New page

What if that was another ship that had also lost the battle with the Xenomorph (Alien). David told Shaw near the end of Prometheus that there were many ships around. The movie ended with us seeing one of these ships departing, presumably with Shaw and David. David would probably know about the ships because he was able to read the language of the Engineers and find out the locations; He is an android, after all. The ship and Enginner in the 1979 Alien movie might very well be another ship with another pilot close by the SOS received by the Nostromo.

 After the squad landed, Hudson hacked into the door of the colony's main building and opened it. During one of the sweeps, [[Hicks]] and [[Frost]] came across a signal on the [[Motion Tracker]] that turned out to be a young girl from the colony. While [[Cynthia Dietrich|Dietrich]], [[Gorman]] and Ripley were tending to and interviewing the young colonist who went by the name [[Newt]]; Hudson was tracking the colonists transmitters that surgically implanted in them. He found the signals grouped in the Atmospheric Processor grouped on one of the sub levels. The marines left for the processor to investigate the signals from the colonists. Due to a tactical error; Gorman ordered the weapons slung and ordered flame units only. Frost and Hudson vocally objected to the order and Frost was volunteered to carry the ammo.
-The marines noticed a drastic change in the architecture as they descended into the hive that was in the processor. Hudson noted that even though it was hot, that the heat was more of a "dry heat". Dietrich found a live colonist and called the other marines over to help. The woman went into convulsions and a chestburster erupted from her chest. Dietrich then torched the body, after the creature and the body were incinerated Hudson noticed massive movement on the tracker.

 Hudson still insisting that here was something there besides the squad was soon proven right when the creatures attacked the squad and took two Marines and killed three. In the ensuing chaos Hicks kept yelling where was Apone to Hudson in a panic yelled that Apone was dead and suggested they get out of there. So the surviving marines made their escape with Drake and Vasquez providing cover fire. As Hudson made it back to the APC, he and the others were waiting on Drake to catch up but witnessed his death when Vasquez tried to save him. As the APC door was being closed; one of the creatures forced open the door and was killed by Hicks' shotgun. The creature's acidic blood got on Hudson's left arm, causing slight burns and excruciating pain for Hudson.

 In the year 2122, while returning from Thedus, the [[USCSS Nostromo]] was diverted to the Zeta II Reticuli system, the Nostromo's onboard computer, MU-TH-UR, intercepted a distress beacon originating from the planetoid [[LV-426]]. The crew members are awakened prematurely from their hypersleep, the crew responded to the beacon and took the Nostromo to the planetoid. a three-person survey crew explored the planetoid's surface where they came across a [[The Derelict|derelict spacecraft]].

Kane was impregnated by a [[Facehugger|facehugger]] and was taken back to the Nostromo for medical treatment, only to die a few hours later when the [[Xenomorph|xenomorph]] that was impregnated within him grew and burst violently out of his chest during the crew's last supper . The creature quickly matured into an adult and began killing the crewmembers one by one and led to the destruction of the ''Nostromo''.

 ==Design==
-The combat vest is based on the French armed forces "Cuirass de combat"' and consists of a sandwich of materials moulded to form a rigid shell. The outer layer of the sandwich is a ultra-light titanium alumide alloy to provide structural strength and ablative protection against lasers. Beneath this is a core, consisting of a layer of boron carbide resin bonded to a layer of graphite-composite carbon fibre. Boron carbide is an incredibly hard ceramic designed to shatter a bullet on impact while simultaneously forming a conoid base to absorb its energy. Beneath this, the carbon-fibre layer provides ballistic protection at the point of of penetration by delaminating across a large area, so absorbing more energy. Finally, on the inside of the armour is woven liner made of 1,500 denier venlar fibres. This woven liner dissipates the remainder of the energy by deforming in the area of impact, and is also able to catch any spelling or fragmentation from the first three layers. Since any bullet fragment impact on the armour shell tends to compromise its integrity and ability to provide ballistic protection, it is standard practice to replace any affected section immediately.

-In practice, the stopping power of armour is somewhat limited versus direct hits, particularly from high-velocity ball ammunition and HEAP small-arm rounds. However, it can be expected to stop low-powered ball ammunition and provide some protection against impact-fused explosive bullets and grenade or artillery fragments. Some stealth characteristics have also been included, such as curved and rounded surfaces to reduce radar signature, and infrared masking.

