Prolog

The man looked across his small ship, the Nocrad. Doing his usual inspections. His boss was the type of person who complained even if there was a microscopic piece of dust out of place. This would lead to many jokes made about his boss like calling him Sir Groucho but to his face they'd call him 'Sir' or they wouldn't verbally acknowledge him, just nod and move on. One of Sir's biggest rules was "Remember I control your standard your standard of living and if you nitwits think I can't make it worse than it already is, think again."

Even if living on a trillion year old ship that had more flaws than the average person could count was your standard of living, Sir would make it worse.

Oz was glad when he saw the every speck of dust was in order. As he started to hit the buttons on the control panel to talk to Sir, an insect-like creature with long misshaped head popped out of nowhere or what appeared to be nowhere.

Oz, being the complete idiot he was, didn't run and scream in terror when he saw the black armored beast creeping on the ceiling above him. It was even creepier than the xenomorphs he had heard about while working as a mechanic on the LV-426. Stupidly Oz tried to think of the name of the woman who had first discovered these creatures, instead of running from the xeno. Ripley was her name, Oz thought clearly showing his lack of intelligence, as the alien gave him a hungry look and crouched to spring.

A voice was heard coming from a small intercom system, "Oz! You better not be ignoring me. Remember what happened with Roswell when he ignored me. Oz! Oz! Do I have to do everything around this joint? Oz! What's happening he-. Did you just turn off your intercom system? That's it. You're fired!"

When Oz finally opened his mouth to scream, the alien leapt from the ceiling on top of him, smashing him to the floor. The man's legs thrashed uselessly as the vicious insect's mandibles removed Oz's head with one decisive bite.

As Oz went down the aliens body, it finally hit him, he should've started running from the alien instead of trying to go through his memory blanks.
