Introducing the Alien to it's new environment
Dallas is called by Ash who tells him to get to the medics. Dallas and Ripley joins Ash outside. They wonders what had happened. Ash takes them inside. Kane lies unconcious on a bench - but the face hugger is gone. They close the door from the medics and start searching for the creature. They look in corners, in dark places. Ripley looks under the bench on which Kane lies. When she gets on her feet, the hugger falls down on her shoulder. She screams and beats it off her shoulder. Dallas and Ash runs to her. Dallas gets in front of Ripley to protect her, while Ash runs over to the motion-less hugger. He touches it with a stick. It moves it's legs feebly. They concludes that it is dead.
They argues on what to do with the dead hugger. Ash wants it for further studies, while Ripley wants to throw it off the ship. Dallas says he knows little of science and leaves the responsibility on Ash, who keeps it.
The crew is summuned to medics. Kane is awake! When asked of how he had been, the only thing he could remember was nightmares about being strangled. The crew is relieved that Kane is ok, and now they can quietly go back into hypersleep. But first - the last dinner. They eat some spaghetti bolognese (or so it seems). The crew jokes and everyone is in an excellent mood. Then Kane starts to chocke. Parker makes a joke about the quality of the food. Then it is obvious that Kane is in deep trouble. He starts having convultions while laying on the back on the table. The crew seems to think it's some kind of epileptic seizure. Then the front of Kane's shirt is soaked with blod. The crew is almost paralyzed. They don't know what happenes. Then blood gushes out of Kane's chest, spraying the crew with blood. Then something bursts through Kane's chest. It's a small, wormlike creature. It is colored beige and has lots of blood all over. The crew is paralyzed. The tiny creature faces thems, screams, and run. Parker is to go after it, but Ash stops him.
The Hunt
The crew is uneasy by the fact that Kane's parasitic killer is running loose around the ship. They decides to catch the little bugger. The remaining crew is divided in two: Dallas, Lambert and Ash on one team, and Ripley, Parker and Brett in another team. They are armed with electric rods, an air-density thingy (?!) and nets (!). Ripley don't count on the air-density thing. Anyway. During their search it starts beebing, indicating another living being inside a box. The team opens it up and a small creature darts out of the box. Parker and Ripley throws the net over it and is almost about to kill it when Brett lets it go. When Ripley angrily asks why, he replies "It was just the cat!". Ripley is angry and sends Brett off to find the cat - after all, if they stumbled upon it once more, they would make the same mistake.
Brett walks in between crates and from room to room in search of the cat. He finally finds it in a corner. He calls the cat who comes forward before it stops, paralyzed with fear. It hisses and slowly backs into the corner. Brett can't belive he is the cause of the cat's fear. He straightens up and turns around. The alien is behind him. Brett stares on the alien. It then smacks it's tounge through Brett's head.
The crew gathers. They comes to the conclution that the alien is a huge fucker - far larger than last time they saw it. They agrees that this larger, grown alien is a dangerous threat to them all. They have to solve this problem. They can't use the escape pod - it's made only for two or three. They finds out that the only option they have is to try to scare the alien out of the space ship. The next question: how do you scare something like the alien? Ripley (or Ash) says that most animals are afraid of fire. Dallas says he should go into the air-duct with a gun and a fire-thrower and scare the alien out.
The plan fails - Dallas is killed and the only thing left of him is the flamethrower. Ripley is now in charge. She says they should continue Dallas' plan.
The Slaughter
Ripley goes to Mother for answers and discovers the horrifying truth that she and the other crewmembers were replacable. The numer one priorit has been changed from shipping ore to collect and bring the alien to Earth. Ash knew all about it. He enters Mother without Ripley noticing. When she notices Ash she breaks down and threatens Ash before breaking down sobbing. Ripley runs away from Ash. He catches her and throws her all around one of the living-rooms. Ash is nearly successful in his fruitcake-plan of killing Ripley chocking her with a magazine (!). Parker hears Ripleys half-chocked screams and rescues her by hitting Ash's head off. They then sees that Ash is no person, but an android. Even with the head hitted off, the remains of Ash attachs everything that touches it...
Ripley connects Ash to question him. He won't say anything but that their chances of survival was minimal. Parker fries the remains of Ash. The remaining crew decides to make a try with the escape pod. They divides into two groups: Ripley alone, running towards the escape pod and turn it on. Parker and Lambert ran off to fetch cooling-fluids for the O2-support system in the escape pod. When Ripley is starting the pod up, she hears Jones the cat. She gets back into the mother ship, looking for Jones. She finds him and puts him in a transportbox.
Parker and Lambert is collecting cooling-fluids. They've found a trolley and filled it up with coolin-fluid-containers. They unlodes the trolley once in the escape pod. They then heads back into the cargo-area to get more containers. They've almost gotten a full trolley when suddenly Lambert stops working. She stands paralyzed in front of the alien. Parker can't shoot the alien, since he then would accidently hit Lambert. Parker jumps on the alien. It beats him to the ground before picking him up and killing him.
Ripley hears Parkers and Lamberts cry of fear and hurries to the cargo-area. She finds the corpses of Lambert and Parker but no alien. Ripley heads back to the control-area. She then activites the self-destruct sequence. Ripley then takes the box with Jones the cat and runs towards the escape pod. When she's nearly there, she stops instinctivly and presses herself to the wall. The alien slowly gets around the corner. Ripley drops Jones and runs in panic. Her plan has failed. She has to turn off the self-destruct sequence before the Nostromo would blow up. She is just one second too late. She has to get onboard the escape pod or else she'd die in the self-destructon of the Nostromo. She gets back to where she saw the alien. Jones the cat is still in his box, unharmed. Ripley grabs the box and runs another way towards the escape pod. She throws Jones the cat into the pod, jumps on board, shuts the door and starts the pod. She just barely get far enough away from the exploding Nostomo to survive...
The Escape Pod
Ripley sinks down in the seat, drained of all energy. She is almost comatose when the explosions from the exploding Nostromo shakes the escape pod Narcissus.
She puts Jones into a hypersleep-bed. She then prepares herself for hypersleep. She undresses and makes the final programming when suddenly the alien moves. It crept into the escape pod and fell asleep. Ripley jerks back and squeezes herself to the wall most remote to the alien in fear that she had awakened it. It sleeps tight. Ripley crawls into a space-suit and strapps herself to a seat. She wakes the alien by pouring either cooling fluid or hot steam on it. The alien screams and jumps out from it hiding-place. It lays on the floor, desoriented. Ripley turns her chair, sitting with her back to the alien. When she steals a look to the side, the alien is ready to punch it's tounge through the space-helmet. Ripley screams and pushes the button that openes the outer hatches. The alien is pulled towards space, but gets a grip on the door. Ripley shoots it with a kind of harpoon-gun. It's a projectile connected with the gun by a cord. The alien is pushed out the door and the jerk from the cord jerks the gun out of Ripley's hands. The gun itself gets stuck in the door. The alien tries to crawl into one of the thrusters. Ripley ignites the motors and the alien is toast...
The End
Ripley, the last survivor of the Nostromo makes her final entries in the log before entering hypersleep...
