Dr. Lingard of the San Cristobal medical facility records a video log stating the Facehugger has done something to Catherine Foster, called "patient zero", but she doesn't know what or what's coming next. Samuels approaches Amanda Ripley about the flight recorder. Alien: Isolation

The Sevastopol space station controlled by Apollo mainframe is the location where a sizable colony lived before being decommissioned and a large alien infestation. The Sevastopol orbits around a gas giant called KG348, aboard there are service androids, colonist and marshals, all have their role aboard the station with service androids helping any humans and armed marshals patrolling around the station. The station's marshals are run by Waits who has a number of marshals under his command including Harris, Garcia and Turner. During a normal patrol in the corridors they find dead bodies just before an alien arrives killing Harris and Garcia, later a colonist gets armed and kills a fellow colonist called Ross, this leads Chuck the service android (working joe 937) along to investigate but he kills the colonist only to be killed himself moments later by Waits.

Nov 28: Problems start occurring with Working Joe androids attacking Sevastopol personnel.

Nov 29: Tech Support Chief Porter advises Marshal Waits that there is nothing on the Nostromo's flight recorder (despite orders from Taylor that it not be tampered with). They've broken many corporate confidentiality agreements and come up with zip - nothing except the Weyland-Yutani logo and an empty read-out. As these things are built to last, so either someone on board the Nostromo asked its mother core to wipe it clean, or somehow the data's been corrupted before it got to Sevastopol. Alien: Isolation

Dec 1: Chief Porter informs Hughes that he put a manual lock on the door leading upstairs. Don't want any accidents until they figure what's going on here. Later that day, Hughes instructs his wife, Marie, to leave work now, collect their daughter Claire, pick up the cat and head home without talking to anyone. They need to find someplace safe until Seegson sends a ship as he reently saw a guy from down the hall with something in his coat, possibly a gun. He would meet them as soon as he could.

Dec 2: Journalist Julia Jones reports that after numerous demands, Marshal Waits finally called a public meeting to address the rumors about the crisis on the station that have been circulating on Sevastopol. But instead of the answers everyone wanted, Waits continued to be evasive and after only a few minutes he and his team were pelted by projectiles from an angry crowd. A gun was fired, there was panic and now Waits and what's left of his team are forcibly ejecting us from the terminal.

Dec 3: Parts of Sevastopol Station begin to partially lose power due to issues with the reactor. Over the next week more and more people die, and survivors gather in small groups to protect territory and resources.

Dec 4: Anna leaves a video log for Langley, telling him that she moved his "stash" that she had gotten for him as he left it right out in the open where anyone could have taken it. She hid it in one of the storerooms in one of the terminals that no one goes to anymore "after what happened" there. The code is 0340. She also reminds him that they out of meds and low on water so its his turn to get some.

Dec 4: Turner leaves a message for Harris, saying he had to deal with the alcoholic Zach Watson again. This time he nearly wrecked the door with a Maintenance Jack. Turner figures Zach thinks it's safe here, and just wants to lock himself in. Turner throws Zach in the evidence lock-up to sleep it off.

Dec 5: Marshal Waits looks for Harris and Turner as they have a track, somewhere in engineering. Waits wants them to lock the terminal down, kill the power, and don't forget their thorough reports: he needs the paperwork to be bulletproof. Later, Turner informs Harris that he found the last power coupling. Took him a while, but it's shut off now. He was just fitting the last security brace. He requests Harris to come find him when Harris finished shuting his down. Then they can leave the station.

Dec 8: Zach Watson attempts to make a complaint to the highest authority against the Marshals. They should be protecting people, especially since something's on the station with them and no one knows what it is. Zach has watched braces being put on the doors as if to keep something out. As well, Zach complains that it is cold on the station.

Dec 8: Joe, a resident on Sevastopol Station, places Nearson and Leonard on first shift on their door as they don't want anyone else getting in. Joe was with a group before and they got soft and now he's the only one left. Joe put together a two-man rule lock - two to open the door simultaneously from two different consoles. As most prople on the station don't know each other, it was the safest way of making sure everything stays secure and no one decided to head off on their own with their stuff. When one of them is on shift, take it in turns to keep guard and notify the other if Nearson, Leonard, or Joe to be let in or out. No one else. Trust no one.

Dec 9: Sinclair holes up in Habitation and loots supplies.

Dec 9: Jenkins takes inventory, demanding that no one is to take anything or mark it off the list without talking to him first.

He notes that they are running low on ammunition. Zoe managed to pick up some prescription drugs, all addressed to the same person.

Dec 10: More people die on this day. Alien: Isolation

Kiande Amedha sets off trap in Spaceflight Terminal, damages docks. The Torrens arrives out of Saint Clair, carrying three passengers on a Weyland-Yutani bond. They are aware the Sevastopol is holding the Nostromo flight recorder unit. Verlaine requests immediate permission to transfer the passengers port-side.

Unable to dock, Ripley, Taylor and Samuels go EVA, but are hit by debris. Verlaine immediately signals the Sevastopol, asking if any of her EVA team make it on board. As the Torrens took damage in the explosion, she is pulling out of Sevastopol space. Systems will be down while they repair.

Meanwhile, Ripley is separated from Samuels and the injured Taylor. Avoiding the Kiande Amedha, panicked and violent personnel and murderous Working Joes, Ripley makes contact with Samuels, then heads into San Cristobal to retrieve supplies for Taylor.

While there, she inadvertently trips an explosive trap for the Kiande Amedha set by Waits.

Waits eventually provides Ripley and Samuels with safe haven and gets Taylor treated. Ripley works with Waits and Ricardo (one of Waits men) to trap the Kiande Amedha in the Project KG348 module. While Ripley is in there, Waits remotely seals it and ejects the module into space. Ripley EVAs back to Sevastopol. Samuels meanwhile goes to try and access Apollo to lift the communications lockdown. He succeeds at the cost of his own life, and Ripley discovers that Weyland Yutani had purchased Sevastopol and are making sure the Kiande Amedha specimens are secured.

Hughes leaves a message for his wife Marie, telling her he's making my way to Seegson Communications. He didn't wake her because he knew she'd try to stop him. Someone's got to re-establish communications. They need to make sure the officials back at home know what's going on here.

Amanda Ripley discovers an Kiande Amedha Hive under the computer reactor core and initiates an overload to destroy. Some of the Kiande Amedha escape however. The core overload reboots all the systems and Ricardo thinks he may be able to get communications back up. Unfortunately the comms are locked down again

Waits sends a message to the Torrens that they have a serious situation: non-local comms are down and Waits needs the Torrens to send out an emergency message.

Amanda takes an ambulance shuttle and docks with the Anesidora, upon which Marlow escape earlier taking Taylor hostage, hoping to get him to dock so Sevastopol personnel can evacuate. She finds a final personal transmission from her mother, Ellen, explaining what happened on the Nostromo, shortly before Marlow initiates an overload. Taylor knocks Marlow out and tries to help Ripley stop the overload, however they're too late. Taylor is killed as Amanda narrowly escapes on the ambulance shuttle.

The destruction of the Anesidora takes out one of Sevastopol's orbital stabilisers and it begins to fall towards KG348. Ripley goes EVA to manually align the stations comms dish and contacts the Torrens to effect a pick up via the station's towing platform. Once back inside she finds that Ricardo has been attacked by a Facehugger.

Amanda makes it to the towing umbilical and disengages the docking clamp, an instant before she is mobbed by Kiande Amedha. The concussion from the emergency release of the clamp jolts her and the Kiande Amedha free of the umbilical and lands Amanda at the Torrens hatch. Sevastopol burns up in the atmosphere of KG348.

Back on board Amanda tries to contact Verlaine - only to find another Kiande Amedha on board. She narrowly escapes into an airlock blowing the Kiande Amedha and herself back into space.

Dec 14: After sometime adrift, Amanda is picked up and taken to Mendel Research Station. Shortly after a Kiande Amedha is unleashed on the station and all aboard are killed apart from Amanda who hides out in the airducts. The re-routed courier ship USCSS Haldin arrives crewed by Miwa Saito and Dougal Studwick and carrying Weyland-Yutani staff Naoko Yutani and Andrew Thorncroft. Needing supplies for the Haldin, Amanda guides the crew and passengers through the station and helping them evade the Kiande Amedha. They engineer the destruction of Mendel and escape. Amanda’s actions are commended by Yutani. Alien: Isolation

Dec 14: Private Zula Hendricks accompanies a squad of Weyland-Yutani corporate security drones as they board the derelict Seegson Mass Hauler, Europa. They encounter a nest of Kiande Amedha that have wiped out the crew. Zula is injured during the fighting and one of the Davis units puts her into hypersleep. The Europa is set on course for the Zeta Doradus system – its last port of call.

Dec 17: The last remnants of the Kiande Amedha on the Europa are eradicated – along with a number of Davis units who don't join the mutiny led by Davis 01 against Weyland-Yutani. Aliens: Defiance

Keitel had an expeditionary team outfitted and ready to go the the Shambleau System to search for the Derelict on the Savannah. At first the expedition's efforts seemed successful beyond all expectations. Keitel regularly sent reports detailing their analysis of the ancient fossilized crew of the ship. Aliens: Apocalypse

Jan 10: Zula Hendricks awakens from hypersleep as the Europa approaches Seegson station LV 44-40 at Zeta Doradus. When Davis 01 tells her of the plans Weyland-Yutani has for the Kiande Amedha, she agrees with his mutinous plans to stop them.

Jan 11: Davis 01 and Zula Hendricks board LV 44-40 for a search and rescue and re-arming mission. They find the crew dead, and Kiande Amedha infesting the station. Davis 01 downloads the station logs to the Europa while Zula finds a cache of weapons. They narrowly escape, destroying the specimens.

Sometime after leaving LV 44-40, the Davis units other than Davis 01 reconnect to the Weyland-Yutani network, and their orders are updated. Davis 01 programs his own firewalls to block access to the Network. The other units try to seize control of the Europa and kill Zula and Davis 01, but are unsuccessful and ultimately destroyed.

In the period that follows, Zula and Davis 01 use data from LV 44-40 track Kiande Amedha infestations to Wright-Aberra waystation (encountering the debris of a ship en route littered with the corpses of both humans and Kiande Amedha).

At Wright-Aberra, they join up with sole survivor, Dr Hollis, and Zula is forced to destroy a Colonial Marine dropship escaping with Kiande Amedha specimens. After leaving Hollis reveals she is carrying a Queen, which she manages to surgically remove. Davis 01 freezes the Queen in a specially prepared chamber – intending to use it as leverage against the USCM and Weyland-Yutani.

However as environmental systems start to fail, Zula makes a deal with her doctor back on Earth to ensure their safe return. Things go from bad to worse, as the frozen compartment fails, waking the Queen and enabling her to grow to full size and the Europa is attacked by pirates. Outnumbered, Zula releases the Queen from containment and the resulting battle inflicts yet more damage on the ship.

Entering Earth-space, a USCM base fires on the Europa, sending it crashing towards Earth. Davis 01 straps a fuel cell to the now dead Queen and incinerates it, while Zula and Hollis evacuate the ship in a lifeboat.

Zula goes back into rehab and treated for addiction to painkillers, but is discharged from the Marines. Hollis has remnants of Queen DNA removed by Weyland-Yutani, and dies in the process.

Zula hires some mercenaries and dives to the submerged wreck of the Europa, retrieving the main processor chip from Davis 01's head. Aliens: Defiance

Keitel's reports regarding the Derelict in the Shambleau System to the Geholgod grew erratic, and eventually ceased altogether. Diagnostics indicated no equipment malfunctions, life support scans registered no disruptions. Yet, communications have stopped. The Keitel team does not respond. So, the Geholgod assumed something has gone wrong.

However, Keitel's troop were really loading up their ship, the Savannah, to relocate to another planet. Dr Rhodes loades up the last of the Ovomorphs, but has to stay behind as he is inpregnated with a kiande amedha embryo growing inside him. Aliens: Apocalypse

Tamar secures an Ovomorph from the Weyland-Yutani ship Proximo and delivers it to the V-22 facility on Jericho 3.

Around the same time, former Colonial Marine Zula Hendricks takes up a position as a security trainer at V-22. With her is the ‘consciousness’ of her companion from the Europa, Davis 01, stored on a personal AI assistant.

Hassan Bagrov, a technician and professional ‘guinea pig’ is exposed to the Ovomorph by Dr Gagnon and his synthetic assistant Brigette. The kiande amedha spawned carries a form of necrosis, something that Hassan had been previously exposed to and treated for – though traces remained in his system. Shortly after birth it escapes into the ventilation system

Tamar and Brigette investigate the creature's victims while trying to keep it quiet and are soon joined by Zula and her security trainees. Gagnon kills himself after being infected with necrosis from the creature and Brigette is badly damaged. Her consciousness assists Davis 01 in infiltrating the V-22 central computer in order to refresh the air in the personnel area and flush out the necrosis being spread through the air conditioning.

Of Zula’s trainees, Miriam Castro is killed fighting the kiande amedha in the med center and Nicholas Hauata kills himself after being infected with necrosis. While trying to force the creature into an airlock, Brenna Lister is killed and Tamar is also infected with necrosis and runs outside. The kiande amedha catches her before she suffocates.

Zula and the remaining trainees follow the kiande amedha outside in a skimmer and both Virgil Townsend and Angela Cade are killed fighting it. Zula manages to lure the kiande amedha into the skimmer, then jumps out while Davis 01 takes over the controls and overloads the engines, finally killing the creature.

One week later: With a third of bases 537 staff dying from exposure to necrosis, plans are made to shut V-22 down. The surviving trainees – Ronny Yoo, Masako Littlefield, Ray Ackerman, Donnell Stockton and Genevieve Parks – elect to remain with Venture while Zula and Davis 01 depart for Earth in the hopes of finding Amanda Ripley.

Brother John is born. This event takes part in an alternate multiverse from the events of Alien³ 1992 movie. Alien3 (Vincent Ward unproduced script)

Throop's company, Throop Rescue and Recovery, was in the red. So when she was contacted by Dr Emil Factor, telling her he had a job for her outfit, she decided to take up the offer.

At Geholgod, she met with Doctors Factor, Burroughs, Pratyeka, and Tellurian.

The Geholgod has a problem of an extremely confidential nature, and they choose Throop Rescue and Recovery after it had been thoroughly researched. Geholgod wishes to avoid the conglomerates, as much of the information that predicated their problem was obtained somewhat surreptitiously from Weyland-Yutani.

The Geholgod wants Keitel and his team back, safe and sound, and with their research.

3 days later.

Throop meets Dr Tellurian in a snow-covered forest clearing, holding aloft a great grey owl, named Wicket. His summons held a different tone than their last meeting. Although Throop was satisfied with her briefing at the Geholgod, she knew Dr Factor wasn't completely forthcoming. Tellurian says he cannot disclose much, as certain surgically installed failsafes prevent him from speaking freely. He tells her the reason Keitel left for the stars was because of a paleontological dig deep within Australia's great sandy desert in 2116 AD.

Tellurian believes this could have a bearing on Throop's mission. More info will be accessible after she's completed her Particle Shift. Throop is curious as to why Tellurian is providing her with more info than her comrades. He admits that the others have forgotten their mission. They have come to think, like the conglomerates they detest, that people are safer not knowing certain things.

Throop notices a cross on his lapel. He admits he is a member of the Order of St Thomas. Tellurian would see a return of the dissemination of knowledge and let the chips fall where they may. He admits that Throop has taken on an extraordinarily dangerous job in order to save her company.

The Geholgod's Captain Mutombo will see Throop and the Rachel safely to their destination. Mutombo is a bit shocked that Throop only brought 2 associates. Mutombo then informs Throop their equipment is in the central hold, and mentions a delivery made to her cabin just before they departed. It is Tellurian's Wicket, with a note stating there is much to learn from such a bird.

The Rachel stops at Asteroid L927, a Weyland-Yutani mining operation. However, one of Mutombo's synthetics, Deimos, is discovered to be a plant, and Mutombo blasts his head off.

With Deimos' head destroyed, the Rachel uses the Particle Drive to reach their destination. Scanning no sign of the Savannah, they board the Derelict 75 minutes later.

Throop, Jellicoe, Khorfu, and Baal enter the ship, where they encounter the fossilized pilot and determine Keitel's life supports were still up. After decompressing, they discover an abandoned campsite. Khorfu leaves to do a quick tour of the area, and encounters Rhodes' skeletal remains, his rib cage having exploded outward, and discovers a kiande amedha crawling closer.

Meanwhile, Throop and the team discover a relay complex. She informs Mutombo that she believes the Keitel Expedition's been bouncing their reports from somewhere else through the relay station. She is interupted by Khorfu's screams. A kiande amedha watches from a higher vantage, with Khorfu's body, as Throop and Baal find nothing but a pool of blood. She orders Jellicoe back to the airlock. Throop realizes that Tellurian knew about the creatures, and tried to warn her. A kiande amedha approaches the two of them, but Baal shoves Throop aside so the kiande amedhais forced to deal with him first.

As Throop runs away, she encounters a room full of Ovomorphs, and opts not to go through them. Doubling back, she concludes that the entire ship was booby-trapped as a kiande amedha pounces on her, but is saved again by Baal, now missing an arm. As Throop makes it to safety, Baal is ripped in half by the kiande amedha. Throop decides she needs to go back to rescue Baal, to determine what he knows. As she watches the kiande amedha leave, she exits the ship and retrieves Baal's head, turns back and sees kiande amedha waiting above the airlock doors. Throop gets back in as the kiande amedha reaches in for her, but is squished by the doors.

Mutombo immediately orders Massey to disengage and back them out, but Throop demands they remain to get Khorfu. She also demands Mutombo tell her what she doesn't know about her mission. He claims he didn't know as he would never risk his own ship to an alien life form. Throop believes someone set them up.

Baal comes online, barely, and informs Throop that Khorfu is dead, nothing more than a food source, and that it was Keitel who set them up.

Mutombo says they can trace sub-space signals back to their source, but Throop wants no part of it. She signed on as a rescue mission, not manhunt. Especially as she already lost one associate. Mutombo reminds her she is still under contract. Throop does not like it, but agrees. She tells Mutombo to get Baal online as she wants him debriefed. She still believed, though, that Tellurian knew all along as well. With that, she takes the bird out of cryosleep to study it, just as she begins studying some files Tellurian slipped her.

The next day, Throop confides in Jellicoe that Tellurian left her the files and bird. She knows there's more to the mission than they were told, and everything revolves around Keitel. Geholgod had learned of the existence of the kiande amedha through the files Keitel lifted from Weyland-Yutani. They discovered them with their Derelict in the Zeta 2 Reticuli system, but Throop believes that Geholgod didn't expect them to find the kiande amedha here.

The files indicate Tellurian suspected that Keitel had a secret agenda behind the mounting of his expedition. Keitel had a theory that the kiande amedha had invaded Earth billions of years ago, exterminating all life on the planet at that time - based on some evidence from the Australian dig, matched with some descriptions of the Weyland-Yutani Derelict's creatures. Seems they totally wiped out that ship's ancient crew.

Throop asks Jellicoe if she wants to call it quits, but she admits Throop Rescue and Recovery is down the tubes if they don't complete the job. Jellicoe, at least, wants to find the person who got Khorfu killed. Wicket takes off and starts attacking a cargo box. Mutombo comes to crack it open. He doesn't recogize the serial code, and has Arch bring the xray scanner to investivate. Inside are kiande amedha Ovomorphs. Mutombo discovers that the lot was brought onboard by Deimos. Throop decides to let Mutombo read through Tellurian's files and hopes he decides to jettison the cargo into space.

Baal's head had been salvaged and placed on Deimos' body, but cautions everyone that there may be subversive sleeper directives programmed into Deimos' body, so he should be constatly monitored.

Massey announces that he has a fix on the Keitel Expidition's relative location - it's past the Daksin Ray Cluster. With that, they activate the Particle Drive and immediately upon arriving they trace the Savannah's ID signal to the planet's surface. They descend to the planet surface.

Mutombo, Cain, Jellicoe, and Throop leave to investigate, and enounter a giant circular pit, which is where the Savannah's signal is coming from. There are steps spiraling around its ege going down, with strange pictures etched into the walls and, unseen, were kiande amedha watching the trio. Once they reach bottom, the kiande amedha attack. As Throop open fires, Cain is killed, followed quickly by the abduction of Mutombo.