UNSC Marines surname the armour has been issued to is printed across the top portion of the front of the vest. Many Marines personalise their armour and this practice is mostly tolerated, unless the troops are in high profile positions.

-The main component is a rigid vest, which protects the thoractic-abdominal region, front and back, between the upper abdomen and lower neck. This comprises a two-piece clamshell secured by plastic clips. At the top of the clamshell, above each shoulder, is a rigid load-bearing arch from which hang the M3 Combat Webbing straps. These arches are padded beneath to protect the wearers shoulders when the armour is loaded with an IMP frame. Two segmented pieces attached by webbing straps protect the front and side of the shoulders. Inside the clamshell are remote biomonitors which measure the wearer's life signs, including heart-rate and breathing; an optic cable connects these to the PRC 489/4 transmitter in the M10 ballistic helmet.

As he was captured, a PMC operative went in place of Hicks in his cryotube. As his interrogation by Micheal Weyland began, the PMCs retrived the flight recorder data and took him to LV-426. As the PMCs began to experiment with the collected eggs over Fury 161 facehuggers broke out and attacked the PMCs breeding Xenomorphs, which at some point started a fire in the cryogenic compartment causing Ripley, Newt, and the imposter PMC operative to crash land on Fury 161 where the imposter was impaled by the safety support, Ripley no longer had a reason to examine his body for a chestbuster. A few weeks later, a small batallion of Colonial Marines discovered the Sulaco. Once they boarded, they were attacked by the Xenomorphs. During the battle, a PMC operative, which had taken control of the bridge, programmed the Sulaco to autopilot back to the LV-426, in hopes to regroup with the Weyland Yutani science base, Project Origin. Hick's transmission was received by Captain Cruz, who was ordered to investigate. Seventeen weeks after the Hadley's Hope incident, Corporal Christopher Winters boards the Sulaco to search for O'Neal, Keyes, and Bella. After finding Keyes and cutting him loose from the Alien Hive, Winters and Keyes ignore Cruz's orders return to retreat and instead continue Rhino 2-3's previous mission to retrieve the Sulaco flight recorder which proves successful at first until they attempt to return to the Sephora through the unstable umbillical. Keyes then begins to experience immediate chest pains, orders for the others to get back as he pulls out a grenade and procedes to blow himself up as a chestburster explodes from his chest, subsequently destroying the umbillical and costing the life of another marine along with his own. After managing to make it back inside the Sulaco, Winters and O'Neal procede to regroup with Bella and attempt to shut down the weapons system too late as the Sephora's reactors hit critical and cause the ultimate destruction of the ship and soon enough the Sulaco, the three marines forces to battle their way to a Hangar Bay and escape into the Atmosphere of LV-426. The small squad lands on LV-426, Cruz dispatches Winters, Bella, and O'Neal to find a personnel manifest, and to locate a scientist to remove the chestbuster from an impregnated Bella. Unsucessful with their second objective, the chestbuster tears our of Bella's chest. Winters and O'Neal pass through the derelict spacecraft to retrieve a mysterious Marine, captured by Weyland-Yutani's PMCs. Later, they recover the marine reavealing that Hicks is indeed alive, who proceeds to explain how he survived the attack on the Sulaco, and he was awaken because he was the ranking marine on board. After relentless days of torture he stated revealing only minor information that Wey-Yu was bound to discover later, saying as little as possible in order to keep himself alive. Afer being freed he joined Reid as they left for the Drop Pad. After they escaped the area to Hadley's Hope he told of the last FTL that was coming by on the next day to rap the science labs on the colony up and leave. After the battle with the queen they went to Micheal Weyland to interogate him, as O'Neal threatened to shoot him Bishop managed to talk him out of it. But as O'Neal lowered his pistol, Hicks grabbed O'Neals hand and fired at Micheal Bishop in the head killing him. However upon a further look it revealed Micheal Weyland was actually an special imposter anderoid that was sent to act as the real Micheal Weyland, Hicks commented saying, "But when there's only two of you in the room you notice when the other guy ain't breathin'," His fate is left unknown.
