"How is the subject doing?"
"He seems to be doing well, heart rate is steady, blood pressure is good but his muscle growth is incredible for being what he is"
"Good, that's good actually, he could be the humanized weapon we've been searching for, and we didn't even need the godforsaken Xenomorphs"
"You're right sir, we wasted so many lives using the Xenomorphs when the answers where right under our noses"
"How long till he'll be old enough to run experiments?"
"I'd say 18 years at the least, any earlier will probably cause unwanted effects to his muscles, nervous system and bone structure and it may even stop growth at an early age."
"Ok doctor, we'll just have to play the waiting game till he's aged enough."
"What should his name or designation be?"
"We'll name him John, John Yutani"
"He'll be an amazing inclusion into our marine corps"
"That he will doctor, for your work you'll be handsomely rewarded with a 3 month holiday to any destination of your choice, walk with me and we'll discuss your desired planet"
"Thanks captain"
-18 Years Later-
"John Yutani reporting for duty Captain!" John nearly shouts as he stands to attention.
"At ease John" The Captain says.
"Thanks Captain" John says sitting on his knees "I'm honoured to have been picked for the new experiments sir"
"I've heard, well John if you're so sure then I won't stop you but you better be ready." The Captain says lowering himself to John's level.
"That I am sir, I am prepared to ev" John was cut off by the sound of an alarm.
"Oh shit!" The Captain yells running towards the door of John's room.
John grabs a pocket knife he keeps on a bedside table and follows the Captain.
"What is it Captain?" John asks.
"John go back to your room!" The Captain yells back at John.
"Captain what is it?" John asks again.
"I SAID BACK TO YOUR ROOM OR YOU'LL BE PUT IN THE S.P.A GOT IT!?" The Captain yells back.
"Y-Yes Captain" John says stopping on a dime and turns round and jogs back to his room.
John opens the door to his room and looks around which makes him think for a second.
"In all the 10 years I've been in this room I've never actually took a second to really look around, I just spent most of my time training and never just relaxed" John thought to himself with a chuckle.
John's room was a moderately sized room with white walls, ceiling and carpet making the room look like a room they would keep the insane in, his bed whilst being black with a red blanket and a white pillow, never caught his attention, which was odd considering the color differences. He also had a black beside table, which he grabbed his knife from.
John places the knife back on the bedside table and sighs.
"I want some action already dammit" He says sitting on the edge of his bed.
He hears a soft scraping coming for the air vent above him.
"What the?" John says reaching up and taps the vent.
The vent's latch opens and a tall black creature crawls from the gap.
John grabs his knife and aims it towards the creature.
"Friend or Foe?" John asks preparing for a fight.
The creature just looks at him and turns it's head quizzically.
'It must not understand me' He thinks to himself.
'But I do' He hears a gentle voice seemingly out of nowhere.
"Y-You understood me?" He asks grabing his knife hard enough that his knuckles start turning white.
'Yes, but you asked a weird question' The creature replies.
"What's so weird about it? I don't know if you're friendly or not" John replies.
'I am friend to those who are a friend to me' The creature replies.
"Okay then" John replies putting his knife in his pocket, out of sight but still in reach if the creature tries something.
This creature should of scared John but it didn't, John thought that this creature looked gracious as it moved or for a better word flowed like water on the ground
'Aren't you going to attack me?' The creature asks confused.
"No why?" John asks.
'Humans fear us because we are... Human say... Ugly? I think the word is' The creature seems to play with the ground with it's left arm.
"Ugly? Nah I think you're quite beautiful in a way" John said rubbing his chin "Yeah quite beautiful"
The creatures cheeks star to turn green as he mentions this.
'Thank you human, you're attractive for a human' The creature says.
"My names John" John says holding out his right hand.
The creature backs away scared.
"What's wrong?" John asks.
'Please no, don't hit me' She cries out as if she's actually crying in fear.
John doesn't see any tears but he can still tell that she's crying.
"Why would I hit you?" John asks.
'Humans hit me and cut my skin for... Humans say experiments' The creature says still fearful.
"That's not right" John mumbles.
'Please don't hit me, I'll be good I promise' she says curling into a small ball.
"I promise I won't hit you" John says slowly walking towards the creature.
'R-Really? Human won't hit me?' The creature asks uncurling a little.
"Yeah I promise" he says putting his arms around the creature and pulling it into a hug.
'W-What is human doing?' The creature asks scared.
"Hugging you to make you feel better" John replies.
'H-Hugging me? Is this human torture?' The creature asks.
"No, just hug me back and you'll see" John replies.
The creature slowly and carefully brings it's arms and tail upwards and wraps it around John and instantly sees what he means.
'It feels nice, calming' The creature seems to whisper.
They sit in the cuddle until they both fall asleep.