Just as the kiande amedha surround the two left, Keitel arrives. The kiande amedha seem to bow down and obey him as he sprays the two humans, who promptly pass out when Keitel opend their visors and they breathe in "Rhodes' Vaccine". When they regain consciousness, he welcomes them to his lab - a giant Jockey subterranean city.

Throop and Jellicoe awaken again after a second dose of "Rhodes' Vaccine" to meet Hannibal Sten, captain of the Savannah. Keitel was off tending to his research. A group of kiande amedha race right pass them as if they were not there, demonstrating the effectiveness of "Rhodes' Vaccine". But, as Sten noticed, they were being drawn to something - turns out Massey was landing the Rachel in the pit clearing. But it is not an attack - they sense the Ovomorphs inside.

Throop and Jellicoe race inside and update Massey. Massey's reaction is to leave, but Throop opts to stay and fulfil her mission. Loading up with some weapons, Throop exits the Rachel with Arch, Jellicoe and Wicket. Wicket becomes frantic sensing the nearby kiande amedha, and are forced to put its hood on.

Keitel recognizes Wicket and confirms that Mutombo is already dead. He then takes them on a tour. He admits that he is impressed that Throop traced him so quickly, and admits that it was necessary to hide his relocation. He says he was led here by the crew of the Derelict. They left a fantastically detailed description of their journey. Dr Nelligan, Keitel's linguists expert, was able to crack some of it, enough to reprogram the Savannah's rudder, and bring them to his current location. This was the Derelict's port of departure, one of thousands of worlds they colonized.

Throop questions him about the Australian dig in 2116. He fills her in on his findings of ancient life 3.2 billion years ago and how the kiande amedha exterminated all life on earth, on the LV-426 Derelict, and Keitel's Derelict, and including the planet he was currently on.

Throop realizes that other than Hannibal Sten, she hasn't seen any others from Keitel's expedition, to which Keitel promises to answer later.

On the Rachel, Baal lets Sten inside despite Massey's objection. Arming himself, Massey goes out to look for Sten, but Sten ambushes Massey, knocking him out with a wrench. Baal arrives, but offers no resistance to Sten's demand to locate the Ovomorphs onboard. Sten says some of the Ovomorphs Keitel brought were infertile. In the cargo bay, Sten opens the crate and willingly allows himself to be facehugged. Massey arrives, and shots Sten dead. The Facehugger detaches and attacks Massey. He calls for help from Baal, who stands idle, watching.

Keitel brings Throop and Jellicoe to the pilot chamber, where a barely-alive Space Jockey sits. All the Jockeys were sealed in the chamber and subjected to some form of catatonic suspension, which works on a molecular level. With their race on the verge of extinction, they resorted to this, to hibernate and outlast the kiande amedha. However, now only one still lives. The kiande amedha that were on the planet were long gone, and the Ovomorphs didn't fare well on the planet. Keitel says he brought Ovomorphs with him to the planet. Throop, knowing that the Ovomorphs need living hosts to breed. His men, Nelligan, Grinkoff, Redgrave, Ito, Parriotti, and Joyce all willingly allowed themselves to be facehugged.

Keitel takes this a cue to leave. He attacks Jellicoe and Throop and races into the labryinth. Arch did not attempt to stop Keitel as she was not combat trained. Throop, not caring if they get Keitel, but grabs his research. She contacts Baal to tranfer files to him - file IAGO 100016 Taurus. However, Baal has become a sleeper agent, fails to mention Massey has been facehugged, and downloads the files into his own internal storage. He then leaves the ship with an Ovomorph.

With their last dose of "Rhodes Vaccine" worn off, Jellicoe and Throop start toward the Rachel when Wicket spots a kiande amedha above them and attacks.

Baal places the Ovomorph on the stomach of the Jockey.

Throop shoots her gun at the structure overhang the kiande amedha stood on, causing it to shatter. The structure and kiande amedha crash through the floor, and Wicket continues to chase the kiande amedha below. She realizes that the kiande amedha were using hunting strategy.

Continuing on, one kiande amedha breaks though the floor and abducts Jellicoe. Another kiande amedha tried sneaking up on Throop, but Arch attacked the creature. As Arch backed away, Throop shot the ground beneath the kiande amedha, sending it plungng downward. As yet another kiande amedha surfaced through to attack, Keitel arrived to stop it with a cattle prod.

Keitel is angered that Weyland-Yutani learned he had come to the planet and found a away to sabotage his work. He then apologizes to them for running from them. He admits he has conducted terrible but necessary acts as he believes the great Cosmic Cycle of Extinction is wheeling around again (kiande amedha having nearly eradicated the Jockeys ). He now believes Throop to be his prophet, and advises her to take his research back to Earth and tell them about the kiande amedha. Keitel admits he manipulated his men but he needed subjects.

A loud moan interupted their talk - the Jockey just gave birth to a Chestburster. Throop immediately demands Keitel take her to the nest so she can retrieve Jellicoe and Mutombo. Initially he refuses as even with the Vaccine the kiande amedha would not allow them in. She insists so Keitel agrees only if Arch returns to the Rachel with his research - so if Throop does not return it would still reach Earth.

At the nest Throop finds the two humans cocooned to the wall and tries to go down, but Keitel stops her - pointing out that the kiande amedha have been patiently watching and following them every step of the way. At that point, the Jockey kiande amedha bursts through the wall, holding a destroyed Ball in its hand. The other kiande amedha immediately attack it. In the commotion, Throop retrieves Jellicoe, but Mutombo was dead. Keitel stays behind as Jellicoe and Throop race away. When they reach it they discover one kiande amedha inside. Wicket distracted it long enough for the Jockey kiande amedha to arrive and grab the kiande amedha.

After departure, Arch informs Throop she resecured the remaining Ovomorphs but couldn't find the 2nd kiande amedha onboard. Throop mends Wicket's wing, amd she now sports a few grey hair strands. Aliens: Apocalypse

Zula Hendricks tracks down Amanda Ripley on Earth in order to enlist her help in her fight against the kiande amedha and Weyland-Yutani. Using the unlicensed colony ship Gaspar as cover, Zula, Amanda and Davis 01 launch their ship, the Celestial, from Mexico City to a classified Company blacksite.

After nine days in hypersleep they arrive and find the Gaspar is there as well. Eleven hundred colonists on the Gaspar are off loaded to the Company installation and exposed to a gas by combat androids, then loaded back onto their ship and sent into a decaying orbit toward the moon below.

Amanda and Zula fight off the droids on the installation while Davis 01 arms a nuclear failsafe. They get separated from the station and end up falling to the moon below in a hex-ball, using the Gaspar to help shield their entry into the atmosphere.

Arming themselves from the now abandoned Gaspar, they only manage to find one survivor of the Company’s experiments – a teenage boy named Alec Brand – and evacuate him aboard the Celestial, piloted by Davis 01. With the nuke in orbit about to detonate, Amanda and Zula tell him to leave with Brand as he is the evidence of Weyland-Yutani’s crimes. Holding off a kiande amedha horde and low on ammo, the explosion hits the moon. Amanda and Zula take shelter under the hex ball.

Later:

Alec Brand is returned to Luna Base and his testimony condemns the Company.

Weyland-Yutani is charged for their actions and is punished with massive fines. In the years that follow they pay lobbyists to try to get the laws they broke changed and make plans to return to the blacksite.

After about 3 weeks on the moon, Davis 01 returns in the Celestial to rescue Amanda and Zula them, having survived thanks to the moons unique biome that thrives on radiation. The moon itself however, thanks to the force of the nuke, begins to break up.

Brand eventually joins the Colonial Marines. Aliens: Resistance

Lucy Jordan had gotten romantically connected with the DSMO Marion's main engineer, Chris 'Hoop' Hooper. Despite their brief engagement, they remained good friends later. A docking accident killed three miners during Jordan's stay onboard the Marion, and it was her job as Captain to contact the families and express her sympathies. She was severely impacted by the incident, and she did not leave her cabin for three days as she processed her grief. Aliens: Out of the Shadows

Day 0

An incident occurs in the trimonite mine on LV-178, where the miners come across an ancient Kiande Amedha nest. During the evacuation to the Marion, over 40 personnel are killed when the shuttlecraft Delilah crashes into the station, and the second shuttlecraft Samson docks, but is over-run by Kiande Amedha. Only eight personnel survive - Hooper, Karen Sneddon, Josh Baxter, Powell, Kasyanov, Lachance, Welford, and Garcia. Chris 'Hoop' Hooper is ranking officer following the death of Captain Lucy Jordan. With the surviving Kiande Amedha sealed on board the Samson, they discover their orbit is decaying and send out a distress signal.

Day 47

Audio visual contact with the docked Samson is lost.

77 days later

The Nostromo's shuttle Narcissus docks with the Marion. Ellen Ripley is woken and shocked to find 37 years have passed since the incident on the Nostromo. It's soon discovered that Ash uploaded his AI into the Narcissus' databanks, and has kept Ripley out in space all this time looking for more evidence of the Kiande Amedha. He picked up the Marion's distress signal and re-routed them.

Day 80

Ripley and the Marion crew devise a plan to use the Samson to fly down to the mine to retrieve fuel cells compatible with the Narcissus, and then use the Narcissus to evacuate the Marion. The plan to flush the four Kiande Amedha out of the Samson does not completely go to plan. Three Kiande Amedha are killed, but one escapes into the bowels of the Marion, costing the lives of Welford, Powell and Garcia.

After they fly down to LV-178, Ash takes control of the elevators in the mine remotely, sending the crew to level 9 instead of level 4. They find evidence of an ancient extraterrestrial race that encountered the kiande amedha and were wiped out. They battle their way through the ancient races downed ship up to level 4 and obtain a fuel cell, but not before Sneddon is impregnated by a Facehugger. Hoop rewires another fuel cell to overload and hopeful destroy the mine and kiande amedha.

As they ascend to the surface, Baxteris killed when he is partly pulled out of the elevator by an Kiande Amedha and torn in half.

Lachance flies them back to the Marion where the new fuel cell is loaded. Ash releases the remaining Kiande Amedha from where he had it trapped in the hold. Just after they witness the explosion of the mine on LV-178, the Kiande Amedha attacks Lachance, Ripley, Sneddon and Kasyanov as they gather supplies. Lachance is killed and Ripley is gravely wounded. Sneddon sacrifices herself by chasing the Kiande Amedha into hold 2 with an acid gun, and causing a hull breach just as her Chestburster emerges.

Kasyanov and Hoop take Ripley to the medbay, where she is put in a medpod and healed. She also requests to have a partial memory wipe to combat the constant waking nightmares she has of her daughter Amanda being killed by Kiande Amedha. Kasyanov, also wounded, then takes her turn in the medpod, but Ash takes control and kills her with a surgical laser.

Ripley, never waking, is placed back in her hypersleep pod while Hoop uses a viral program to purge Ash from the Narcissus' databanks. However, it soon emerges than the shuttle can only be released from dock manually. Hoop locks up the Narcissus and ensures that it is launched before he narrowly escapes on the Samson.

Without hypersleep or a hyperdrive, Hoop sends a distress signal and waits. Aliens: Out of the Shadows

The kiande amedha population quickly grew to a considerable size aboard the Thanatos and decimated a large portion of the human inhabitants. The survivors spread all over the ship, barricading themselves or roaming the ship in search of help. Meanwhile, the kiande amedha set up a Hive in the living quarters section of the ship. At an unknown point in time during the outbreak, one or several crew members managed to set off a distress beacon.

Eventually, the distress beacon was picked up by a USCM Conestoga-class vessel which carried a contingent of Colonial Marines back home to Earth from a training mission. Following proper procedure, MOTHER woke up the soldiers and set course for the Thanatos. The investigation was commenced two-fold. While a recon team led by Corporal Brooke landed in the docking bay of the ship aboard a UD-4L Cheyenne-class dropship, the Conestoga-class transport connected directly to the Thanatos using one of the freighter's docking arms and would serve as a safe haven for the civilians rescued during the incident.

Immediately after the landing, Brookeand his comrades secured the docking bay and erected a command post there. From there, the team fought their way to the cargo bays, eliminating kiande amedha and rescuing surviving crew members along the way. The next objective was to enter the main body, but an elevator malfunction stranded the Marines in a secluded area of the cargo bay. After killing an unspecified large kiande amedha roaming the section, the USCM soldiers found an alternate route into the actual ship. An assessment of the ship's condition was devastating: Most of the interior has been claimed or destroyed by the kiande amedha. The team eventually found and rescued a scientist, who pointed the Marines to a prototype weapon stored inside the crew quarters: The Smart Gun.

Shortly after the team had reached the living quarters and secured the weapon, the commanding officer aboard the USCM Conestoga-class vessel informed the group that all survivors had been found and that the evacuation of the Thanatos was underway. Meanwhile, Brooke's soldiers reached the Hive and killed the Queen in a fierce battle. At the same time, the other USCM members completed the evacuation and armed the self-destruct mechanism of the freighter. Brooke and his team escaped the Thanatos in the nick of time aboard their dropship and flew to the mother ship, which already had moved to the minimum safety distance. With the crisis over and all survivors alive and well, the transport resumed its course to Earth. Aliens: Thanatos

Immediately after his activation, Bishop is quizzed by a technician named Dr. Sasaki to ensure he does not suffer from any potentially dangerous faults in his character programming. Dr. Sasaki releases Bishop into a room containing other similar androids, although she privately voices her concern that he may be flawed, possessing emotional capabilities exceeding his intended capacity. Noting the reactions of people around him to his unorthodox responses, Bishop decides that his is simply different.

Some time later, Bishop is attached to a Colonial Marine unit led by Lieutenant Lew "Lucky" Larsen. Their mission was to free a group of hostages on Haarsa Colony from a group of predominantly ex-military criminals known as Company F. Following a firefight with the hostage-takers, Larsen orders Bishop to check the wounded and tag those able to be evacuated, explaining that their orders are to destroy the colony's air converters and abandon the remaining hostages. Realizing the destruction of the converters will flood the facility with deadly Pervox gas, Bishop questions his orders, but is overruled.

After tagging the wounded, Bishop elects to take gas masks to the hostages, ignoring Larsen's attempts to stop him. Upon reaching the rest of the Company F mercenaries, Bishop discovers they are equipped with another Bishop-model synthetic named Rook. As Bishop attempts to reason with the hostage-takers from cover, Rook ambushes him; Bishop easily beats him in hand-to-hand combat and destroys Rook's central processor with his own knife. Then, posing as Rook, he returns to the surviving Company F soldiers. At that moment the Marines destroy the converters with explosives, and poisonous gas spreads throughout the colony. As the mercenaries and hostages are overcome, Bishop places the gas masks he has brought along on the hostages, saving their lives.

Bishop begins ferrying the hostages to the dropship left for him on the landing pad, but when he returns for the final two he is shot by a two Company F mercs, who survived in an air pocket long enough to steal gas masks from two of the hostages. As the two mercenaries mock the now partially-paralysed Bishop, and knowing they will slaughter the other hostages before leaving, Bishop overcomes his programming that safeguards human life, remotely deactivates the men's gas masks, and exposes them to the Pervox gas, killing them. As his last act, Bishop remotely pilots the dropship into orbit, saving the hostages, before shutting down.

When Bishop reactivates, he finds himself in a med bay being tended to by Private Hudson, under the watchful eye of Sergeant Apone. He learns from the Marines that they recovered him from Haarsa Colony to replace their own synthetic, lost in action several missions previously. As they acquaint themselves with their new team member, Private Hudson teaches Bishop the knife game. Aliens 1986 movie / Aliens: Bug Hunt

Christine Packard enters her first marraige contract with her husband. This event takes part in an alternate multiverse from the events of Alien³. Alien³ Twohy Unproduced script

After moving around fifteen different colony worlds since the children were born, the Shipps take an assignment on Zagreus. Orbiting twin suns, the Earth-like planet teems with native flora and fauna.

Three months into the assignment, a team including John Shipp investigates a derelict in orbit. All aboard are killed and the derelict crashes unleashing an kiande amedha infestation. One of Olivia’s school mates, Paul Gladney, is among the first killed. Viola’s secret is exposed, triggering anti-android sentiment in some Zagreus locals. Katherine sacrifices herself enabling Olivia, her girlfriend Kora Burton, Michel Petrov, Juan, Lin and Alisa along with Viola to escape back to the main colony. Before they can all get into the colony however, Michel and Viola are taken by the kiande amedha.

Olivia and Kora go after them in an ATV and find the Alien hive. Both Michel and Katherine are comatose and stuck to the wall, having been impregnated by facehuggers. Viola has been damaged, resulting in her needing to be decapitated so they can take her with them.

They return to the colony, intending to evacuate in the Shipp’s shuttle and find it has been turned into a slaughterhouse. Kora’s mother Delia, the colony governor who arranged the purchase of the derelict to be used for scrap – has been impregnated, but is attacked by an kiande amedha spawned from a Lion-worm – a local predatory species. It rips Delia in half killing the unborn embryo she is carrying.

Attracted to pheromones that were accidentally spilled on Viola, the kiande amedha chases the girls, but is ultimately killed when Olivia lures it onto a catwalk, then shoots out the supports sending it falling into a pile of sharp scrap metal.

The shuttle, While There’s Hope, launches into orbit and sends out a distress signal. Aliens: Echo

Under orders of the ICC, Lt Jeremy Cruz is dispatched to Marine Space Force, Sol. Aliens: Colonial Marines

Responding to a distress call from the cargo ship Shiname Maru, a group of Colonial Marines under the command of Captain Ogambe discover the vessel has been struck by an unknown object that is now buried in the ship's side, emitting incredibly bright light from its outer surface sufficient to cause severe headaches and retina damage if stared at for too long. Boarding the vessel, the Marines find many of the crew have been massacred, their frozen body parts floating like jetsam in the ship's failed artificial gravity, while the survivors have sealed themselves in the cargo bay at the rear of the craft.

The unit is soon attacked by a long, tentacle-like metallic appendage that has emerged from the object buried in the Shiname Maru's hull, which kills a Marine named Perkins instantly and drags her corpse away. As two other Marines, Callaghan and Pho, head after her, they are attacked first by another tentacle and then a large, mechanical creature. The multi-limbed, amorphous creature slices off one of Pho's arms before capturing the wounded Marine and carrying him away. Callaghan is joined by Ogambe and another Marine named Bendez and the trio manages to fight the mechanical beast off, Callaghan noting as he does that Pho's body had been assimilated into its structure.

The defeated creature splits into three separate, smaller constructs and attacks again, Callaghan noting that each of the monsters is attached to the glowing object in the Shiname Maru's side by cables and mechanical tethers. Ogambe destroys one of the creatures but is badly wounded, while Callaghan throws a hand grenade at the glowing object, badly damaging it and incapacitating the other attacking creatures. More Marines open fire on the damaged object, but suddenly it spews forth a wave of viscous fluid that coats the floor and walls in its path. Callaghan grabs the wounded Ogambe and he and Bendez retreat.

The fluid begins breaking down the ship, and Callaghan realizes the object is consuming the vessel to fuel its own repairs. Realizing the machine and its constructs will simply keep repairing any damage they can deal, Callaghan assumes command and elects to jettison the ship's surviving crew in the cargo bay module before the Marines themselves abandon the vessel. As the rest of the unit holds off repeated attacks by the mechanical creatures, Callaghan severs the umbilicals linking the cargo bay to the forward part of the Shiname Maru and jettisons it. With the crew safe, the surviving Marines board their jump ship and evacuate back to their own cruiser. They watch as the unknown object continues to consume the Shiname Maru, and Callaghan insists they destroy it with their cruiser's weapons. Aliens: Bug Hunt – Distressed

Corporal Dwayne Hicks and his unit are almost wiped out trying to find out what happened to the starship Paradox and the marine unit (led by Rachel Miller-Hicks) sent to find it five years earlier.

Hicks is assigned as part of a mission to recover USCM equipment the same uninhabited moon his wife died on, thankful but not surprised that the operation that claimed his wife's life had been buried so deep this connection to it had now been overlooked. As part of a squad under the command of Sergeant "Gunny" Maxwell, Hicks travels to the moon, keeping his own, very personal interest in the mission secret.

