The Company wanted the ultimate weapon. And they got just that; a fierce killer. The only problem was that the weapon couldn't tell the difference between enemy and friend. It killed everything and everyone on sight. The Ellen Ripley clone that was the cause of the creation of the weapon was supposed to help the Company destroy the weapon. The clone was successful in destroying the weapon but couldn't be allowed to live because of all the knowledge it had. So the Company had it destroyed. All other traces of the weapon were wiped from computers and data.
Except for three eggs.
A Company worker walked down the long white hallway staring at the clipboard in his hand. He passed a long window made of thick glass. He seemed to have seen something out of the corner of his eye because he suddenly did a double take and went back to look into the window. There was a room on the other side of the glass and inside the room were three large leathery eggs. The tops of all the eggs were blossomed open, revealing empty space. The worker hurried over to one side of the wall and pulled down a red handle. A loud wailing started while bright lights flashed up and down the hall. The sound of running footsteps could be heard and the hall was soon filled with white clothed men.
"What happened?" one of the men asked, "Who set off the alarm?"
"I did General," the worker said. All eyes in the room turned toward him.
The General asked in a hard tone, "Why?"
The worker just pointed to the long glass window. The General walked up to the window and stood there, staring into the room; his face an expressionless mask. He turned to one of the men standing by his side and said, "Search for them. But keep this a secret from the town."
General Williams paced his office, waiting for news about the escaped specimen. An officer came in and saluted. General Williams nodded and the man spoke, "We found one of the escapees dead but the other two are still missing. And we also found a dead body of a cat that had its stomach ripped open from the inside."
General Williams furrowed his brow and said, "Thank you Sergeant, you can go now."
The Sergeant saluted again and walked out the door. As soon as he left the General sat down and placed his head in his hands. If those things reach the town, this could be a disaster, he thought grimly.
