Troy stepped out of the landing craft and looked around. Several other landers were speeding out across the sky heading to wherever the pilot thought would be a good place to start a settlement. Every settler group came equipped with everything they needed to survive, agricultural equipment, livestock, materials for biulding, and of course weapons. The ship itself would act as a generator.
As troys eyes scanned over all the people exiting the ship he realized just how many people were counting on him to keep them safe. Each lander held a compliment of 25 colonists along with two guards, with this thought Troy realized something he had overlooked before. He called out to one of the colonists taking roll, Alex was his name. "Hey Alex, have you seen the other guard, I think his name was Nathan."
...
... Nathan's eyes slowly fluttered open, he tried to rub the sleep out of his eyes but found his arms bound by something. A quick check of his body told him that the rest of him was also restrained. Crap, he thought, how am I gonna get out of this mess? He opened his eyes and peered around, at first he thought his eyes had not adjusted but he soon came to realize that the room was black. Every wall down to the cracks and crevices were covered in a black resinous substance that almost seemed alive. His fears were almost confirmed as a portion of the wall seemed to peel away and move toward him. But it was only his captor, not that that put him at ease in any way.
"So...your finally awake", the Xenomorph said. Nathan flinched, "stop that".
She stepped forward and put her teeth less than an inch from his face, "Stop what?"
"Um, stop talking in my head please", Nathan replied a bit sheepishly.
"You are in no position to make demands", she answered, her teeth still millimeters away from Nathan's face.
"Ok then", Nathan said, calming down, "how about a question, what is your name?"
"So you think you are worthy of my name hmm?", She said turning away. With a start Nathan realized that she was leaving. "We're are you going?", he asked.
"None of your business" she replied as she crawled through a hole in the ceiling "By the way, my name is Xara", her ever fading voice said.
After a few minuets of silence Nathan said, "So... I'm being held captive by a female monster named Xara who may or may not kill me and can speek with her mind, hmpf, either I'm the unluckiest man in the galaxy or I really need to lay off the alcohol." And with that he fainted again.