After setting down on the surface, the squad soon finds the wreck of the USS Paradox. Moving inside, the unit finds evidence of a firefight, before discovering the desiccated bodies of several Marines — including Rachel Miller-Hicks. Unable to conceal his emotions any more, Hicks reveals his connection to the previous operation. Moving on to the ship's hypersleep bay, the squad discovers some kind of alien nest, before they are attacked by the same creatures that slaughtered the previous operation. The squad is butchered, with only Hicks managing to escape and sealing the creatures inside the Paradox.

Upon returning to his home base and reuniting with his regular unit, Hicks finds comfort in having finally laid to rest his wife's fate. However, he still yearns for revenge against the creatures that killed her, and hopes one day to get the chance. Aliens: Bug Hunt - Reclamation

The Colonial Marines of the USS Montoro are wiped out by swarms of insects on LV-KR 115 while investigating a loss of contact with an industrial harvester.

Colonial Marines from the USS Montoro are sent to the agricultural planet LV-KR 115 to investigate the loss of contact with one of the two colossal harvesting machines operating there. While the unit's leader, Captain Broome, heads to the second harvester, Lieutenant Teller leads a second group towards the primary target, aware that the operation is a test of his potential leadership abilities. Their dropship encounters a severe storm on the way in, rendering pilot Canetti blind and forcing him to fly via instruments alone. Despite the hazardous conditions, Canetti manages to set his vehicle down on the now stationary harvester's landing pad.

Teller leads his squad into the harvester, saving Private O'Dowd who is almost blown over the side of the landing pad during the storm. Once inside, the Marines find the harvester powered down and seemingly deserted. As the squad travels further into the huge machine, the Marines make many bizarre discoveries — the exteriors doors have been welded shut from the inside, environmental suits are missing while the glass helmets have been left behind, wiring has been stripped out, and metal components from everyday items (such as a belt buckle and eye rings from a pair of work boots) are found lying on the floor.

The squad reaches the machine's bridge and discover that the exterior windows have been scoured to the point of becoming totally opaque. One of the Marines manages to power up the main computer and access a tracking record for the harvester. The information retrieved corroborates their mission briefing — prior to stopping altogether three weeks previously, the harvester had been moving off course for nine weeks. Investigating further, the log reveals that the machine hit something buried in the ground prior to going off-course, causing minor damage to the harvesting machinery. However, the entry does nothing to explain the harvester's subsequent movements or current condition.

Only when the squad finds an image in the log of the object the harvester hit does one of the Marines, Rogers, realize what has happened — the object was a nest, and when the harvester struck it it sliced off the top of the structure, opening it to the planet's atmosphere and unleashing the creatures within. The voracious locust-like organisms subsequently found a planet newly terraformed by Weyland-Yutani and now entirely covered in abundant crop life, leading to a population explosion. The monstrous swarm of creatures has subsequently scoured the area clean, stripping and devouring anything organic, including the harvester's crew and their clothes — minus metal parts such as belt buckles. As if to drive home the horror of the creatures' feeding frenzy, the Marines find four of the harvester's crew dead inside storage lockers on the bridge — the men sealed themselves inside and starved to death rather than emerge and become food for the aliens.

Teller immediately calls an abort to the mission, but it is too late. As the squad attempts to leave, the swarm arrives, devouring Canetti in an instant and pouring into the harvester through the doors the Marines opened. As Teller and his squad scatter in panic, one Marine named Bose makes a futile stand, firing into the onrushing swarm until it envelops and shreds him. Aliens: Bug Hunt – Reaper

Feb 12.

A team of unarmed soldiers led by a man named Sam Smith on the rescue shuttle Tulsa boards the Sulaco as it drifts in space. After discovering Bishop's severed legs, the team find that three of the cryotubes in the hypersleep bay have been smashed open, and amidst the shredded human remains sit three Ovomorphs. Sam finds a tattered nametag bearing the name "Ripley". At that moment, they are attacked by a kiande amedha hiding in the ceiling. With no weapons to defend themselves, the soldiers are quickly massacred.

Feb 26.

Sam wakes up at home, thinking he just had a nightmare. However, as he goes about his day, it becomes clear the nightmare was real — Sam was horrifically wounded but somehow survived, and has now been repaired with cybernetics, including a robotic right arm. He has no memory of what caused his injuries, and his father John Smith, a General in the US Army, tells him that his wounds were the result of a devastating electrical fire on board his ship two weeks previously. He confirms that the fire killed the rest of Sam's team.

Sam and his family, consisting of father John, mother Mary and younger brother and sister Mark and Karen, live amongst the farms on the outskirts of North Star, with extensive modern military and research facilities in the levels beneath. There has been a massively increased military presence in the two weeks Sam has been unconscious, and the families of the men killed on his team have all mysteriously left the station.

Sam and John descend into the lower levels so that Sam can have additional rubber skin grafted onto his incomplete robotic arm. While underground, Sam discovers that an area labelled "Sector C" is under tight military lockdown. After the operation is ferformed by an andriod technician, Sam is debriefed by his superiors, including Colonel Sinclair and Dr. Rand from the military's scientific research division, although he remembers nothing of the accident that nearly killed him. As they leave the underground facility, Sam sees a bodybag fall from a military truck departing Sector C, and sees inside several androids that were been totally eviscerated. That evening, at a bar in North Star, it becomes clear there is hostility between the locals and the military. Several farmers complain that soldiers have been confiscating their livestock. One farmer, Agar, claims to have seen one of Sam's team, Simpson, alive.

The following day, Sam returns to the military labs and attempts to view the tapes his team recorded on the mission where they were killed, but Dr. Rand has them marked classified. On his way back to the surface with Chong, Sam bumps into Simpson, still alive and now working the gas pumps in a large underground garage. He discovers Simpson has been lobotomized. He notices that Simpson has the same scar behind the right ear that he has.

Sam returns to the labs and demands at gunpoint to be shown the recordings. The tapes show his team being torn apart by a kiande amedha aboard the Sulaco, and how he really lost his arm. Sam confronts his father regarding the deception, but John claims he only lied to him to protect him from death or being lobotomized like Simpson. As his father leaves, he watches more military loading pigs on military transport veicles.

Sam sneaks aboard a military truck and rides it into Sector C. He ends up being tipped into a large chamber where he discovers all the confiscated animals are being intentionally impregnated by Facehuggers or used to feed kiande amedha. After narrowly escaping several Facehuggers and a dog Alien, Sam flees through the ventilation system. He sees Dr. Rand giving an injection to John in one of nearby laboratories, before watching a presentation being given to the military command by Dr. Rand regarding the kiande amedha. She shows how the kiande amedha's DNA is able to take over that of any other creature, and can even assimilate metals. She claims to have domesticated the kiande amedha, proposing to use them as a biological weapon, but as soon as the example subject is released from its restraints it brutally kills her, before turning on the audience. Some of the spectators manage to escape, but 30 others, including John, are trapped in the room with the creature when the doors automatically seal.

Sam returns at the head of a squad of soldiers and sneaks into the room alone while the others attempt to break in the door. He discovers John and a military Sergeant named Chong are still alive, hiding beneath corpses, but many of the other victims have been spun into cocoons and are apparently transforming. The kiande amedha responsible is dying, apparently of natural aging. Sam rescues Chong and John just as the cocoons hatch, revealing adult kiande amedha. The soldiers burst in, but discover the creatures have already broken through a wall and escaped.

The soldiers pursue the kiande amedha, but many of the military personnel, including Chong, are killed by explosive decompression when acid blood breaches the station's hull. The remaining kiande amedha flee across the station's outer hull and re-enter beneath the huge dome that covers North Star on the surface. They immediately go about attacking the population, starting with the remote farms surrounding the town. After Sam rescues his family from their home after a kiande amedha attack, they regroup with the others in the town and arm themselves.

The kiande amedha, now numbering in the hundreds, attack. After a protracted battle, the humans emerge victorious, although many are killed. In the aftermath, it is decided to send as many women and children as possible on ahead to the incoming rescue ship - the U.S. Army frigate Omaha - using the station's only shuttle, while the remaining survivors wait for it to arrive. As they wait, Sam's father John begins to look unwell. It is revealed that the injection Sam saw him receiving in the labs contained kiande amedha genetic material. Suddenly John undergoes a monstrous transformation, tearing the skin from his body and becoming a new form of human/kiande amedha hybrid. Worse still, a mosquito that bit him moments earlier has also transformed, and its now infecting animals all over North Star. The situation deteriorates further when a kiande amedha chicken lands in the town's reservoir, spreading the infection to the water supply.

As Sam and his family flee, the town begins to collapse in on itself. Along the way they are attacked by a huge kiande amedha, consisting of twenty human/kiande amedha hybrids all fused together into one enormous, amorphous creature. Sam, Mary, Mark and Karen manage to outrun it and they reach the last remaining ship on the station, a small fighter craft, as the entire structure beneath them begins to tear apart and reform. Unfortunately, the ship sits on the far side of a chasm and they cannot reach it. The mutated John reappears and prepares to attack, but Sam pleads with John's remaining humanity and the creature relents, lifting his family gently onto the shuttle. They take off, and behind them the disintegrating remains of the station fuse with John and all the other kiande amedha to become one giant biomechanical creature.

Aboard the shuttle, Sam puts his family into hypersleep and records a final distress message for the incoming rescue ship. Suddenly, the shuttle itself comes alive, also infected by the kiande amedha virus. The creature that was the space station reappears, closing in on them fast, forming into a colossal mouth. Sam and his family don spacesuits, and before blowing the access hatch and ejecting themselves from the transforming shuttle, Sam fires its nuclear warheads. The resultant explosion kills the kiande amedha creatures. Sam, Mary, Mark and Karen drift in space as the rescue ship arrives.

Several new inmates are being transferred to Moloch Island Prison, a giant prison in orbit around Earth. The Guard Captain instructs Daggs that Styles, because he tried escaping from 2 other institutions, is to be in full shackles when outside the block, and be in line of sight at all times. Styles and the new arrivals — Grimes, Van Brundt, Domingo and Kiryu — are put straight to work. As they clock off that evening (paid with newly-minted coins), a long-time inmate, Ivory, is taken away by the guards as his execution is finally due.

The new inmates struggle to find a vacant cell in the cell block, which is essentially unpoliced and run by the prisoners. A shady inmate called Bellhop offers to show them to vacant cells if they give him some of their meagre earnings from the foundry. They agree, and Bellhop takes them to the basement-like lowest level, closer to the gravity generators, where most of the cells are suspiciously empty, the only occupants a collection of deranged or physically handicapped individuals. That night, Styles hears strange scratching noises from the maintenance area beneath his cell.

The following morning, Ivory's execution in the gas chamber is broadcast throughout the cell block. However, unknown to the prisoners, Ivory is not killed, and reawakens inside a small bunker. Almost immediately, something begins pounding against the outside of the structure, and in moments the kiande amedha responsible breaks through and tears him apart. In the foundry later that day, Styles sabotages some of the machinery to save the lives of several prisoners, but accidentally shuts down the entire facility. One of the guards brutally attacks him for his actions, impaling him on a post.

Styles is patched up in the infirmary, the operation carried out by robotic arms controlled by a surgeon on Earth and watched over by Daggs. Afterwards, Styles tries to convince the diagnostic physiologist in charge, Packard, to give him a job as her assistant instead of in the foundry. Initially wary, she agrees after she catches one of her med-techs high on drugs. Styles meets some of her co-workers, including a man named Reed who works in the secretive P-4 laboratory elsewhere on Moloch Island Prison . That night, a kiande amedha breaks through the floor of the cell next to Styles and kills its occupant, a paraplegic prisoner, before squeezing through the cell bars and killing another inmate in the adjacent cell. By the time the guards arrive the creature is gone. The incident is passed off as an attack by a rabid prison dog - even though there has been no case of rabies in three years and none of the dogs on the station had it.

A Weyland-Yutani representative called Mr. Lone arrives at Moloch Island Prison to survey the progress of the kiande amedha experiments, and is shown another kiande amedha being grown in the P-4 lab. He is told it will be ready in time for the next scheduled prisoner execution. Lone makes it clear he is also aware of the attack in the cell block, and orders the kiande amedha responsible to be hunted down and destroyed. He also relieves Warden Wells of her duties and schedules her on the next ship back to Gateway Station.

Meanwhile, in light of the attack on the prisoners, Styles and the others elect to try and escape. The following night, they make their attempt, but the kiande amedha discovers them as they move through the station's water pipes. It kills Grimes, Domingo and Kiryu, while Van Brundt is killed by a trap set for the creature by the guards. The guards kill the kiande amedha and recapture Styles - but not before discovering the kiande amedha's victims remains - including Ivory. Styles is thrown into solitary confinement.

Styles manages to convince Packard of what has been happening, and she sneaks into the P-4 lab to investigate. She uses the severed hand of the now-dead captain to gain access. Within, she finds not only the kiande amedha that is being grown, but a room containing a host of earlier attempts in suspended animation, some of which are grotesquely deformed. She also finds the tapes of the tests being conducted on supposedly executed prisoners. She confronts Lone and Reed, who convinces her nothing illegal has been done and suggests she remain quiet. However, when Packard discovers the attack on the inmates in the cells was also arranged by Lone, she decides to free Styles and escape with him.

Their attempt ends in disaster when Moloch Island Prison 's hull is ruptured by gunfire from the guards, the accident causing an incoming shuttle to crash into the station, decompressing the entire cell block and killing thousands of prisoners. The incident also causes two of the Newbreed Alien being grown in the P4 lab to awaken, kill Reed, and escape. Styles, Packard and the few survivors with them agree they have to team up if they want to get off the station alive, which is rapidly losing air. Packard and Daggs go about making the necessary preparations for their escape, encountering the Newbreed Alien and Brute Alien fighting to the death as they do so - the Newbreed Alien eventually wins. Meanwhile, Mohl meets with Lone and provides the original amberized face-hugger discovered 3 years ago.

Styles confronts Lone, who is attempting to flee aboard his personal shuttle, and throws him to his death, revealing him to be an android.

With the station's air supply finally running out and the last kiande amedha in pursuit, Styles, Packard and Daggs don space suits and leap from Moloch Island Prison into space, hoping to reach Lone's shuttle, which is drifting nearby. They succeed and climb aboard, before flying the craft directly into the kiande amedha, tearing it apart. Some time later, the survivors are picked up by ICC cutter 27.

Marines under Lt Emma Paulson - Apone, Crowe, Dietrich, Frost, Hicks, Hudson, Stenbeck, Vasquez, Wierzbowski, Zeller, and new recruit Private Malinka — are given orders to neutralize the hostile fauna that has been killing Weyland-Yutani scientists on Clytemnestra, an inhospitable moon that harbors vital chemical resources. As the squad descends in their dropship, piloted by Khan and Spunkmeyer, Dietrich regrets a night of heavy drinking — and alcohol-induced passion — with Corporal Stenbeck, despite having put an end to their brief relationship two months previously.

Once on the surface, the unit gears up in their environment suits and moves out into the turbulent, poisonous, dust-laden atmosphere. They are soon set upon by the creatures responsible for slaying the Weyland-Yutani science teams — thin, kite-like creatures with glass-like skin that ride the tremendous gusts to attack their prey from the air. Two of the creatures attack Stenbeck, and when Malinka shoots one of them, it violently explodes, triggering a chain reaction of detonations that spreads to all the other nearby kites, including the one upon Stenbeck. The blast kills him instantly, and wounds Malinka.

While the rest of the squad try to keep the aliens at bay, Dietrich and Frost draw their combat knives, unable to fire upon any of the creatures that get close. Dietrich steps in to attack a kite swooping down on Zeller and Malinka, only to realize her blade cannot pierce the creature's glassy skin. It circles away and another kite attacks Zeller, who fights it in vain with his knife. The creature tears his suit, exposing him to the caustic, poisonous atmosphere and subjecting him to a hideous death. Dietrich shoots the creature attacking him, incinerating them both and ending Zeller's suffering.

Realizing the futility of their situation, Paulson orders a retreat and the squad falls back to their dropship. Back on board, the Marines are horrified when Paulson and Khan inform them the creatures are in fact the source of the precious chemical Weyland-Yutani requires — and that their orders are to capture one alive. Aghast but with no alternative, the survivors suit up and prepare to step back out into hell. Aliens: Bug Hunt – Blowback

When their ship sets down on Sullivan 9 to refuel, Colonial Marines Dietrich and Frost slip away from their unit to go drinking in the remote Last Chance bar, located several miles outside the refueling station. The few locals inside greet them with threatening gruffness, but the bartender serves the pair without hostility. As the Marines drink, the other occupants begin talking cryptically about an unknown danger that faces them; when Dietrich and Frost question them on it, the locals show them their friend, whom the Marines had assumed was simply slumped unconscious in the corner, revealing some form of large alien insect clamped to the man's chest.

The locals — consisting of patrons Jesse, Tim, and bartender Berto — explain that their friend, Park, was attacked by the creature outside. When they saw more of the insects, they brought him back inside rather than trying to carry him to the refuelling station. Tim's attempt to pry the insect off of Park's chest resulted in the creature badly burning his hand with some kind of corrosive substance, while more of the insects intercepted anyone attempting to return to the main complex for help. As the bar is illegal and has no comms link with the colony, they are now effectively cut off. Incredulous, Frost opens the door to check the surroundings, only to see a huge number of insects waiting in the treeline. He learns they are averse to light, but with only one small flashlight to hand, the information is of little practical use.

The group elects to wait the bugs out, but when Park begins coughing violently, Frost and Dietrich instead prepare to take their chances and run back to the colony to get him a doctor. They are about to leave, when Park starts to scream, screams that soon turn to violent convulsions, after which he begins explosively vomiting blood. The torrent soon reveals itself to be full of smaller insects, which quickly move to attack the bar's occupants. The group is saved when Berto turns the lighting up to full, driving the insects into the shadows. The larger insect clamped to the now deceased Park has since fallen away, also dead, revealing that Park's lower abdomen has been almost completely eaten from within by the offspring the creature had laid within him.

Again, the group plans to leave, but lacks any means to make enough light to protect themselves from the insects, many more of which now wait outside. To make matters worse, the bugs suddenly cut the power to the building, extinguishing the lights. As the insects begin to pour inside, Frost spreads a circle of tequila around the survivors and ignites it, holding the creatures at bay. However, Berto is attacked before he can get inside the safety of the flaming ring and falls into the fire, setting the bar alight. Realizing the inferno will soon detonate the building's gas supply, the four remaining survivors have no option but to try and run back to the refueling station.

As they escape, Jesse punches Frost in the face, knocking him down and taking his flashlight, apologizing as he leaves him at the mercy of the insects. Dietrich stays by his side and they see that Tim and Jesse do not get far before they are overcome. With no alternative, Dietrich makes a makeshift Molotov cocktail out of the remaining tequila and hurls it at the bar's gas tank, causing a large explosion that knocks them both unconscious.

Dietrich and Frost wake up in hospital, where they are aggressively interrogated by both their Captain and representatives from Weyland-Yutani, who summarily dismiss their story as ridiculous. Once they are alone, Dietrich quips that next time she faces alien bugs, she'll make sure to remember to bring her flamethrower along. Aliens: Bug Hunt – Exterminators

After floating in space for 57 years, Lt. Ellen Ripley's shuttle is found by a deep space salvage team. Ripley is discharged from the Gateway hospital. After an inquiry with the ICC commission about the destruction of the Nostromo, she had her rank revoked. She works in the docks operating power loaders. Two weeks later, she accompanies a group of USCM aboard the USS Sulaco to investigate LV-426 after Weyland-Yutani loses contact with a Terraforming colony there. Upon arriving at LV-426, the Marines discover that Kiande Amedha have overrun the colony and find only one survivor, a nine year old girl named Newt. But even these battle-hardened Marines with all the latest weaponry are no match for the hundreds of kiande amedha that have invaded the colony. Refer to main article. Aliens 1986 movie

Lt. Ellen Ripley (in a "modified" version of her Alien³ appearance) and a team of Marines set down on LV-426 to investigate the colony located there. Soon after touching down, most of the team is killed — only Ripley and Bishop survive. Ripley is then forced to fight her way through swarms of Kiande Amedha and combat androids before confronting and killing the Queen.

