Chapter 1

The year is 2132, and it has been 10 years since the incident on the Nostromo. No survivors have been found, and the ship has been completely obliterated. However, after the occasional memorial and closing of the case, life goes on. However, a rival company would soon make the same, horrifying discovery that the workers of Weyland-Yutani did. And when that happens, only God can save them from the storm to come…

…

The space station Hercules sat in space, looming over a green and blue planet that was like earth. To some, the station could have been a large castle or impenetrable fortress. However, on the inside of this station were several different occupants going about their daily jobs.

Inside one of these rooms, several men and women clad in business suits were gathered around a table. Some were chatting and discussing what the meeting could be about, while others were reviewing and reading their notes.

Suddenly, the doors at the end of the table opened, and a woman appeared. Everybody hushed upon sight of her as she entered the room, followed by two men wearing suits and sunglasses. The woman walked into the room and to the head of the table, standing in front of a large computer that was integrated into the wall behind her. The two men wearing suits stood beside her, one on each side.

This woman was tall, and her skin was somewhat pale. She had light blonde hair, blue eyes, and a thin figure. Aside from her makeup, she wore a pair of glasses, a black pantsuit, and black high heels. This was Victoria Frost, the CEO of Frost Industries. Frost Industries was a rival company, second place to the ever popular Weyland-Yutani corporation. And just like Weyland-Yutani, there were always looking for a business opportunity, and they didn't care who dies in the process; As long as they got their cash, they would be fine.

Victoria had taken over the company after her father, Albert Frost, had sadly passed away. Because of this, she developed a cold personality, and one of no-nonsense. This is the reason why when she entered the room, the other businessmen and women grew quiet.

"Ladies and Gentlemen…" said Victoria Frost. "I have brought you here to discuss a new business venture that I have developed. A business that is sure to be the end to all of Frost Industries' problems." The people listened intently as she continued. "As you well know, we have discovered LV-414, which is planet similar in atmosphere to earth. The planet also had wide open spaces, several jungles, and even an ocean."

"So, this is a resource gathering plan?" asked one businessman, an older gentleman with fading hair and a cigarette in his mouth. "We've had that before on LV-300 and it failed."

"As I was saying…" Victoria replied, a small, angry growl in her voice that caused the businessman to pull back in fear. "LV-414 is very much like earth before the dinosaurs were wiped out. However, there seems to be no life on the planet, even though it is hospitable. A team was sent down to the planet to investigate, and they documented their trip with a report, and with photos. Please point your attention to the screen."

The room darkened, and the large computer turned on, its screen illuminating the semi-dark room. On the screen was a picture of the team, which consisted of four men and three women, standing in front of a large cave.

"The report says that the team arrived on the planet in the morning." said Victoria. "After some initial investigation, they found this cave. They went inside, and what they found has left scientists baffled."

Victoria pressed a key on a remote she had with her, and the picture changed. This time, it showed the team looking at what appeared to be large eggs. However, these eggs were far from normal; they were green, leathery looking things. Some people in the room squirmed at the sight of them.

"As you can see on the screen, the team found what appeared to be large eggs." Victoria continued. "They counted over hundreds of them. Then, when one of the team, Julio, approached an egg, it opened, and something jumped out and latched itself onto his face…"

She pressed another key on the remote, and a shocking picture came up. One of the male team members, Julio, was lying on the ground, with several other team members surrounding him. But that wasn't the shocking part; the shocking part was the creature that was on his face! The thing was colored a sickly green, it had eight long legs that looked like fingers, and a long tail that was wrapped around his neck! Some people let out gasps and murmurs of shock, while some people again squirmed uncomfortably in their seats.

Victoria Frost, however, didn't bat an eye to it. "This thing, which has been dubbed a 'Facehugger' by the team, would not come off Julio's face. And when they tried to pull it off, it latched itself on tighter. So, they took him back to ship and put him in the medical bay, where they tried to cut the Facehugger off him. However, the Facehugger was revealed to have acidic blood. Realizing they could do nothing, the team waited. After some hours, the creature unlatched itself off Julio and died. At first, Julio seemed fine, as you can see in this next picture."

Victoria pressed the button again, which showed Julio sitting up and talking to a female team member, as if nothing happened to him.

"Then, he started convulsing and coughing up blood. He fell on the ground and began writing in pain. The team thought he was having a heart attack, but a few seconds later, this happened…"

When the picture came up, a few people screamed, and some let out murmurs of fright! The picture showed Julio on the ground, dead and with a large, gaping, bloody hole in his chest! And emerging from this hole was a creature that looked like a large worm with a mouth of sharp teeth!

"Something exploded out of his chest, killing Julio instantly." Victoria said as she went on. "They contained this strange worm creature and put it in a holding cell. However, a few hours later, it grew into-"

"Let me guess…" said a nervous looking businesswoman. "Something scarier than that?"

Victoria looked at her and nodded. She then turned her head back to the screen and clicked it to the next picture. The next and final picture showed a large, black, metallic looking creature that would put fear into even the strongest of men.

"This creature, we have classified as an Xenomorph, was the final product. After the crew returned to base, an extraction team came and took the alien from the holding cell. However, the creature got loose and had to be put down. But not to worry; there are plenty more eggs on LV-414 to collect. And now comes my idea for a new business venture."

"Why don't we just sell the eggs to Weyland-Yutani?" asked the nervous businesswoman. "I'm pretty sure they would pay a whole lot of money for them."

"Are you kidding?!" asked a businessman. "We should do what they're doing; make them into weapons and sell them on the highest market!"

A full-blown argument then emerged, some voting to sell the eggs, while other voting to turn them into weapons. They continued arguing for a few seconds, and then stopped when they heard what sounded like a blaring air raid siren.

Victoria then pressed a button on the table and the sirens stopped. She then sat down in her chair, put her hands together in pure creepy fashion, and said, "I have a better idea on what to do with these… creatures…"
