Aliens: The Other Survivor 2: Race Against Time
Prolouge: The Sulaco's Decision
The Sulaco drifted through space, course set for Earth. She drifted in silence.
Inside the sulaco, at the Hibernacula, the 7 passengers were sound asleep, all waiting to reach their destination. However, aboard the ship, another threat loomed in the darkness.
The threat was a Face-hugger, and it was driven by the need to procreate. It crawled into the Hibernacula, and made its way onto Jake's Cryo-tube. It was trying to attach itself to Jake, blind to the glass separating it.
As it tried to implant itself to Jake, it found a crack in the seal. Slipping it's tail to try to pry it open, it instead shattered the glass.
However, quicker than the face-hugger's reaction, the pod's backup cover came over before anything bad could happen to it's occupant. However, the shattered glass from the first seal had managed to impale the face-hugger, causing it to bleed it's acid blood.
Slowly and surely, the blood corroded through the floor, and through the worst possible tubes. It ate it's way into a gas line, creating a fire in the hibernation chamber.
The onboard computer to the Sulaco quickly reacted. "Danger. Danger. Fire in the hibernacula. Danger. Danger."
Reacting quickly, it began to slip the cryotubes into an escape chamber, moving them all into the escape ships, occupied or not.
The 7 occupied ones were brought onto the same boat, which quickly ejected from the ship.
However, it had only a limited fuel supply, and had been granted with a rather limited onboard computer.
This one quickly searched for inhabited systems, looking for a nearby place to bring it's precious cargo. When it had found one, the choice was one that would rather be skipped over. Yet to the computer, an inhabited system is an inhabited system, and quickly set it's course for Fiorana (Fury) 161.
It sped off to the system, unaware of the unwanted passenger in the air-scrubbers.