After the colony is secured Ripley travels to a prison facility where she encounters Weyland-Yutani soldiers, who have been sent to eliminate her. After fighting through the soldiers, along with more androids and Runners, Ripley fights and kills another Queen. With the prison now cleansed, Ripley finally heads back to LV-426 and enters the derelict ship, killing a third and final Queen there. Ripley and Bishop escape from the planet in a dropship. However, as they leave, a shuttlecraft similar to the Narcissus is seen entering orbit. After Ripley enters hypersleep for the trip home, it is revealed that the crew of the shuttle (presumably likely another team sent by Weyland-Yutani) have been attacked by Facehuggers, and a Kiande Amedha emerges from the shadows of the craft.

While investigating reports of kiande amedha infestation in Sector 27 at 1400 hrs on the barren planet, Tanaka 5. Bishop found a Facehugger, and then is attacked by an adult kiande amedha. Sgt. Apone powers up the Stinger and successfully kills the drone, but Bishop detects motion in the sand beneath Apone. He is quickly attacked by numerous kiande amedha and taken to a nearby Hive. Bishop calls in Corp. Hicks to help him rescue Apone before he is implanted by a Facehugger and beyond their help. Once Hicks arrives, they confirm that Apone is alive via the personal data transmitter, and stationary. Hicks and Bishop load up to go into the Hive for a rescue mission.

Bishop and Hicks (armed with a mega-ton missile launcher) enter a kiande amedha Hive in search of Sgt. Apone, who has been captured and cocooned by the kiande amedha. A group of Scorpion Aliens try to sneak up on them, but Bishop's sensors detected them before the kiande amedha could attack, but quickly dispatch them and locate Apone, cocooned to the wall, just as an Ovomorph was opening. After freeing Apone, they attempt to escape the Hive. Bishop cannot scan movements in the area as the environment was interfere with his internal sensors. They unfortunately run straight into the Queen.

Sgt. Apone, Corp. Hicks and Bishop find themselves confronted by a Queen inside her Hive. Ripley arrives, armed with her flamethrower, to offer backup. She informs them that their SOS was coming through garbled. The four soldiers press their attack against the kiande amedha present, even though Apone has his doubts after what happened on Acheron. After a while, the kiande amedha retreat with the Queen. He then chases down the fleeing Queen, to prevent her from setting up another Hive. He kills her with a Mega Grenade. However, the explosion partially collapses the Hive and traps them inside. The survivors dig their way out, with Apone's bionic arm coming in handy. They head off the rendezvous with Sgt. Drake in Sector Alpha for the Zeevan mission, as the Queen's hand emerges from the rubble behind them.

While enjoying some down time at the Tuva Settlement (a Wild West-themed colony), the Space Marines are found by a local cattle rancher who tells them of a lucky escape from a kiande amedha born from his livestock. The Bull Alien, having followed the farmer, destroys the rancher's vehicle. It survives a direct attack from the missile launcher called the Bug Rocker, but dies when Hicks detonates the destroyed vehicle's fuel cell with his rocket launcher, incinerating the Bull Alien. Realizing the Bull Alien are susceptible to fire, the Space Marines load up on flamethrowers and head out to destroy the rest.

As the crew of the RB-232 (aka Cold Forge) battle to stop the computer virus named Silversmile, Sudler orders Marsalis to go outside in Marcus and manually lockdown the kiande amedha kennels heatshields in order to protect the specimens. Aliens: Cold Forge

The Space Marines sent out an alert to the ranchers on Earth Colony Terraform 3 about the Bull Aliens. They had received replies from all but one settlement, who have been out of contact for over a week. They head for that settlement, expecting trouble. They are quickly attacked by a 20 Bull Aliens. They cut through the creatures with flamethrowers, and set off in pursuit of those that flee. They track the Bull Aliens to a nearby ranch. Bishop's sensors detect more than 50 of the creatures within. With little alternative, Lt. Ripley leads the Space Marines inside.

The Space Marines tracked the remaining Bull Aliens in the Tuva Settlement to a ranch. Before entering, Ripley orders Bishop or notify Command that terminal action is required if they do not return in 40 minutes.

The Space Marines head inside and discover a Power Loader. Despite the environmental interference, Bishop's sensors indicate some internal activity. They are quickly confronted by the Bull Aliens and their Queen. The Space Marines open fire with their flamethrowers, but the automated sprinkler systems activates and puts out the flames. They are forced to retreat outside, Ripley is no longer with them. The remaining Space Marines are surrounded outside when Ripley reappears in the Power Loader and battle with the Queen. The Space Marines regroup and prepare to finish of the Bull Aliens once and for all.

The Space Marines face off against the Bull Aliens in the Tuva Settlement ranch. It looked as though they were compleyely outnumbered. Suddenly, a ship arrives, one that Bishop does not recognize. The pilot came in low and fast, out of nowhere, cutting down the Bull Aliens in a hail of pulse-fire. Ripley takes advantage of the distraction and finished off the Queen with her Power Loader and flamethrower. The attack ship lands and the pilot reveals himself as ATAX.

Meanwhile, Bishop is attacked by a Snake Alien while securing the perimeter. As the Space Marines prepare to do battle, ATAX dons his Bio-Boost Disguise Armor and quickly tears through the attacking Snake Aliens. However, he is captured by a Flying Queen, which carries him away without hurting him. The Space Marines think is possible the Flying Queen believes she is rescuing a fellow Queen.

When the Space Marines finally catch up to ATAX at the main colony on Earth Colony Terraform 3. However, he has already defeated the Flying Queen with the help of his Bio-Boost Armor. They then discover that the colonists are preparing to evacuate aboard a shuttle, as the colony is under attack by a swarm of leaping Mantis Aliens.

The Space Marines rush to the shuttle launch pad to ensure the colonists all get aboard safely. Drake is nearly killed by a Mantis Aliens, but ATAX saves him.

Lt. Ripley discovers the shuttle is infested with Queen Face Huggers that have captured all the colonists. As the only place within range of the shuttles is the moon base, the Space Marines set off in pursuit.

The Space Marines set down on the lunar base above Earth Colony Terraform 3. The entire installation has already been turned into a Hive by the Queen Face Huggers. The Space Marines are quickly ambushed by the creatures, and a fierce firefight ensues as ATAX takes point. The Queen Face Huggers inside the base's dome are wiped out. As the Space Marines prep to go to the second dome, Ripley finds a lone young girl, Kim. She tells them her parents have been captured by giant Rhino Aliens and taken to the agriculture dome.

Bishop returns from a recon mission to the kiande amedha-infested dome at Earth Colony Terraform 3 Lunar Base, his left arm severed. The Rhino Aliens have taken over the agriculture dome and set up a Hive there. Bishop suggest a course of action, and is soon hard-wired into a Power Loader retrofitted with weaponry, including a couple tanks of fast-freezing water. Bishop shatters the dome's roof, allowing the freezing exterior atmosphere inside, leaving only 5 minutes until oxygen depletion. As Bishop immobilizes the Rhino Aliens with his freeze guns, ATAX dons his Bio-Boost Disguise Armor and heads into the Hive to rescue the colonists. Once inside the nest, the Rhino Aliens race past him, ignoring him within the suit.

ATAX reaches the Queen in the egg chamber. He destroys the Ovomorphs, the Queen, and her royal guard, before rescuing the cocooned colonists. The survivors reunite with Kim, the infestation on Terraform 3 and its surrounding bases finally crushed.

In an alternative multiverse, Ripley's daughter was named Kathy. Kathy was nine when Ripley signed on to the Nostromo - her profit shares would have set them up good. Then Ripley lost sixty years floating around in a rescue pod. Ripley came home to face a bitter, 70 year old woman. That's why Ripley went back the second time to LV-426 - not so she could fight it -- so she could let it kill her.

July 27. 0820 approx.

Marcus is remotely taken over by someone off the station and opens the kiande amedha kennels. Sudler, Anne Wexler and a number of others are locked down in the SCIF as part of the quarantine procedure.

Blue reconnects to Marcus and joins Cordozo and the other crew, then reluctantly heads outside to manually arm the explosive bolts to detach the affected module from the station. Anne pleads with Blue to stop so they can escape, but both she and Cordozo are cut off and Blue heads back inside.

All security systems are soon offline and the station orders an evacuation. Blue is forgotten about by the other fleeing crew, so she crawls out of bed and into a wheelchair, making for the escape pods. She picks up Khambili along the way. Kiande Amedha board the Athenian however, killing the crew and causing the ship to rip a huge hole in the docking area. Several people are killed including Khambili and Cordozo. Blue is stuck at the crew end of the station and Sudler and group of others are stuck at the SCIF end.

Blue goes back to her room and recieves a message from a nearby ship that they can rescue her as long as she brings a specimen. She links to Marcus, who is in the Hive programming a Powerloader to also be piloted by Blue. They find a tech called Javier and he pleads for death. Blue obliges before managing to get a Facehugger to attach to ‘her' face and the seed is stored in Marcus' gut.

July 28.

Dorian plans to escape the station with Anne, but when she refuses to leave her colleagues behind, he kills her. Blue and Dorian play a game of cat and mouse, with Dorian using the central computer to direct Kiande Amedha towards Blue and the other crew. Blue connects to the Loader and tries to kill Dorian, but the machine is mobbed by Aliens. Dorian spares Lucy Biltmore long enough to gain access to an escape pod – finding Marcus already there – before removing the helmet of Lucy's pressure suit, killing her as well.

Blue directs the Loader to come and fetch her. Dorian learns that Blue is still alive, so leaves the escape pod and goes to finish her off. Someone from off the station takes over piloting the Powerloader and tries to kill Dorian. He evades the attack but is taken by the Aliens. Blue crawls into an empty egg crate that the Loader is carrying and is taken back to the pod and escapes with Marcus and the sample. Aliens: Cold Forge

Last known transmission from the USS Sulaco received. Aliens: Colonial Marines

Monks work in an antiquated glass works. One of the monks, Brother John, tends to the wounds of another, who has burned his arm in an accident. Bells signal that it is time for lunch, but while the other monks head to the mess hall, Brother John instead ascends through the wooden monastery to the library, where he reads with his dog, Mattias. The leader of the commune, known as the Abbot, permits Brother John to take one of the books from the library — an act that would normally be strictly forbidden — and read outside.

Brother John ascends further to the surface, and the monastery is revealed to be a man-made space station called Arceon, constructed mostly from wood around a metal frame. On the surface, Brother John sits beside a lake, and as he reads to Mattias, he notices a shooting star in the sky. Over the following days, more and more monks assemble to watch the comet as it approaches the space station.

Eventually, the star crashes down into the lake and is revealed to be an escape pod. Brother John rushes out to the pod - USS Sulaco escape vehicle #4 - in a small boat and climbs inside. It becomes clear all technology has been cast aside by the monks, and the monk has never seen anything like this before. Within, he finds the shredded, bloodstained clothing of a child and the head of a doll, before stumbling upon a distress message recorded by Ripley, in which she states the USS Sulaco has been infested by kiande amedha and Corporal Hicks and Bishop have been killed. She plans to escape with Newt in a lifeboat. After viewing the message, Brother John discovers Ripley still asleep inside a hypersleep capsule, and he rescues her from the craft, despite the protests of the other monks.

After having a nightmare about a kiande amedha, Ripley awakes inside the monastery. Outside her window, she sees fields of wheat, all housed beneath the surface of Arceon, with the ceiling high above painted to resemble sky and fitted with large windows to allow sunlight to filter down. As she watches, the USS Sulaco escape pod is lowered down, having been recovered from the lake. The Abbot enters and tells Ripley a little about their community, explaining that they have no radio for her to call for help and that she was found alone inside the pod. Ripley in turn attempts to warn the Abbot about the kiande amedha, which she suspects was responsible for Newt's death, but is rebuked; the Abbot suggests her recounting of the events on LV-426 are all lies, as he believes Earth was destroyed decades previously in an event that led to the monks rejecting all technology. The Abbot has Ripley locked in her room and forbids Brother John from making contact with her.

Later that night, Brother John and another monk, Brother Graham, witness a Chestburster emerge from one of Brother Graham's sheep. Before it can escape, they kill the infant creature by burning it alive. Following the incident, Ripley is subjected to a one-sided trial by the Abbot and the other senior monks at the commune, who charge her with bringing the "evil" to their commune. Her protestations regarding the kiande amedha are again ignored and she is declared responsible for the appearance of this "devil" that came from the sheep. She is imprisoned in the lowest levels of Arceon, and resigns herself to her fate.

However, Brother John does not share the Abbot's belief that Ripley is to blame for the events at the monastery, and eventually decides to head into the lower levels to seek her advice. After he leaves, several monks are killed by a kiande amedha in the communal lavatory.

In her cell, Ripley has discovered that another man, an android named Anthony, is imprisoned in the chamber adjacent to her own, having been banished when it was discovered he represented the technology the monks had vowed to cast out. Ripley passes the time recounting to Anthony her experiences with the kiande amedha and her knowledge of the creatures. When Brother John arrives he begs for Ripley's help, and while she initially refuses to go on fighting the kiande amedha, an act she considers futile, he ultimately convinces her to help him and frees both her and Anthony. They elect to head to the "technology room", the chamber where the station's air and gravity are produced, in the hopes of finding something that may be used as a weapon. As they move there, Brother John reveals that the order on Arceon started out as an anti-technology movement on Earth, which grew exponentially after a computer virus wiped out a huge proportion of all the data stored on the planet. People flocked to their cause, and their rejection of modern technology threatened Weyland-Yutani's profits. As a result, the movement's members were banished aboard Arceon for the crime of "political heresy".

Back on the upper levels, the kiande amedha runs amok through the helpless monks, who have only farm tools with which to defend themselves. It attacks several monks in a field of corn, and soon the crop is set ablaze. However, the Abbot escapes, and eventually reunites with Ripley, Anthony and Brother John in the lower levels. Upon reaching the door to the technology room, they are attacked by the kiande amedha. While Ripley struggles to open the door, Anthony and Brother John fight the creature off using the bear traps that have been set in the area to stop monks venturing into the technology room. They succeed, but Anthony is badly damaged in the process. The survivors make it into the technology room and seal the kiande amedha outside.

The survivors discover the "technology room" in fact contains nothing but wood and cloth windmills that circulate the station's air and water, and the truth becomes apparent — Arceon was never meant to be sustainable, and was always intended as a death sentence for the heretics as its air would eventually run out. To make matters worse, the fires started by the kiande amedha's rampage have now used up a large amount of the remaining oxygen and also destroyed the crops that helped to refresh the atmosphere.

As the survivors argue about escaping, a new type of Chestburster erupts from the Abbot's head, killing him. Ripley and Brother John elect to make for the USS Sulaco escape pod and use it to flee the station; however, Anthony is forced to stay behind due to the damage he received during the earlier fight with the kiande amedha. After the others leave, Anthony is killed by the kiande amedha.

Eventually, Ripley and Brother John reach the library, just below the escape pod, but are again confronted by the kiande amedha. As the two survivors fight the creature, its acid blood starts a fire that destroys the library's floor, and all three fall through into the glass works below. The kiande amedha falls into a vat of molten glass, apparently killing it, but it emerges again and prepares to attack. Ripley opens a large dump tank and douses the creature in a torrent water, causing its glass-coated exoskeleton to explode through thermal shock.

Ripley and Brother John make it to the escape pod, but as they prepare to leave Ripley realizes she has a Chestburster inside her. She prepares to send Brother John away on the escape vehicle while she stays behind to die. However, Brother John refuses, and by beating Ripley's chest, he manages to make the Chestburster crawl out of her through her gullet and into his own throat, saving her and infecting himself. Condemned to death, Brother John leaves the escape pod and walks into the fires raging across the surface of Arceon, killing himself and the infant kiande amedha inside him. After watching his sacrifice, Ripley flees the dying space station in the escape pod, Brother John's dog Mattias by her side. This event takes part in an alternate multiverse from the events of Alien³. Alien³ (Vincent Ward unproduced script)

Having been rescued, Blue meets with Seegson reps – who orchestrated the sabotage. They say they can help her with whatever research she wishes regarding the kiande amedha. The destruction of RB-232 (aka Cold Forge) will cost the Company millions, if not billions, and by the end of the financial year, Seegson will own 5% of Weyland-Yutani and seat on the board.

Derrick Russell succeeds in capturing the PUP. He manages to activate its playback and discovers it is from a previous mission to LV-223. Meanwhile the Onager survivors – now down to about twenty five in number – continue to debate their ongoing survival. Cale favours an attack on the Onager where the kiande amedha have set up their Hive, while Dione prefers constructing stronger defences. AvP/Prometheus: Fire and Stone

The science vessel Legato, sent to LV-426 arrives after the Atmosphere Processor had already gone critical, effectively eradicating the Hive at Sub-Level 3 of the Processor.

However, the scientists discovered that the Derelict had escaped destruction. They successfully extracted a number of Ovomorphs from the wreckage and brought them to the Legato.

At an unknown point of time, the ship had received a cargo of abducted cryotubes containing colonists, and the team of scientists commenced breeding experiments using the colonists as hosts for the kiande amedha. Eventually, the Legato received a second mission: to intercept the Sulaco and eliminate any evidence of Weyland-Yutani involvement in the Hadley's Hope incident, including possible survivors. After arriving at the scene, the Legato established an Umbilical connection to the military vessel and began its investigation.

While the Legato was tethered to the Sulaco, a kiande amedha outbreak occurred aboard the Legato under unknown circumstances. Weyland-Yutani PMCs desperately tried to put a stop to the mayhem by mercilessly eradicating both the creatures and the human colonists, but to no avail: Not only were the kiande amedha slowly taking over the Legato, but a number of them also entered the Sulaco and began a second infestation.

Amidst the chaos, Lisbeth Hutchins, already pregnant with a kiande amedha embryo, awoke in a storage hold and began roaming the ship in search of her parents, who were also among the original settlers. Another colonist named Andrews helped her locate them, but was killed by a kiande amedha shortly after. Hutchins was then rescued by another pair of settlers, Samwell Stone and Turk. Stone, an ex-military, had heard about the Sulaco's presence and intended to enter the vessel in order to call for help and escape the kiande amedha, but Hutchins was adamant about finding her parents. The three stuck together for a while, but Hutchins left the group at the Umbilical to continue her search while Stone and Turk switched ships.

Hutchins eventually found her parents inside one of the cargo bays, both of them killed by Weyland-Yutani PMCs as part of their containment mission. Grieving and furious, Hutchins decided to rig the Legato to self-destruct, intending to exact revenge against Weyland-Yutani and put an end to the outbreak. She informed Stone of her plan, who managed to sever the Umbilical connection using the Sulaco's weapons seconds before the Legato exploded. Aliens: Colonial Marines

More survivors from the Onager crew are taken during a kiande amedha attack. AvP/Prometheus: Fire and Stone

The Sulaco was temporarily declared lost by the USCM corps, who contacted Weyland-Yutani to ask for possible information concerning the fate of the ship. Soon after, however, O'Neill Station located the vessel drifting near Gamma Leporis in the Outer Rim. An advance team was sent to assess the condition of the ship and performed bio-scans which discovered the life signal of a single individual. The USCM decided to perform a full-scale investigation and assigned the Sephora under the command of Lieutenant-Colonel Patrick Steele to this task.

After arriving at the location of the Sulaco, Steele deployed Charlie Squad, with Fire Team Delta ordered to secure the command center, Fire Team Echo's mission being the retrieval of the flight recorder and Fire Team Fox receiving the task to locate the single human lifeform reported by the advance team. Another objective was to sync the Sulaco with the Sephora via a data terminal in order to facilitate operations aboard the ship. Steele ordered his teams to be cautious as the Sephora's sensors had received strange readings from inside the Sulaco. Additionally, the ship was under lockdown, so the Marines initially had very limited access to the ship's sections.

It was not long until Fire Team discovered traces of the Union of Progressive Peoples (U.P.P.) presence in the form of a dead UPP soldier and Combat Androids left behind in the corridors. Eventually, Fire Team Fox reached a data terminal and made the Sulaco's schematics available to Steele and their fellow Marines. The terminal also enabled Steele to remotely deactivate the lockdown, which opened up every door and elevator that was not restricted by key card access. While continuing the search, the soldiers found traces of a kiande amedha infestation inside the vent shafts. Fire Team Fox eventually caught up with the life form signal, who turned out to be Eva, the last survivor of the UPP task force. The Marines arrived at the scene just as a kiande amedha was attacking the UPP woman. The soldiers dispatched the creature, but Eva managed to flee deeper into the bowels of the ship. At the same time, the kiande amedha revealed themselves to the other fire teams and attacked them.

Fire Team Fox chased Eva throughout the Sulaco and suddenly found themselves in the middle of the kiande amedha Hive. After the Marines defeated the resident Queen, they finally managed to capture Eva. With fights erupting on the entire vessel and casualties mounting, Steele ordered a complete retreat to the Sephora. Fire Team Fox extracted safely together with the other surviving Marines and handed their prisoner over for interrogation. Soon, Eva revealed that they had extracted the mission data from the Bishop android and followed it to LV-426 where the UPP had already proceeded to construct an outpost near the Derelict to harvest the kiande amedha. While the Sephora departed for LV-426 in order to thwart the UPP's plans, Weyland-Yutani, a contract partner of the USCM corps, secured the Sulaco under the pretense of repair work and analyzing.

After arriving at LV-426, Steele ordered a large-scale attack against the UPP installation. While multiple fire teams engaged UPP forces at the outpost, Fire Team Fox was assigned the mission to infiltrate the installation and destroy the two Celestial Defense Guns and the radar dish, all the while proceeding with caution and remaining undetected as long as possible. After performing a covert landing near the outpost, Fire Team Fox successfully entered the compound. While traversing the base, the soldiers detected the beginnings of a kiande amedha infestation in the air ducts. Although Echo had to procure explosive devices on-site due to damage to the original charges, the Marines succeeded in their mission, destroying the gun towers and the radar dish.

Meanwhile, chaos erupted among the UPP forces as the kiande amedha came out of hiding and began to slaughter the soldiers. Soon, air space over the installation became too crowded for a dropship extraction at the outpost, and Echo was ordered to retreat to a secondary landing zone at the Derelict. The Marines used the mayhem at the base to their advantage and escaped the outpost aboard a hijacked APC, with the kiande amedha hot on their heels. By the time the APC had reached the Derelict, the kiande amedha had done considerable damage to the vehicle, causing it to crash into the pilot chamber of the wreckage. A sudden communications breakdown turned out to be the least of the soldiers' problems as the monstrous Space Jockey Alien, a kiande amedha which had originated from the Derelict's pilot, attacked the intruders. In a dramatic confrontation, the Marines eventually killed the creature and were extracted to the Sephora in orbit soon after.

During the engagement, Steele had discovered through a contact at the MCIA that Weyland-Yutani, supported by powerful allies in the military, planned to claim the kiande amedha for use as a bio-weapon. Knowing that the creatures could not be controlled, Steele and Fire Team Fox decided to go rogue and prevent Weyland-Yutani from getting their hands on the kiande amedha. After learning that Weyland-Yutani was about to transport kiande amedha specimens from LV-426 to the Sulaco, the Sephora returned to the site.

After Fire Team Fox had landed on the Sulaco, Steele informed the soldiers that Weyland-Yutani planned to bring the specimens to a research station on the Mars moon of Phobos and ordered the Marines to destroy the freighter with the Sulaco's weapons before it would reach the ship. However, Fire Team Fox was intercepted by a Weyland-Yutani representative named Sean Davis, who was accompanied by a USCM marine named Jimmy Kim. Kim, oblivious to the machinations of Weyland-Yutani, informed the new arrivals that the Sulaco had already rendezvoused with the freighter and received the cargo. The Echo Marines warned Kim to order his men to stay clear of the cargo, but it was already too late: Contact to the Marines in the main cargo bay had broken off. As Fire Team Fox wanted to depart to eradicate the kiande amedha, Davis intervened and tried to talk the Marines out of their plans. He attempted use the connection between Weyland-Yutani and the USCM as leverage and threatened to ruin the careers of the soldiers, but to no avail. Unimpressed by Davis' arguments, the Marines proceeded to investigate the ship while Kim went to the cargo bay to check up on his comrades. Early on, Fire Team Echo encountered numerous Weyland-Yutani synthetics who were now roaming extensive sections of the Sulaco.

A transmission by Kim eventually confirmed the worst: The deadly cargo had escaped. After exploring the main cargo hold, Fire Team Fox was ordered to head to the lower hangar, from which Steele received inconclusive sensor readings. Upon arrival, the soldiers found themselves confronted by a Queen once again. It is unknown whether the original Queen had survived the previous encounter or if the Hive had bred a new matriarch. When conventional weapons and a Powerloader proved ineffective against the creature, the Marines devised a new plan: lure the Queen to the airlock and blow it out into space. Despite Davis' sabotage of the airlock controls, Fire Team Fox eventually succeeded in getting rid of the Queen. But there was no time to rest as the Sulaco had already arrived at Phobos. Steele tried to hail the research base, but got no response. Therefore, Fire Team Fox was assigned the task to enter the research facility and investigate.

Upon arriving at the base, Fire Team Fox found the facility deserted. A short time later, the Marines discovered that access to the communication tower was blocked by sentry guns. The soldiers concluded that the staff had fortified themselves inside the tower for unknown reasons. Unable to overcome the barrier with the available ordnance, the Marines ventured into the subterranean parts of the installation in order to find an override device that would gain them access to the tower.

After entering the research station proper, Fire Team Fox found out that the scientists had fallen victim to another kiande amedha infestation. The purpose of the facility became clear shortly after: The researchers had run extensive breeding experiments with Ovomorphs procured from an unknown source. Under unspecified circumstances, the scientists had lost control over the kiande amedha and fallen victim to the escaped creatures shortly before the arrival of the Sulaco. During the exploration of the facility, Fire Team Fox also encountered a unique kiande amedha subspecies resulting from experiments with Simians in addition to the human-bred Aliens.

Deep down in the bowels of the research station, the Marines eventually managed to locate the override device and returned to the surface. The comm tower was now open for investigation, but hopes of finding survivors dwindled to nothing during the exploration of the tower. On the uppermost floor, Fire Team Fox discovered not only the corpses of those who had holed up in the tower, but also the creature that had presumably killed them: A gigantic variety of the Simian Aliens that had roamed the lower floors of the facility. The monster proved to be a formidable foe, but was finally defeated by the Marines. With the investigation concluded, the soldiers were ordered to return to the Sulaco to hold Davis responsible for the existence of the creatures on Phobos and end the kiande amedha infestation aboard the vessel for good.

Upon arrival on the Sulaco, Fire Team Fox were met by Davis. During the conversation, the Company man revealed himself to be a cold and reckless individual who was worried only about the survival of kiande amedha specimens on Phobos and considered the research staff to be expendable. When the Marines voiced their determination to exterminate the kiande amedha aboard the vessel, open hostilities emerged. Davis left the scene, ordering accompanying PMC forces to kill the USCM soldiers. After dispatching the mercenaries, Fire Team Fox pursued Davis throughout the ship. During his escape, Davis had initiated Operation Almond, which turned all Company synthetics hostile to the USCM. The chase was cut short when Davis managed to jam the Sephora's sensors and disappear from Steele's tracker, leaving the Marines no other option but to commence a general sweep of unexplored parts of the Sulaco.

Meanwhile, Steele analyzed the mission data and came to the disheartening conclusion that the kiande amedha infestation was too much to handle for the forces present. Worse, the Sulaco had been directed to fly to Mars, where the kiande amedha would not only fall into Weyland-Yutani's hands, but could also reach the colonies, risking an infestation of unprecedented proportions. Steele saw only one possible solution: the destruction of the Sulaco. Therefore, he ordered Fire Team Fox, who were exploring the reactor section at that point in time, to disable the cooling regulators. The Marines managed to disable the regulators, only to find out that the vessel had a fail-safe against overheating. Now, Steele devised a bold new plan: Fire Team Fox was ordered to alter the course of the ship to crash it right into Mars. Using zero-g suits to circumvent inaccessible areas, the Marines finally gained clearance to the command center.

Unfortunately, Davis had already enacted an emergency override, making all attempts of Fire Team Fox to alter the course impossible. Davis contacted the soldiers over the intercom system, gloating about his triumph and informing them that forces were underway to retake control over the Sulaco and secure the kiande amedha specimens. However, his arrogance gave Steele enough time to pinpoint Davis' location. Soon after, Fire Team Fox confronted the Company man inside a large cargo bay in the belly portion of the Sulaco. Davis remained defiant until a new threat made her appearance: The Empress that had taken control of the Aliens on board. After killing Davis, the Empress attacked the Marines, and a final confrontation ensued. Eventually, the Empress collapsed under the firepower of the soldiers, but the fight had caused explosions that had ruptured the outer hull. Fire Team Fox quickly evacuated and Steele ordered a retreat, believing that the explosion had altered the course of the ship enough to hide it from Davis' associates. Leaving the Sulaco drifting in space near Mars, the Sephora withdrew.

Unfortunately, while the kiande amedha infestation on the Sulaco had suffered a severe throwback due to the death of the Empress and Davis was dead, the Sulaco was soon found by Weyland-Yutani forces. Due to pressure from Weyland-Yutani's powerful allies inside USCM, the original crew of the Sephora was disbanded. However, USCM command continued to track the Sulaco, and when command received part of Hicks' distress call and the ship was reported orbiting LV-426, a second recon mission was launched. Again, the Sephora was assigned to the task, now under the command of Lieutenant Jeremy Cruz and outfitted with a new contingent of USCM soldiers. This would culminate at the building of the Origin facility. Aliens: Infestation

The Conestoga-class space transport USS Sulaco is on its return journey from LV-426. Due to a navigational error, the ship drifts into an area of space controlled by the Union of Progressive Peoples that is engaged in an ongoing cold war and arms race with the United Americas.

A UPP interceptor lands on the USS Sulaco. Three commandos board the USS Sulaco and are attacked by a Facehugger that has apparently grown from Kiande Amedha genetic material deposited inside Bishop's severed torso. The victim and the Facehugger are killed and flushed into space. Before leaving, the UPP personnel recover Bishop's remains.

Some time later, the USS Sulaco docks at the space station Anchorpoint, where it is met by a team of Colonial Marines and scientists, including technician Charles Tully. They board the ship and are attacked by two kiande amedha in the hypersleep bay. The creatures kill two of the Marines before they are incinerated with a flamethrower, and in the process Ripley's cryotube is badly damaged by flame. She survives, but is plunged into a coma. Newt and Corporal Hicks both survive unharmed.

Onboard the Rodina, the UPP continue to experiment on Bishop. Additional Kiande Amedha genetic material is recovered from Bishop's severed legs in the USS Sulaco's hangar bay, and Tully and his team secretly begin experimenting on it, under orders from Weyland-Yutani representatives Kevin Fox and Susan Welles.

Meanwhile, Hicks is debriefed by the senior personnel at Anchorpoint (Colonel Rosetti, Trent, Shuman), and two Weyland-Yutani representatives (Fox and Welles). Despite Rosetti's persistence regarding security clearing, he is railroaded by Fox, Welles, and Trent as they press Hicks for more information about the Kiande Amedha - especially since they are waiting to hear if the UPP will declare the USS Sulaco in their space as a violation of their treaty.

Spence asks Tully about the sudden triple-classified nature of the work they are conducting, but Tully is forbidden from telling her. She provides him with Miller's "Sample #17" retrieved from Bishop's remains.

Soon after, Newt leaves Anchorpoint aboard a decontaminated USS Sulaco, returning to Earth to live with her grandparents. Hicks is given a job in a machine shop under a man named Walker.

After a Rodina staff meeting that included Suslov and Braun, the UPP meet with Shuman on the Anchorpoint. Shuman demands the return of Bishop - citing that (as per this multiverse) androids, by law, are afforded the status of persons. The UPP prefer to afford them the status of machines. Nonetheless, Bishop - and by extension the USS Sulaco - has been held in regard to a treaty violation of the Strategic Arms Reductions treaty concerned with biological warfare. However, Bishop is of no further use in the inquiry and so they are returning him to Anchorpoint, as a gesture of good faith. In reality, they too are experimenting on the material recovered from his remains, and have begun cloning and genetically modifying Kiande Amedha.

As Tully, Rosetti, Trent and Fox discover, the Kiande Amedha material aboard Anchorpoint exhibits an ability to alter other genetic material on contact.

Hicks encounters Tully at the bar and learns about the kiande amedha onboard the USS Sulaco.

Rosetti, Trent Fox, and Welles meet to discuss Bishop's physical and chemical analysis. They found no irregularities or trace of the Kiande Amedha's cellular material but his data on the Kiande Amedha was still intact - but they can't rule out any tampering or reprogramming. Thus, they plan to press on with cloning Kiande Amedha DNA by officially citing it is only for applied exobiology purposes - despite Rosetti's hesitations.

As Bishop completes his physical on Anchorpoint, the Rodina lab have successfully cloned a thumb-sized, grayish-pink embryo.

Hicks goes to have a secret meeting with Tully - but meets Spence instead - Tully was too scared to meet. She tells him about the experiments her lab have been conducting - and she believes the Rodina are as well.

Hicks finally meets up with Bishop - who also informs Hicks about the Kiande Amedha but warns him that he may now be a sleeper agent for UPP. Together, they plan to destroy any trace of the Kiande Amedha.

After two stasis tubes explodes in the tissue lab, Tully and Welles are rushed into De-con. Hicks and Bishop, taking advantage of the distraction, break into the labs. When Bishop suddenly freeses up trying to activate the lab's statis sytem microwave sterilization, Hicks does it for him. The samples are destroyed and they are immediately detained, but unbeknownst to them they are already too late — Tully and Welles have been "infected" by the airborne Kiande Amedha contagion in an earlier accident.

During a briefing between the senior staff - Rosetti, Trent, and Shuman, Jackson, Trent, Fox, and Welles - into the incident, it is revealed that some of the material recovered from Bishop's legs has been sent on to Earth aboard the USS Sulaco. The infection within Welles then manifests itself as she undergoes "the change", tearing off her skin and revealing a form of Kiande Amedha beneath. The creature attacks the staff at the meeting, killing Fox before itself being destroyed.

Hicks is released from detention by Rosetti when it is also discovered Tully has disappeared. Spence, Rosetti, Jackson, and Bishop watch from the Ops room as Hicks and Walker track Tully in the bowels of the station using his surgically implanted locator frequency, Hicks and Walker are attacked by the transformed Tully and forced to flee.

On the Rodina, the Kiande Amedha escaped. Suslov and Braun were cocooned in the Bio-Lab and Braun dies from a Chestburster.

Hicks, Rosetti, Jackson, Shuman and Bishop are unable to reach the Rodina, and discuss evacuation plans and destroying Anchorpoint to contain the outbreak.

As the Kiande Amedha begin to spread on Anchorpoint, the station receives a transmission from the UPP, revealing that their own experiments with the creatures have led to a catastrophic containment failure. Realising Anchorpoint is likely doomed, Hicks ejects a still comatose Ripley from the station in an EEV, sending her back to Earth. He then leads a team of Colonial Marines - Alsop, Greenfield, Brice, Costello, Wallace, - back to the lower levels of the station to fight the Kiande Amedha.

They discover a Hive and a mutated Queen. The Marines are attacked, and Wallace and Costello go down immediately; the Kiande Amedha begin to drag them away. Greenfield uses his flamethrower, but a Kiande Amedha jumps him.

When the Marines attack the Queen's abdomen ruptures, releasing a cloud of airborne contagion directly into the station's main ventilation fans. Hicks blows the Queen apart with a mortar and escapes alone. Bishop manages to shut down the ventilation system, but many people have already been infected and begin to transform.

Rodina is destroyed by the UPP cruiser Nikolai Stoiko with a 20 megs nuclear strike.

Walker walks around the Mall, looking for Kiande Amedha to kill, using a remote-controlled Powerloader as backup as Spence evades Lemur-born kiande amedha in the Eco-Module. She runs into Hicks in the Mall. He brings her to Ops.

Hicks stresses to Rosetti to overload the station's rector and likewise destroy it, reasoning that they might all be killed before rescue can arrive (ETA 13 hours away) and if they are, the recovery team will dock with the station and thereby allow the infestation to spread. Unfortunately, it has to be done manually as Hicks' battle with the queen damaged the wiring.

Bishop goes to detonate the core, but en route he finds Shuman cocooned in the Mall bar and narrowly escaping a Queen.

Hicks and the other survivors (Rosetti, Jackson, Spence, Halliday. Tatsumi, and a lab tech) head for the escape pods, being attacked by Kiande Amedha along the way. When they get to the lifeboats, they discover it blocked off by Kiande Amedha resin and are forced to find an alternate route - coming across the body of Trent along the way (he shot himself in the head).

They discover an airlock in Trent's office, but it only had 5 EVA suits. While debating who remains behind - Jackson nominates Rosetti as he wants to die anyway), Tatsumi dies giving birth to multiple Chestbursters.

The remaining survivors end up donning space suits and walking across the exterior hull of the station, hoping to reach the EEVs. However, they are again attacked by a Kiande Amedha born from Rosetti. The Lab Tech attempts to stop the beast, but they are both sucked out into space. The Lab Tech dies as Hicks kills the beast. Bishop ariives just as Hicks starts running out of ammo.

The remaining survivors encounter a second Queen - but not before the queen kills Jackson. Bishop kills the Queen with his Pulse Rifle's grenade launcher.

The survivors — Hicks, Bishop and Spence — end up stranded at the tip of a radio antenna, out of ammunition, the Kiande Amedha swarming towards them and the station minutes away from self-destruct. At that moment, a surviving commando from the UPP station arrives in a small interceptor. She rescues Hicks and the others and flees, moments before Anchorpoint detonates. Bishop then confirms Hicks and Spence are not infected.

The survivors are later picked up by the USS Kansas City, although it is revealed that the UPP commando has fatal radiation poisoning and will not survive.

Bishop theorizes that humanity is now united against a common enemy, the Kiande Amedha, and must find their homeworld so that they can be eradicated once and for all. This event takes part in an alternate multiverse from the events of Alien³. Alien³ William Gibson Unproduced Script

At an unknown point in time, a Space Jockey vessel carrying Ovomorphs crash-landed on Rim, plumetting into a geological information called the Valley of the Iron Fingers. In the late 2170s, a civilian party of explorers, led a man named Russ and his family – including a young daughter named Billie – undertook an expedition into the region of the Valley. Soon, they found the wreckage of the Space Jockey vessel there. The adult members proceeded to investigate the interior of the vessel, while Billie and her brother stayed behind inside the scout hopper. Inside the wreckage, the civilians discovered the Ovomorphs and became impregnated. The infestation quickly spread over to the colony and consumed the entire population save for Billie.

Eventually, the communication breakdown with Rim caused the authorities to dispatch a USCM squadron to investigate the Rim colony. Upon arrival, the soldiers discovered Billie, who had managed to survive the Alien onslaught. Soon, the Marines learned of the kiande amedha presence and that the massacre of the colony at the hands of these creatures was the cause for the communications breakdown. One creature snuck into the USCM dropship as it was about to take off and killed the pilot. The dropship crashed onto the surface, leaving the remaining squad members stranded on Rim. Eventually, a single marine called Wilks managed to escape from Rim together with Billie shortly before the colony was destroyed, an event which eradicated the kiande amedha presence on the planet. The cause for the destruction is unknown. Some sources claim it was a nuclear accident while other accounts state that it was the deployment of a high-ordinance bomb.

The delicate nature of the alleged existence of a kiande amedha and the fact that a very similar incident had happened on LV-426 prompted the military to classify the whole affair as top secret. While having escaped the kiande amedha horror, both Wilks and Billie were left scarred by the events. Billie was mind-wiped and transferred to the planet Ferro, were she lived with relatives for several years. Unfortunately, the mind wipe was not entirely successful, as Billie began to experience nightmares of the Rim incident. Aliens: Outbreak

Journalist Nickole Kejela is called to the office of her boss, the intimidating Hiromi Hasegawa, fearing her career may be about to come to a premature end. However, far from firing her, Hasegawa praises her work, before telling her she has a new assignment — she is to accompany a unit of Colonial Marines for a whole year, writing a flattering profile piece on them. The operation is ostensibly a favor for her friend and the USCM Chief of Staff Emilio Cruz, but Hasegawa also points out that the assignment may provide Kejela with the means to resurrect a piece she previously abandoned due to lack of credible sources — a critical exposé on the Weyland-Yutani Corporation, revealing the illegal and immoral practices they routinely employ. Kejela agrees.

Kejela integrates herself with the unit to which she is seconded, J Company, currently based out of Camp Obama and under the command of Lieutenant Emily Berenato. She follows the J Company Marines through their daily training and exercises, and ingratiates herself to them when she joins in with some gambling over an informal sharpshooting contest they hold amongst themselves. Steered by her background checks, Kejela places her money on the unit's new rookie, betting against the established best shot, and ends up winning big. Kejela then discovers J Company are being deployed to LV-418 on an operation, and she is to go with them.

Arriving at LV-418, the Marines learn that their mission is to evacuate a group of Weyland-Yutani scientists as their science station is at risk of being destroyed by sink holes. Soon after arriving, several Marines have to rescue a group of scientists who have fallen into one such sinkhole. As they pull the trapped men out, they notice a cavern has opened beneath the hole, revealing several Ovomorphs in the space below.

Later that night, Kejela is approached by the head researcher, obviously drunk and anxious, who provides her with a copy of the survey report the science team was given, originally documented by Weyland Corp around a hundred years ago. Finding nothing amiss, Kejela compares it to the survey report she drew from her own news agencies' archives, and discovers to her shock that it is totally different; whereas the original Weyland Corp report mentions geological instability and possible biological readings beneath the surface, the copy issued to the science team is completely missing these points. Weyland-Yutani covered up these facts and withheld them from the team on the ground.

At that moment a biological contaminant alarm sounds, and Kejela rushes to the med bay to check it out, discovering Lieutenant Berenato lying on the operating table with a Facehugger attached to her. The doctor quickly establishes that he cannot remove the parasite without killing Berenato. Some twelve hours later, the group discover the Facehugger has died, and almost immediately a Chestburster erupts from the Lieutenant's body.

Less than a day later, Kejela and three surviving Marines have barricaded themselves in a room, the complex having now been almost totally overrun by the kiande amedha. As they detect the creatures advancing once again with their remaining motion tracker, Kejela takes a pistol from one of the Marines and the group prepares to make their final stand.

Back in her office, Hasegawa receives Kejela's final report from LV-418, which reveals Weyland-Yutani lied to its staff and knew about the kiande amedha presence all along. After reading it, she deletes the file. She contacts Cruz, the USCM Chief of Staff, and informs him that her reporter has confirmed the presence of kiande amedha on LV-418. Cruz in turn informs her he will pass the information on to Weyland-Yutani, promising that they will once again pay her well for this information. Aliens: Bug Hunt – Deep Background

Fearing a mental breakdown, Billie underwent stationary psychiatric treatment and was eventually transferred to Earth, where she was admitted to the Feildcrest Home mental ward. Wilks fared not much better: Isolated from his comrades due to fear of infection from his contact with the kiande amedha, he went on a downward spiral into alcoholism, violence and drug addiction. Aliens: Outbreak

Having once caught a high-ranking Weyland-Yutani employee in a compromising situation with an underage girl, Colonial Marine Corporal Franklin Sykes utilized this knowledge as a bargaining chip to ensure he was redeployed to the most remote, quietest posting imaginable, thereby satisfying his inherent aversion to danger and, in particular, rumors of voracious, silver-fanged alien creatures that have begun appearing across the galaxy. Now stationed at the largely depleted mining outpost on the moon LV-666, he spends his time playing the MMORPG videogame Charity Rock and generally avoiding anything that looks like hard work.

Sykes' calm is shattered when one day he receives a distress signal from the mine on the moon's emergency channel, requesting immediate assistance and reporting three miners dead and another seven wounded. Fearing that, against all odds, the creatures he so fears have now appeared at the very outpost where he is stationed, and also concerned that any action will interrupt his ability to launch the elaborate trap he has set up for several competitors in Charity Rock, Sykes suffers a panic attack. However, despite his aversion, he conforms to duty and orders his men ready.

Relief comes when Sykes receives a message from the Weyland-Yutani site manager declining assistance, and the Corporal jumps at the opportunity to ignore the issue. Satisfied, Sykes heads to breakfast, but is devastated once again when Lance Corporal Haywald arrives in full battle dress, informing him that the site manager has now requested urgent assistance. Seeing his superior's distress, Haywald offers to lead the response, but Sykes rallies himself and orders first squad to prepare. After Haywald leaves, Sykes is sick.

Upon arriving in the mine, the Marines find the tunnels deserted. Sykes frets about his Charity Rock situation, realizing that if he is not present to spring his trap, his opponents will be able to access his entire reserves of wealth within the game. He dispatches two advance sentries as he attempts to ascertain the situation in the mine, but they are apparently attacked and go silent. When one of the missing Marines runs back to the group, she talks cryptically about people "spitting" before suffering some kind of fit and falling unconscious.

Seeing the fear on the faces of the Marines around him, Sykes suddenly sheds his own anxiety and finds himself level-headed and overcome with a sense of duty. His concerns about Charity Rock are forgotten. He immediately takes control of the situation, taking point and leading the remaining Marines into the mine. They soon find a miner shot by the sentries, noting that the man shows no sign of anything being wrong other than his gunshot wounds. In a side room they discover six miners attacking a seventh, but instead of kicking of beating him, they are spitting on him. Sykes calls to them and, their faces completely devoid of emotion, they turn to attack; the Marines seal them inside and press on.

One of the Marines proposes an explanation for the bizarre happenings, using a similar incident on a prison barge for reference — with the mine now largely exhausted of natural resources, Weyland-Yutani have instead used the miners as unknowing test subjects for some form of biological or chemical weapon. She cites a recent mass-inoculation by Weyland-Yutani scientists as the likely source. The spitting they have observed is the likely means of transmitting the infection. Before the Marines can evacuate back to the surface, they are confronted by an enormous group of emotionless miners shuffling through the tunnel. When the crowd spots them it swarms forward, and the Marines fall back into the side room they checked earlier, shooting the seven miners inside before they can attack and sealing the door. Two more Marines are lost in the tunnel.

Their numbers dwindling, Sykes opens a back door to the room, hoping to find an escape route. Instead he finds the second missing sentry, a sight that distracts him just long enough for the man to spit in his face. He shoots the Marine dead before witnessing the man's spittle begin to crawl across his visor. He tears his helmet off, wondering if any of the spit got on him, before blacking out.

Sykes wakes standing, conscious but totally incapable of moving or talking. He notices two of his Marines standing either side of him, likewise motionless. As time passes, Sykes begins to lose his mind, trapped inside his own paralyzed body, standing and staring at the door through which he had tried to escape. After time, the Marines flanking him die, having either starved or died of thirst. Sykes welcomes his own death, relishing an end to his solitary paralysis. His only compulsion is to spit.

The USS Typhoon is forced to set down on an uncharted planet in the Zeta 2 Reticuli system for urgent repairs, discovering a world ripe with previously undocumented flora and fauna. The crew are ordered by Weyland-Yutani to survey the area and gather any useful data they can. The crewmembers who venture out, gambling-obsessed London and Warrant Officer Gilmore, discover huge, towering tree-like plants and giant, jellyfish-like creatures they dub "Floaters". While exploring, they also witness a voracious, black-shelled creature attack and slaughter one of the Floaters. The pair hurry back to the ship and tell the other crew about the life they have discovered, including the hostile "Leaper".

When the data is sent to Weyland-Yutani, the company orders the crew to obtain a biological Leaper sample "at any cost", additionally stressing that the lifeforms should be approached with caution. Despite their anxiety, the crew arm themselves and head back out to where the Floater was killed. London moves ahead to collect samples, and several adult Leapers, hiding within the Floater's corpse, emerge from the decaying creature's grievous wounds and attack. London is dragged away through the forest to another dead Floater, inside which the Leapers have constructed a Hive, while the rest of the creatures surround the other members of his crew.

When the USS Typhoon's crew open fire on the Leapers, killing several with their advanced weapons, London is abandoned while more of the creatures emerge from the Hive and run to join in the battle. Now alone, London detonates a spare oxygen tank inside the Hive, setting it ablaze in a roaring inferno. The remaining Leapers abandon their assault on the humans and rush into the conflagration, apparently attempting to save their young, giving the crew the chance to escape back to their ship and off the planet.

Unknown to the rest of the crew, London recovered an immature Ovomorph from the Hive before destroying it, and as he dreams of Leapers in his cabin that night it hatches, releasing a Facehugger that attacks him as he wakes. Aliens: Bug Hunt – Chance Encounter

A Colonial Marine called Hyer has just returned back to his ship, the New Jersey having narrowly escaped a Kiande Amedha encounter on the mining colony Takaia 3. Hyer recounts the experience to a Marine Captain and B Squad. The mission was supposed to be a routine reconnaissance for A Squad but they encountered the Kiande Amedha – hundreds of them. The marines activated a bomb and tried to escape. During their retreat, the APC crashed and was badly damaged. Many of the marines were injured, Hyer included but he escaped to find their dropship destroyed. He found a shuttle on the colony and left the planet.

The Captain is determined not to leave the other injured marines behind and others the B squad and Hyer back to the colony. Their orders are to rescue A Squad before the bomb goes off. The Sergeant tells his marines to buckle in and the dropship plummeting towards the colony until they land and the APC drives out. They drive through the interior of the colony complex, avoiding various obstacles and mounting debris until the APC arrives at the wreckage of A Squad's APC.

B Squad gets out and carries the wounded marines into their APC while fending off an Kiande Amedha attack. The marines then pull out of the complex in the APC. After crashing down a hole, the APC arrives in the Queen's lair and using the turret manages to kill her. The APC then uses the turrets again to blast a hole to the outside and escapes, making it back onto the dropship in time. As the dropship heads back into orbit, the bomb detonates. Then a Facehugger drops inside the dropship shortly after. Aliens: Ride Fright

The Vinza travels to Rosamund 6 to pick up an observation team prior to the planet being terraformed, and find they want to stay to continue studying the Kiande Amedha infesting the planet.

When Kiande Amedha are discovered on the verdant world Rosamond 6, a small team of scientists, led by the enigmatic Jocasta Malvaux, is dispatched to investigate them. Their reports eventually lead authorities on Earth to declare the Kiande Amedha a threat to all native life on the planet, and thus the Vinza is dispatched to extract the science team and deploy a large number of robotic drones that will scour the planet and exterminate all non-native fauna, sterilizing the Kiande Amedha threat and preserving the planet for future human habitation. Anticipating that Jocasta may be reluctant to abandon her research, her son Rory accompanies the mission to act as mediator.

Upon reaching Rosamond 6, several of the Vinza's crew, including Rory and the ship's captain Clark, set out on foot to investigate the scientists' camp, protected by a defensive energy field projected from their ship and a Colonial Marine escort. They find the camp abandoned and littered with the bodies of several of the science team, quickly deducing that they were victims of Chestbursters. Straying outside the range of the ship's protection field, they find several empty Ovomorphs, and one of the Marines is killed when he slips and stumbles into them, burned to death by the still-potent acid they contain. Rushing back to the ship, the crew are attacked by a mass of Facehuggers, but are saved when they reach the safety of the protection field, which holds the creatures at bay. However, they discover that the two Marines left to guard the ship have vanished.

Realizing that the bodies at the camp represent only a fraction of the science team, Rory, Clark and the Marines head back out in search of the remaining personnel. They eventually discover that they have relocated to a new base of operations inside a cave system, hidden by advanced camouflage systems. When Rory informs the scientists of their plan to sterilize the Kiande Amedha threat on the planet, Jocasta baulks, insisting the planet's ecosystem is adapting to the creatures and will eventually reach a balance. To prove her point, she has Rory and Clark don special protective suits the team has developed to mask them from the Kiande Amedha before taking them to a lush valley nearby that has not been touched by the creatures. As Rory had predicted, she refuses to leave, and because the poison-packers will recognize any humans left behind as being alien to the planet and therefore viable targets, Clark cannot authorize their release.

Despite his mother's insistence, Rory remains unconvinced that there can ever be any co-existence with the Kiande Amedha. He is also concerned that many of the science team remain unaccounted for, despite Jocasta's claims that they are merely working at other observation posts. Rory's concerns are compounded by the furtive behavior of many of the scientists he talks to. Eventually, one of them, a man named Rusty, opens up and expresses a desire to leave. Jocasta agrees, but asks that he complete scheduled maintenance on a remote piece of equipment before he goes. Accompanying him, Rory's suspicions are confirmed when Rusty shows him evidence that the Kiande Amedha are systematically slaughtering every living creature on the planet, and that the verdant valley Jocasta showed them earlier has only been spared because it is separated from them by a large crevasse. Rusty also confirms that the missing scientists have in fact perished during the course of the research, Jocasta seemingly valuing the lives of the Kiande Amedha more than her own people. Shortly afterwards, Rusty's suit fails and he is attacked and seemingly killed by a Kiande Amedha, right in front of a horrified Rory.

Rushing back to the hide, Rory is cut off and surrounded by Kiande Amedha, but is shocked when the creatures ignore him and instead turn on each other. Retreating to the hide with the others, Rory deduces that there are in fact two strains of Kiande Amedha on the planet, locked in a struggle for supremacy, and that the humans are being temporarily spared so that the victorious strain can later use them to reproduce. Disillusioned by the savagery on Rosamond 6, Rory finally orders the scientists removed, by force if necessary, and the poison-packers released. Jocasta continues to refuse to abandon her work, and she and her team disappear. With the Kiande Amedha war coming to an end and the creatures once again becoming hostile, the surviving Vinza crew cut their losses and make a break for their ship. Upon arriving, they encounter the surviving scientists, who have finally seen sense and abandoned Jocasta. They board the Vinza, but before it can lift off Jocasta confronts them one final time. Rory watches as she is surrounded by Kiande Amedha and killed, before the Vinza lifts off and deploys its cargo of poison-packers. Aliens: DNA War

Master Sergeant Alyn Harper, Sergeant Lulu Hoops, and Sergeant Bax Patel investigate the presence of a Jingti Long company ship at the abandoned facility on Fiorini 161. When the Chinese are wiped out by Kiande Amedha, the Marines withdraw.

An elite three-man Colonial Marine spec ops team is dispatched to Fiorina "Fury" 161 when suspicious activity is detected on the supposedly abandoned and deserted planet. After waking from hypersleep in orbit, the team is briefed by the synthetic pilot of their ship, named Sid. Sid recounts to them the events that led to Fury being abandoned, going all the way back to Ellen Ripley's first encounter with a Kiande Amedha aboard the Nostromo, through the incident at Hadley's Hope, to Ripley's arrival on Fury and the subsequent Kiande Amedha incident at the prison colony that claimed the lives of all but one of the ex-convicts serving as custodians there. Sid goes on to explain that Weyland-Yutani sent three separate science teams to scour the planet in the aftermath of the incident, but nothing of value was recovered and Fury has been deserted for the past ten years. Until now.

Activity has been detected at the prison complex, including the presence of a highly advanced stealth starship that suggests the mystery intruders are far more than squatters or pirates. Suspecting the trespassers may have found something of value at the colony that they missed, Weyland-Yutani has arranged for the small USCM team to go in and investigate.

Team leader Master Sergeant Alyn Harper and Sergeants Lulu Hoops and Bax Patel descend to the surface, setting down some distance from the prison and heading in on foot. Upon arriving, they find the ship and realize it belongs to the Jĭngtì Lóng Corporation, as well as evidence of activity and temporary shelters set up around the wreck of the Type 337 EEV that brought Ripley to the planet a decade previously. However, the area is suspiciously devoid of human activity. Harper has Hoops runs a heat scan and she detects multiple heat sources inside the ship, but struggles to get a clear fix beyond a large group clustered around the ship's engine core.

Recognizing Jingti Long as a ruthless competitor to Weyland-Yutani with a history of aggressive corporate espionage, Harper elects to investigate further. The team finds the interior of the EEV has been utterly stripped by the intruders. With his knowledge of past events on the planet and with mission parameters that include the recovery of any Kiande Amedha specimens — in whole or in part — they might encounter, Harper becomes concerned that the Jĭngtì Lóng team found something that Weyland-Yutani overlooked and now have access to viable Kiande Amedha research materials.

The team approaches the Jingti Long ship, finding it powered down and seemingly abandoned. However, blood on the exterior ramp hints at some kind of slaughter in the recent past. They cautiously approach the ship's open rear hatch, stopping when they hear fatal screams from inside, followed by the screech of an alien creature. Realizing the Jĭngtì Lóng team has indeed recovered Kiande Amedha samples — and fallen victim to them — Harper elects to go against his orders to retrieve samples for Weyland-Yutani, knowing they could never hope to contain the creatures, and proposes they kill them all. When his compatriots agree the Kiande Amedha must be destroyed, all three ready their Pulse Rifles and prepare to enter the ship. Aliens: Bug Hunt – Deep Black

Private Anderson has a nightmare in which he is being impregnated by a Facehugger. Upon awakening, he discovers Kiande Amedha had broken out in the research complex on LV-426, slaughtering the USCM stationed there. Private Anderson makes his way through the Derelict at the center of the research facility and into the adjaceerted colony. He restores power and systems at the complex, then opens the main gate and races to a waiting APC.

Weyland-Yutani refuses to arrange an evacuation dropship until Anderson deactivates the coolant systems in the Atmosphere Processing Plant. They hope the resultant explosion would eliminate the Kiande Amedha. Once completed, a dropship collected him from the processor's landing pad.

The dropship took Anderson to the USS Odobenus, a space station orbiting LV-426. The Kiande Amedha infestation had somehow spread here too, and to make matters worse, shortly after Anderson's arrival a Yautja vessel destroyed the dropship and docked with the station. As a result, Anderson was forced to fight his way across the station to an escape pod, encountering and slaying two Yautja and several Xenoborg prototype cyborgs along the way.

The escape pod delivered Anderson to the nearby USS Tyrargo, but once again he discovered the Kiande Amedha infestation was one step ahead of him; the Tyrargo was completely overrun, and the entire crew had either been killed or fled the ship. After fighting his way through massive Kiande Amedha resistance, including several Praetorians, Anderson encountered and defeated another Yautja in a hanger bay. Anderson's commander then informed him that Weyland-Yutani thanked him for his services, but they had elected not to rescue him at this time.

Unfortunately, Anderson is attacked by a Predalien. Anderson's commander, refusing the leave the Private to die, ignores Weyland-Yutani's orders, opening an access door so Anderson could escape. Anderson kills more Kiande Amedha and Praetorians en route to a large hangar at the bottom of the ship. There, he encounters a Queen. Anderson, unable to penetrate the Queen's hide with his Pulse Rifle, disengages the safety locks, opens the hangar's airlock, and seals himself inside a small alcove. From there, he watches the Queen get sucked into outer space and to her death. AvP Game

A Kiande Amedha, Specimen 6, is grown in captivity in the Weyland-Yutani labs on the planet BG-386. Scientists led by Dr. Groves observe Specimen 6's maturation with interest. Weyland himself believes it to be smarter than any other Kiande Amedha he has encountered.

Later, Weyland opens the Yautja Pyramid located beneath the research complex. This releases a massive EMP pulse, cutting the power to the labs, including Specimen 6's restraints. Specimen 6 breaks free and frees the Queen and its fellow Kiande Amedha.

Specimen 6 goes to the nearby Freya's Prospect colony, utilizing vents and sewers to avoid detection. It decimates the population there.

Specimen 6 races through a thick jungle, finding more hosts, as it makes its way to the colony's ore refinery to protect the Matriarch and the newly established Hive. Once the Matriarch is secure, Specimen 6 goes to the combat arena in the Yautja ruins and fights two surviving Young Bloods. This attracts the attention of an Elite Yautja. Specimen 6 is able to weaken the Elite Yautja, impregnating it with a Facehugger, later spawning the Abomination.

A Yautja Young Blood, Dark, stands before his clan leader, Spartan, and several other Elites in a jungle on an unknown planet. They train Dark in the basics of fighting and hunting Kiande Amedha, using Warriors as prey. After Dark has slain the Warriors, he is promoted to the rank of Elite. Dark is then sent to BG-386 with Wolf and another Elite to investigate a distress call sent by a party of Young Bloods there.

Above BG-386, the USS Marlow are preparing for a combat drop when Dark's vessel comes out of cloaking nearby and destroys the Marlow, leaving only a handful of Marines alive scattered on other small ships. Major Van Zandt orders the survivors to land. One Marine, "Rookie", is knocked out during the drop. His comrades are attacked by Kiande Amedha on the surface. When Rookie regains consciousness, he is alone in a deserted part of the colony.

The three Elites discover the Young Bloods dead, and find themselves in the middle of a battle between the Kiande Amedha and the USCM. Since the Kiande Amedha infestation has escalated out of control, the Elites plan to destroy the Young Bloods' equipment and eliminate the Matriarch.

Corporal Tequila orders Rookie to make for the wrecked Freya's Prospect colony, to rendez-vous with other Marines and get vital systems back online to help locate other survivors.

When that objective is complete, the Marines fall back to a new rendezvous point but are ambushed by a Kiande Amedha Warrior in the sewers. Rookie is captured but he regains consciousness and kills the Warrior before reaching the Hive. Corporal Tequila informs him that Major Van Zandt lead an assault on the Matriarch in the nearby refinery, but has since disappeared. When Rookie reaches Van Zandt, his squad has already been wiped out and Van Zandt has been impregnated. Van Zandt orders Rookie to shoot him.

Moving further into the newly established Hive, Rookie encounters the Matriarch. Rookie kills her in an explosion. This paralyzes Specimen 6 with pain.

Dark disposes of two of the Young Bloods' bodies in the jungle, then follows a trail to the refinery, but finds the Matriarch already dead and the refinery destroyed. Dark then finds one of the Elites who arrived with him dead in the next chamber, his Smart-Disc in hand. Dark collects the disc and leaves. He goes to the ancient Yautja ruins, where he finds an ancient Yautja Bio-Mask with Kiande Amedha-tracking sensors. Before he can leave, he is trapped and forced to kill a Praetorian.

While making contact with Rookie, Tequila and the dropship Typhoon is brought down by a Young Blood before a rescue can be made. Alone and trapped on the surface, the administrative android Katya from the Weyland-Yutani facility at the Yautja Pyramid offers assistance. Following Katya's instructions, Rookie locates other survivors throughout the ruins. He also manages to kill the Yautja responsible for shooting down Typhoon. Rookie finds Tequila, but she too has been impregnated. Rookie prepares to shoot her as he did with Van Zandt but Katya tells him that she can save Tequila if brought to the Weyland-Yutani research labs.

However, Weyland prevents Katya from removing the Chestburster from Tequila. They are forced instead to put her into stasis to prevent the Chestburster from maturing. Rookie is sent to confront Weyland himself in order to acquire his data pad and use it to recall Weyland's personal transport since all the Marine dropships and the Marlow were destroyed. Rookie succeeds, killing Weyland in the process - revealing Weyland as a synthetic.

Dark heads for the Weyland-Yutani research labs to kill Karl Bishop Weyland, the man behind the Kiande Amedha outbreak. This leads him to an ancestral Pyramid, where he is trapped by the Abomination, which honor dictates he must kill. Their conflict brings down the already unstable structure.

Dark defeats the Abomination, and with Weyland also dead, Dark leaves the planet aboard a ship on a course to the Kiande Amedha homeworld.

Meanwhile, Rookie, Tequila and Katya escape aboard Weyland's shuttle. They enter cryo-sleep while the pilots transmit the data pad's contents over the radio. The transmission is received by another unidentified Weyland. He studies the coordinates of the Kiande Amedha homeworld on the screen before him.

Elsewhere, Specimen 6 has matured into a Praetorian, created a new Hive, and begins molting into a new Queen. AvP2 Game

Two Colonial Marine squadrons aboard the USS Diomos are sent to the destroyed Hadley's Hope to exterminate the Kiande Amedha presence. Fighting through numerous Kiande Amedha, they destroy the colony's corrupted defense systems.

The Marines then confront by Weyland-Yutani synthetics. The synthetics were reprogrammed to capture Kiande Amedha specimens for a biological weapons project. The Marines destroy the synthetics.

The Marines continue deeper into the Hive, battling the Kiande Amedha and Weyland-Yutani's bio-organic weapons. The Marines are confronted by a large dragon-like Kiande Amedha, but defeat the creature.

The Marines find the secret laboratory established by Weyland-Yutani within the Hive. They exterminate the remaining Kiande Amedha specimens and the synthetic guards.

The Marines finally reached the Hive's egg chamber and confront the Queen.

The Marines activate the colony's self-destruct and evacuate the colony, only to encounter the Queen again. After the Marines fend-off the Queen, trapping her within the colony, they manage to escape from LV-426.

Two Coast Guard officers named Barton and Lyle were dispatched aboard the Dutton to investigate and destroy an old freighter named Junket, which was dangerously close to entering Earth's atmosphere. However, the Junket had been infested by kiande amedha during the ship's stay on the creature's homeworld. Additionally, a single specimen had survived throughout the decades on the freighter. The Junket was destroyed according to plan, but not before the adult kiande amedha managed to jump ships. The creature killed the Dutton's crew, puncturing the hull in the process, destroying both the creature and the Dutton.

However, shortly before its end, the Dutton was able to retrieve the Junket's data banks and send it to HQ. The data found its way to military high command, providing it with the location of the kiande amedha Homeworld. Eager to collect a kiande amedha specimen for study, the military quickly initiated plans for an expedition to the homeworld.

A joint operation to journey to the homeworld and retrieve a kiande amedha for research was initiated, involving leading expert in the field, Dr. Waidslaw Orona, and Colonel Stephens of the military (secretly working for Bionational). Against, Stephens' objections, Orona secured the services of Wilks to go on the mission.

In preperation for the task, Wilks prepares a squad of advanced androids for the task, who were designed to act like humans and were oblivious to their real identity.

Meanwhile, Bionational, aware of EarthGov's plans, prepared a mission of its own to intercept the mission and prevent it from obtaining a specimen while aiming to secure a kiande amedha for its own research. For this operation, Bionational hired Patrick Massey, a highly skillful and sociopathic freelancer, to prepare and lead the intercept. Aliens: Outbreak

Billie has been struggling with the aftermath of their encounter with the Kiande Amedha. Billie is in a mental institution suffering horrible reoccurring nightmares, and when nothing seems to help her, the doctors decide to wipe her memory.

Wilks goes to visit Billie before he departs, only to learn about the planned memory-wipe. Wilks believes Billie to be the only thing that marks his existence and honors his squad's sacrifice, so he extracts her from the institution and smuggles her on board the ship flying to the homeworld.

April 5

The EarthGov mission launched the transport vessel Benedict from a military launch pad in Toowoomba, Australia to gain an Kiande Amedha specimen from an Kiande Amedha-controlled planet. The operation was placed under the command of Colonel Stephens, with Wilks acting as an adviser.

At the same time, the Bionational intercept took up pursuit aboard the ship K-014, starting its own mission, which was dubbed Operation Outreach. It was manned by a crew of corporate mercenaries intent on keeping the Kiande Amedha' secrets for their paymasters.

It was quickly discovered that Wilks had smuggled Billie on board. Stephens was furious, but let the issue slide considering the mission was already underway. During the gravity burn travel period, Stephens secretly maintained contact with the Bionational ship trailing them and updated Massey about the situation. While on patrol, a human named Easley stumbled upon Stephens' betrayal, but was killed by Stephens by being thrown out of the Benedict's A-2 airlock before he could reveal his treachery. While traveling to the home world, Billie falls in love with Bueller. Aliens: Outbreak

Dr. Waidslaw Orona produces his Theory of Alien Propagation. Aliens: Theory of Alien Propagation

February.

Bionational had found the missing pilot pod of the Junket, with the Junket's navigator James T. Likowski aboard in stasis – and a kiande amedha embryo gestating inside of him. Likowski was brought to a Bionational facility in Houston, Texas, where the gestation process was supervised by two Bionational researchers, Dr. Tobias Dryner and Louis Reine. The creature hatched successfully, attacking Dr. Dryner in the process, who had gotten too close to the hatching. During the attack, Reine killed his superior to ensure the creature's safety. The Chestburster was transferred to a high-security lab in Lima, Peru, where it quickly grew in size, revealing itself to be a Queen. Inside a sealed artificial environment, the Queen built a Hive and began to lay Ovomorphs. At the same time, the creature started to send out a telepathic signal, resulting in unusually specific nightmares afflicting humans in a fifty-mile radius.

Meanwhile, a man named Salvaje, who was a former employee of Bionational, had become religiously obsessed with the kiande amedha after he had learned of the Queen's existence due to his contacts inside the company. By splicing a message propagating his fanatic beliefs into the television network, Salvaje – with the “help" of the Queen's telepathic signal – quickly amassed a cult around him, the Church of Immaculate Incubation, and led a devastating suicide attack on the Lima facility. While a security protocol destroyed the facility, the Queen and many of Salvaje's followers, it was already too late: Several infected cultists had escaped and slowly began to spread the kiande amedha organism in the surrounding region.

EarthGov, who had an ongoing investigation on Salvaje, learned of the incident soon after by interrogating a technician named Pindar, who had helped the cult leader with splicing his message into the network. Orona immediately contacted Bionational and arranged a meeting with Dryner and two representatives named Green and Red to discuss the imminent threat and ensure their cooperation to contain it. Meanwhile, with the help of infected cultists, the organism had spread as far as Chicago. Orona deployed military special forces which, under the invocation of the Planetary Security Act, could be deployed planet-wide in under three hours and followed up on any unexplained cases of disappearances. The aggressive contamination procedures at first proved very effective, resulting in the destruction of small nests in New Chicago, Lesser Miami, Havana and Madrid. During the following months, Orona's teams prevailed as the infestation thrived, razing larger nests in Paris, Moscow, Brisbane and Antarctic City.

April.

Arriving in orbit at the Kiande Amedha-controlled world, the Benedict is boarded and taken over by the mercenaries aboard the K-014. Aided by Stephens, the K-014 docked with the Benedict. Massey and his forces quickly took control of the crew of the Benedict, with only Billie managing to evade capture and to go into hiding in the ship's ventilation shafts.

After killing Stephens, Massey ordered his mercenaries to land on the planet and to have the Benedict's Marines infected with Facehuggers to allow for further research while they would supervise the foray from the safety of their Air Pods. The Bionational dropship touched down near a very large Hive structure, and the mercenaries forced the Marines to investigate the site while they would supervise the foray from the safety of their Air Pods.

While the Marines explored the Hive, winged creatures attacked the Air Pods, decimating Massey's forces and forcing the survivors to seek shelter in the Hive. There, the troops were attacked by kiande amedha. The Marines, astonished by the fact that they neither got impregnated nor killed, emerged from the Hive and noticed the predicament of Massey's forces. The crew of the Benedict were all unknowing synthetic humans, created and trained to be expendable but nevertheless installed with an overpowering instinct to save human life. Subconsciously following their programmed directive to help humans no matter the circumstances, the Marines armed themselves and entered the Hive to rescue the mercenaries.

On the Benedict, Billie kills Massey. Back in control, Billie and Wilks noticed the situation on the surface and took Massey's lander down to help the Marines. While evacuating the Hive, Bueller was ripped in half, revealing the squad's android identity. Billie is distraught to learn that Bueller is a synthetic. Billie and Wilks landed near the Hive and took up the survivors. Wilks now planned to eradicate the Hive, using warheads from the Benedict, but before he could do this, the kiande amedha swarmed over the lander. Trapped inside, the survivors were unexpectedly rescued by the arrival of a lone Collector, who effortlessly obliterated the attacking kiande amedha.

During the first few months after the destruction of the Lima facility, the military campaign spearheaded by Orona managed to keep the infestation in check, the situation quickly worsened. The kiande amedha began to adapt to the extermination strategies of the special forces. Instead of concentrating their presence in large Hives, the creatures resorted to create countless small nests, rendering large-scale military strikes useless and making detection difficult and containment effectively impossible. A noteworthy example is the infestation of Abidan and the surrounding countryside on the Ivory Coast in Greater North Africa. Within a fifty-mile radius, no less than 80 nests were discovered, where not only humans, but also cattle had been used for impregnation.

With the kiande amedha's change of behavior, the infestation quickly escalated, and the military campaign followed suit. A giant Hive consisting of a large number of small nests joined by tunnels had claimed Diego Suarez on the northern tip of Madagascar. Upon discovery, Orona was left with no choice but to deploy a whole division of forces to counter the infestation. Another dark landmark of the campaign took place two months later with the nuclear destruction of Jakarta by Orona's orders.

The kiande amedha infestation had consumed Australia to a point that the whole continent had to be placed under complete quarantine. Anyone who would try to travel to Australia or escape from it was shot down by Coast Guard satellites. Global infrastructure and human society was on the verge to collapse.

It was then when the lander received Orona's transmission, which informed Wilks and the others of the kiande amedha infestation on Earth. Hoping that the Space Jockey would help them against the kiande amedha scourge, Wilks, Billie and the others blew up the Hive and departed for Earth aboard the Benedict, accompanied by the Space Jockey in its own ship.

At this point, the military governments realized that containment was no longer an option and switched tactics from trying to eradicate the kiande amedha to establishing and protecting safe zones. Eventually, the local governments dissolved and united themselves to the Military Alliance, effectively suspending all national boundaries. Martial law was declared, providing the military with even larger authority in dealing with infected humans. All pretense of a protocol to be followed were dropped, and the mere suspicion that a civilian might be infected was enough to order her or his execution. At first, giving such an order was limited to military personnel ranked above colonel. This limitation, however, was quickly loosened until any soldier with a gun was allowed to kill an allegedly infected person.

It was at this point in the war that human scientists made a horrifying discovery while researching captured kiande amedha specimens: The creatures were becoming more intelligent. While a normal adult kiande amedha was not above the intellectual level of an average dog, a Queen captured during an engagement in downtown San Francisco exhibited a level of intelligence comparable to an IQ of 175 – smarter than most humans. Added to this alarming development was the creatures' tenacity and willingness to sacrifice countless individuals to achieve their goals. In the end, it was the kiande amedha's persistent ability to adapt to given circumstances that ensured its victory. The infestation had now spread to even the most distant habitats on Earth, be it deserts, jungles or the Arctic ice.

November.

Now faced with the outlook of losing Earth to the kiande amedha altogether, a massive exodus of the civilian population started. Countless private starships fled to Luna or the asteroid belt beyond Mars, while a smaller number retreated to the colonies outside the Sol system. The Military Alliance eventually declared ownership of private vessels illegal, confiscating the ships to enable its own withdrawal of key personnel to the outer colonies. What little remained of any form of infrastructure finally broke down, including landlines for communication, which restricted its use to satellite relays, provided there was enough power to access them. Civilization was surrendered to anarchy. After the loss of around one billion human lives, humanity was abandoning Earth to the kiande amedha.

Together with roughly 600 million other humans, Orona remained on Earth, tucked away in a heavily fortified military complex. After chronicling the Earth War and initiating its broadcast as his last legacy, he committed suicide as the Kiande Amedha overrun the complex. But he also left another heritage: A stockpile of fusion bombs timed to detonate when the last high-ranking military personnel evacuated from the complex. The bombs would eradicate the kiande amedha and render Earth uninhabitable for a long time, but eventually, humanity might be able to return.

The Benedict returns to Earth, and they are told by a general that Earth's armed forces are abandoning the planet. There is a mass exodus from Earth, most of the survivors being military. Wilks, Billie and Bueller join this flight, commandeering one of the fleet's many unmanned cargo ships. The Space Jockey remains behind in orbit. As she departs, Billie receives a final psychic warning - though arriving on the pretense of an alliance, the Space Jockey revealed that it was not interested in helping humanity, but to conquer Earth.

Shortly after the last ships had left, the Space Jockey deactivated the detonation sequence for Orona's bombs in order to protect its prize and retreated into orbit where it initiated a Terraforming process to adapt Earth to the needs of its race.

With all government and military key personnel either dead or evacuated, those left behind on Earth had to fend for themselves. Food and water shortage, missing power and, first and foremost, the kiande amedha made every day a fierce struggle for survival. The creatures spread unhindered, further mercilessly decimating the human population. By the end of 2193, human casualties had risen to the billions, with a kiande amedha population on Earth of several millions. It was around the time these numbers were recorded that Earth was declared completely overrun. Meanwhile, civilian broadcasts also began reporting the sightings of the first Egg Silos. With the kiande amedha population ubiquitous, the telepathic signal of the Queens rose to massive intensity, which caused humans to freely seek out the creatures and submit to impregnation.

However, it was not only the kiande amedha that proved an immense threat to the survivors, but also man himself. The creatures were aided by Bug Feeders, individuals who abducted other humans to bring them before the Queens for breeding. Other bands merely succumbed to anarchy and cruelty. Bombing runs on survivors using abandoned military vehicles were not unheard of. While rumors of shelters like the Hidden Underground were as numerous as dubious, the last real safe haven was Gateway Station in Earth's orbit, providing a home for over 15,000 refugees. Aliens: Outbreak

The research vessel Capella was overrun by kiande amedha, and one of its crew members activated the vessel's self-destruct system moments before being killed by a kiande amedha. The debris of the destroyed Capella rained down on Earth, spreading the kiande amedha plague and causing apocalyptic devastation. Mankind's only hope for survival is to fight their way to a deep space cargo ship and leave the Earth behind. Aliens: Armageddon game

May.

At Third Base, the military facility of the project on a planetoid, they attempted to domesticate the kiande amedha to a degree where it not only ceased to act hostile towards humans, but also was able to take and follow orders, with the ultimate goal to turn the organism into a loyal and powerful army. While the experiments also had a chemical component, the tool used most was behavioral conditioning.

During the early stages of Earth War, Dr. Orona arranged for a young Queen to be sent to Third Base. At last, the project was able to begin the application phase. The results came quick and were positive. Meanwhile, the base's comm systems were able to receive the signals from the spysats and civilian satellites in Earth's orbit.

Discovering that the Queen, possessing far superior intellect, commanded the actions of her Drones using an unspecified link, Spears conducted exercises making use of this link. One trial had a human test subject locked in with a Drone, with the Queen watching from a separate cage. When the Drone attacked the human, Spears proceeded to punish the Queen by burning her Ovomorphs. The trial seemingly proved successful, to the point where Spears thought that he was able to control the Queen merely by showing her the fire of his cigar lighter.

A side project was an experiment in which the scientists attempted to train the Drones in the operation of firearms, using modified M-69 Machine Guns. While the Drones were never able to properly aim at and hit a target, they actually managed to hold and fire the guns. Drones deemed ready for his army were put into stasis tubes filled with fluropolymer fluid. The addition of a hypnotic chem fluid ensured that the Drones remained docile.

This project started out with a staff of 500 USCM soldiers, 48 scientists, 15 workbots and an unknown number of low-grade androids, plus 168 colonists at the neighboring Terraforming colony.

Spears' mental state began to deteriorate, which soon affected the project. Spears ruled his staff with an iron fist, punishing even slightest signs of dissidence. One occurrence in particular is evidence of this: For unknown reasons, a conflict erupted between Spears and the colonists, during which the civilians shut down the beacon of its base to protect themselves. Spears retaliated by seizing the colony under the pretense of a viral infection caused by the Terraforming process. He locked away the colonists in solitary quarantine cells and used them as breeding cattle for a secondary Hive inside the colony. Eventually, the whole population was decimated, and the colony firmly in the hands of the kiande amedha. Spears continued to use the Hive for research purposes, such as simulating human breeding conditions and further acclimating the creatures to human authority. The fate of the colonists and the existence of the second Hive were kept secret from lower-echelon troops. As the life support systems of the colony were automatic, no personnel had to be involved in the maintenance of the nest.

The Hive had grown large enough to create a second Queen, which would later be discovered when Spears took care of a group of dissidents who had fled to the colony.

Conditions inside the base were equally dire. Due to Spears' paranoia, his Marines were not allowed to roam the base armed. Perimeter sweeps were to take place every four hours. Slight missteps or minor instances of dissent were punished by feeding the offenders to the Queen and its entourage. The marine staff had been reduced to roughly 250 women and men, amounting to a death toll of 400 when including the colonists. Rumors and tales of Spears' madness persisted, and dissidence began to stir in secret. One particular person harboring such thoughts was Major Eugene Powell, Spears' second-in-command.

Powell, Spears' second-in-command, began to secretly harbor serious doubts about his superior's fitness to lead. Several individuals were plotting to escape Spears' reach by fleeing to the nearby Terraformer colony. At the same time, the project itself proved to be seemingly successful, causing Spears to view himself as a saviour who would deliver Earth from the kiande amedha with his own kiande amedha army. To help him with his experiment, the installation was receiving automated cargo transports with impregnated humans from Earth “procured" by the military.

November

Billie, the synthetic Bueller, and Wilks escaped the Kiande Amedha-infested Earth on a cargo drone, the American. The crew discovers the ship is ferrying Kiande Amedha to an unknown destination. After killing the Kiande Amedha, the American autopilots to the military post commanded by Spears. Spears angrily reprimanded the new arrivals for having been forced to destroy his cargo of impregnated humans. Spears had intended to have these specimens examined for possible mutations from being exposed to different human DNA strains back on Earth. He ordered Wilks and Billie to be put in quarantine and be examined for infection by subcutaneous monitors and full-prism spectography. Bueller was placed under isolated care in the research facilities in order to be retrofitted with a bipedal frame which would replace his missing torso. It was only when Spears reviewed information about Wilks and his history with the Kiande Amedha from the Bibliocom that he revised his opinion. He invited Wilks and Billie to dinner where he presented his plans to reclaim Earth. While Wilks and Billie were shocked about this insanity, they decided to play along. It was then that news of a small band of his soldiers having fled the compound arrived. Spears gave Wilks and Billie free run of the base and left to deal with the traitors personally.

While Spears had been preoccupied with his guests, a group of three Marines, consisting of PFC Renus, Corporal Peterson and PFC Magruder, overwhelmed the guard at South Lock, stole one of the crawlers and headed for the civilian Terraformer colony. Upon arrival, the group found the base devoid of human life. Soon, they discovered that the site and the colonists had been claimed by a kiande amedha Hive set up by Spears for his experiments. The kiande amedha slaughtered the Marines, save for Renus, who managed to reach the exit despite heavy injuries. However, his escape was thwarted by Spears and his squad, who had just arrived at the scene. They locked Renus in to be killed by the kiande amedha and secured the site afterward to assess the state of the Hive.

Back at Third Base, Wilks was approached by Powell in the hangar bay. Sensing an opportunity to stop Spears, Eugene Powell convinced Wilks to lead a mutiny against Spears and put an end to his madness. Using a delay in Spears' return from the colony due to a storm for preparations, Wilks cut long-range communication and rounded up Spears' loyalists while mobilizing his own men. He then manned a military crawler outside the base to shoot down Spears upon his return.

After the storm had passed, Spears and his men prepared for the return to Third Base. However, the general's paranoia had caused him to install a noisemaker signal which alerted him of the imminent danger. He transferred his squad to a stealth ship from the plant and sent the empty troop carrier on ahead via remote while following with his own vessel at a safe distance. Wilks took the bait and was unprepared for the vicious counterattack Spears' stealth ship unleashed. As Wilks took the bait and was unprepared for the vicious counterattack Spears crippled every vehicle parked outside, Wilks and Billie barely managed to retreat to the inside.

While Wilks, Billie and the mutineers holed themselves up inside the compound, Spears and his squad infiltrated the facility by using an unsupervised path along the fusion plant's heat sinks east of the North Lock. Spears and his team reached the East Lock without being noticed and invaded the base. In order to cause disruption that would make it easier to reconquer the base, Spears used a private remote to unlock the Queen chamber, unleashing the creatures onto the base. The ensuing carnage forced Wilks, Billie and Powell to retreat to the hangar bay. However, Spears had locked all vessels capable of interstellar travel to his own security code, which forced Wilks and the others to look for a way to bypass his code.

Meanwhile, Spears had decided that the time was right to leave Third Base behind and reclaim Earth with his trained kiande amedha. The resistance inside the base was quickly subdued, and Spears' loyalists managed to capture the Queen without any further incident. Afterward, the troops immediately began loading the creatures onto the two transports designated for this mission: the MacArthur and the Jackson. Wilks, Billie and Eugene Powell were briefly captured by Spears, but managed to escape and overwhelm a few guards of whom they borrowed the uniforms to move around unnoticed. They had almost entered the MacArthur when a firefight ensued during which Eugene Powell was killed. Wilks and Billie got on board the MacArthur just in time before Spears, now aboard the Jackson, ordered both ships to take off. Seemingly intent to take his loyal men with him, he also told his soldiers to board the Grant, another of the transports present at the base. As Spears departed, however, he crippled the drives of all ships at Third Base, including the Grant, stranding his men on the planetoid.

Trapped aboard the transport, Wilks and Billie were also forced to leave Bueller behind. After leaving the orbit of the planetoid, the Jackson and the MacArthur began their journey to Earth.

During the voyage, Spears discovered the stowaways on the other ships via sensor readings, but paid them no further attention. In the meantime, Wilks and Billie put on EVA suits and used their maneuvering thrusters to leave the MacArthur and infiltrate the Jackson. Again, Spears was warned of the intruders and confronted them as soon as they entered the vessel. Although the general was forced to retreat after a brief battle, he managed to use the ship's system to trap Wilks and Billie in the aft cargo hold.

The ships eventually reached the Sol system, and time was running out. With no other options, Wilks developed an elaborate bluff: He told Spears that he had rigged the kiande amedha cargo of the MacArthur with timed explosives. He would trade an escape pod for the location of the bombs. The plan worked: With no time to verify the claim and unwilling to jeopardize the mission, Spears agreed. By the time Spears discovered that the explosives were a ruse, Wilks and Billie had safely escaped aboard the pod and reached Gateway Station, which acted as a safe haven for uninfected refugees. Using the comm systems, Wilks and Billie watched as Spears landed with his troops in the Natal province in South Africa. Spears' campaign was short-lived: As soon as the seemingly tame kiande amedha were free, they turned on Spears. After the Queen had decapitated the general, the kiande amedha army disappeared into the general Alien population. At Gateway Station, Wilks and Billie met up with the Ripley android to discuss a plan to free Earth from the Alien plague once and for all. Aliens: Nightmare Asylum

After the abandonment of the Earth by the government, three remaining USCM set up base at an abandoned police precinct building in New York City. The Marines are an officer named Sylvia known as "Silk", who could have evacuated the Earth to one of the Colonies but chose to stay and fight the bugs, and two other grunts who have been declared "non-vital" and left behind during the evacuation: Tom, and Phil Sandberg.

They search a nearby Bio-Research Company building for answers to the invasion. Instead of clues, the trio find that the building is infested with kiande amedha and a dying employee has set off a nuclear self-destruct device before killing himself. The three race to through the complex and back to the nearby police precinct to try and reach their ship and get away.

After fighting their way through the kiande amedha in the building, they first meet a group of fellow Marine 'non-vita's who have turned mercenary scavengers, then stumble upon the lair of the area's Queen, and finally meet a former policeman named Robertson next to their wrecked ship. Robertson, who now lives a few miles away with some families trying to survive, offers them information about the base that gives them a chance at shelter from the blast.

Unfortunately, things proceed badly from there. Aliens: Countdown

Earthwar! The very thought of it still brings fear to the hearts in small pockets of humanity which survived the global kiande amedha infestation. The fear, rage and greed of Minecorp and its high-paid, hi-tech unit of elite corporate mercenaries, offer an kiande amedha clean-up service for the right price.

After nuking and mopping-up a swarm of bugs in the Middle East, the triumphant hired guns return to homebase where they're given their next assignment. It appears that one city, on a small mining island off the west coast of Europe, had mysteriously warded off the kiande amedha plague, and Minecorp is eager to find out why, and if the answer could be turned into profit. Accordingly, a group of mercenaries sets off for this once proud capital of an empire that spanned the globe, but has now fallen on desperate times — London.

London, circa 22^nd century, has descended into a tribal existence operating on territorial imperatives. Rani, a seer in this tribe, fears that the reports from a rival caste (the Wests) of monsters stalking the city are true, but can offer no concrete proof. Though the revelations of the mercenaries about the global kiande amedha infestation confirm her views, the others in the tribe, particularly the leader, Artie, remain unconvinced.

Meanwhile, the mercenaries have arrived in London in an Armored Personnel Carrier, which provides a very real threat to the low-tech locals who go on the offensive, stranding the vehicle on a motorway ledge.

Come nightfall, a group of cloaked men abduct some villagers and transport them to an ominous cathedral in the center of the city. En rout, one of their party is attacked by a Facehugger and the stricken individual is handed over to the church's Archbishop, who drags him up to the cathedral's tower. There, the doomed soul comes face to face with a Queen, just as a Chestburster erupts from his sacrificial body.

Back at the village, the tribes people accuse the outsiders of causing the disappearance of their fellow villagers, and place them in chains. Rani doesn't accept this and helps them escape, joining the “spacemen” in their mission to unlock the sinister secrets of the city which may also help her find her missing soulmate, Martha. They flee on stolen horses and head for cover in the city's long disused transport tunnels.

A surprise sniper attack eliminates Minecorp's Huxley, but the others finally find refuge in the tunnels. Or so they think. When two Chestbursters erupt from their horses, they know that their motion trackers might be picking up more than rats.

In the tunnels they are set upon by a horde of fully-grown kiande amedha who wreak bloody havoc, separating Channon, the leader of the mercenaries, from Rani and the remaining Minecorp rep, Foston, who narrowly elude the kiande amedha. Channon emerges from the tunnels only to be set upon by another tribe, where she meets Lesley Sayle, the wife of one of her team, Foston, and a member of an earlier Minecorp survey that went M.I.A. With Sayle's help, they take a deadly boat ride down the Thames and to apparent freedom.

The fact that the group had encountered fully grown kiande amedha meant the creatures had breached the security of the city's cathedral where Archbishop Mahon had nurtured them, alongside their Queen in a foolish attempt to contain their evil within the church. Some of Mahon's congregation are becoming suspicious that this man of God is in league with the devil when one of the bishops announces the arrival of an off-worlder, Foston, who has a very curious tale to tell.

They inform Mahon that his plan has failed and that there are kiande amedha roaming the city. Mahon refuses to concede that they have anything to fear as long as they trust in God and appease the kiande amedha in their keeping. A pity the well-fed kiande amedha don't see it that way, as they chase the Archbishop and his guests from the cathedral and into the arms of their brood waiting outside. Predator : Xenogenesis mentions that both London and Paris are underwater thanks to climate change. Clearly not the case here. Aliens: Crusade

Earth is slowly retaken and repopulated. Christian Bloomer discovers Royal Jelly. Aliens: Crusade

On an unidentified planet, a Hive of kiande amedha have overrun a human colony and have now come into conflict with a group Colonial Marines dispatched to deal with the situation. One of the Warriors has just survived a battle with the Marines that has claimed the lives of nine of its brethren. Badly wounded, it waits until it is sure the coast is clear, before collecting a wounded Marine and carrying them back to the Hive to be host for a Chestburster.

Arriving at the Hive, the Warrior alerts the other Kiande Amedha to the presence of the Marines and the threat that they pose. The Warrior takes its captured prey to the Egg chamber and cocoons them to the wall. Now overcome by its injuries, the Warrior heads to the Queen's chamber. Presenting itself before her, it sacrifices itself so that she might feed on its body and stave off her own impending death. Back in the Egg chamber, the cocooned host is subdued by a Facehugger.

Meanwhile, a large group of Warriors have tracked the Marines to their camp. Realizing the need to rush through their superior firepower, the Kiande Amedha attack from multiple sides at once, swarming into the camp and killing or capturing any that they find. Back in the Hive, a new infant Queen erupts from the cocooned Marine's chest. It is carried to the Queen's chamber, where the dying mother passes on her knowledge and feeds the infant vital nutrients so that she may grow large and strong. Aliens: Bug Hunt – Dangerous Prey

A group of 10 civilians were escorted on foot by armed US Colonial Marines to view an "Alien Research Facility". An alarm goes off indicating some problems. The marine in charge would then tell the group to line up against the wall. When the alarm died down, a loud burst of steam blows, causing a scare.

Then the civilians would be huddled into the back of a corridor with the marine standing in front of the civilians. All the lights go out in the corridor. They would flicker on, at which moment a Kiande Amedha could be seen at the end of the corridor. The marine would begin firing at it. It would be seen to be getting closer and closer at every flickering on of the lights.

The civilians are hurried through the complex being herded by the Kiande Amedha who attempts to capture them. The citizens are then forced through an egg chamber where the Queen was visible.

Everyone gathered in a drop ship waiting area, watching the marine defend the 1 door for a short time before herding the citizens in an elevator. Again the lights flicker and the doors would open slightly allowing the Kiande Amedha to attack, taking one of the citizens.

The marine yells and pushing the citizens to run along a corridor and out a door as he stayed behind to cover their retreat. Aliens: Alien Wars game

In a skyliner high above the Kiande Amedha-contaminated Earth, Caryn Delacroix (the beautiful trophy-consort of corporate magnate Lucien Delacroix) cannot sleep. Terrifying images of pursuit, disfigurement, and bloody death have invaded her peaceful dreams and her safe and privileged world. However, she soon discovers that nightmares do come true. There are fates worse than death, as a Yautja comes to call.

Caryn finds herself playing a deadly game of cat-and-mouse as she is stalked by the fearsome Yautja. Yet, did the mysterious super-computer, TOY, construct this, or is it just a lethal virtual reality scenario? Unfortunately, Caryn does not have time to figure out the answer - she is too busy scrambling for her life. As if the Yautja were not enough of a threat, in her bid for escape Caryn comes face-to-face with a Kiande Amedha horde.

Safely back in her deluxe home in the skies, Caryn is still plagued by nightmares in which Yautja and Kiande Amedha abound, all of them intent on destroying her. The problem is, the nightmares are proving to be "Virtually Real".

Caryn discovers that she's been lied to, and the Yautja she assumed was a figment of her own tortured imagination is quite real -- and being held captive on board her husband's skyliner. In a desperate bid for escape, the Yautja forces Caryn to choose between her safe home in the skies versus an uneasy alliance with the fearsome creature.

With the ailing Yautja in tow, Caryn leaves the many deceptions of her former sheltered life behind. Then, she falls into the hands of rogues scheming to kidnap her, forced to undergo another genetic transformation, and sell her on the black market. Meanwhile, the Yautja makes life rough for the other inhabitants of Space Station Samara. However, everyone is in for some rude awakenings when they discover that one of the space station's inhabitants is a Lou-dte Kalei (Queen)!

Caryn, having escaped the black-market profiteers, takes off through the corridors of Samara in search of her sometime ally, the Yautja. Trapped in a Kiande Amedha nest, Caryn fights for her life and identity against the raging memories trapped inside her genetically perfect body and the former allies who want her dead. TecSeks, Kiande Amedha-killer robots, are loose inside the poorly defended station, already overwhelmed by its search for a Yautja, which means no back up for the others trapped in the Hive. To save them, Caryn prepares herself for the ultimate sacrifice...

Deep in the heart of the space station, Caryn and the team of soldiers sent to hunt her have one way out -- the Yautja ship in which Caryn came to the station. In a station without gravity, rapidly losing all atmosphere, all that lies between them and freedom is a vicious horde of Kiande Amedha-killer robots, and one Lou-dte Kalei. Will Caryn's strange transformation be their salvation or their death?

They leave to find the source of the deadly TecSek raid that decimated Samara Station with a Lou-dte Kalei on board. On the way, the transformed Caryn Delacroix and the Yautja "Big Mama" put the other humans through the deadliest training they will ever face -- a series of brutal tests designed to turn them into the fiercest hunters in the universe.

Caryn is lost in a virtual world with her arch-rival, Bobby DeMatier. They jump from the old west to distant planets to the crime-ridden streets of 1920s America. Both are locked in a battle for possession of Toy: the living computer that controls the skyliner spacecraft and the architect of their dreams.

Elsewhere on the ship, Shirow and DeMedici search for the cause of the Kiande Amedha takeover. As the clues unravel, their suspicions lead them to a betrayal that is closer than they would like it to be. All this, plus the debut of a brand-new Kiande Amedha hybrid!

General Amotz and her entourage narrowly escape a Company facility when it is over-run by Facehuggers. Amotz is wounded by acid while rescuing Daniel Ribar.

Owing to incidents at several other Weyland-Yutani research facilities, the USCM Corps has insisted on being allowed to inspect Weyland-Yutani's latest research space station during construction. General Amotz is assigned to lead the inspection detail, alongside fellow Marines Daniel Ribar and Cortez, who serve as her security detail. A Weyland-Yutani representative named Jones takes them on a tour of the facility, focusing in particular on the "Egg Lab", an automated facility that removes Facehuggers from their Ovomorphs, neuters their ability to impregnate hosts, and removes their tails to make them easier to handle. The objective is to produce controllable specimens that can be used as a source of Kiande Amedha acid, which has high value as an industrial cutting agent.

The group watches a demonstration of the process. An Ovomorphs is delivered to the chamber via an automated conveyor, before the Facehugger is coaxed out of its shell with a mannequin, which is bestowed with artificial movement, body heat, mammalian pheromones and carbon dioxide emissions to fool the creature into thinking it is a live host. Once the Facehugger attacks, it is captured, its dorsal proboscis is cauterized and its tail is removed with a laser scalpel.

However, when the neutered Facehugger is being delivered to the large liquid-filled tank where its compatriots are being stored, it fights the mechanical claws that hold it, tearing its skin and spilling its acid blood on the mechanism. The Facehugger escapes while the mechanical arm that had been carrying it strikes the tank, cracking the glass. Seizing their chance, the Facehuggers already imprisoned within begin pounding the weak point, eventually shattering the tank and freeing themselves from containment.

Working as a unit, the Facehuggers pile up against the window through which the inspection team had been observing, tearing three of their number apart so that their blood melts the glass and opens a breach. The Marines open fire on the creatures with their sidearms, but there are simply too many of them. Ribar is wounded by acid, while one of the creatures wraps itself around a guard's knee, constricting its limbs until it shatters his kneecap, incapacitating him. Suddenly, un-neutered Facehuggers join the melee, several of their castrated compatriots having breached the Ovomorphs storage room and released them from their Ovomorphs. Jones, Cortez and the wounded guard soon fall victim to the viable creatures.

Amotz and Ribar manage to eliminate the initial wave, but many of the Facehuggers escape into other areas of the station through holes melted in the deck by their acid blood. Ribar refuses to leave without his son Daniel, who has been left in the care of a Weyland-Yutani aide somewhere on the station, but Amotz sends the wounded Marine to their ship, promising to find Daniel herself. She takes a rifle from the fallen guard. Before moving on, she euthanizes Jones, Cortez and the weapon's original owner, sparing them the horror of dying from the Chestbursters they now host.

Moving through the corridors, Amotz eventually finds Daniel in one of the station's sleeping quarters. She recovers the boy, but when the aide watching him proves too terrified to move, she leaves her behind. Amotz fights her way back to the docking bay with Daniel in tow, but finds their way cut off by multiple Facehuggers clinging to damaged wires and piping dangling from the ceiling, forming a living curtain of flesh. She attempts to head back and take another route, but an enormous swarm of Facehuggers blocks their path. With no alternative, Amotz charges the living curtain, spraying the Facehuggers with automatic fire. As they fall, their blood melts through the floor, forming a chasm that Amotz is forced to leap across, badly burning herself on the acid still raining from above but succeeding in propelling Daniel safely across the gap.

Seriously wounded and close to unconsciousness, Amotz is saved by Ribar and their pilot. She awakes on the surgical table aboard their ship, heavily medicated and her wounds tended to. Ribar thanks her for saving his son, and both reflect with dry humor on their experience. Aliens: Bug Hunt – Hugs To Die For
