The Android and The Mutant 2
Over the last 2 years, Bishop and the crew have carried on with their job. Going to different planets that work with the Weyland Corporation, delivering and receiving supplies when ordered.
There was only one difference that was apparent since 2 years ago.
The crew had taken in an orphan mutant girl named Violet.
Bishop had found her sneaked aboard the ship, cold, hungry, a scratch on her right arm, clutching a tattered old stuffed bear.
Ever since that fateful day, Bishop had watched over Violet like a daughter.
The crew, which consisted of 3 others, were surprisingly lenient with letting her stay.
Each had varying opinions over Violet.
First there was the captain, John.
A tall stocky man with a dark brown beard, a long dusty fedora hat, messy brown hair, who always wore a brown jacket with a ton of patches, dirty pants, and standard Weyland Boots. He sympathized with Violet. Being an orphan himself, he felt bad for Violet, not having parents, and always took the time to talk with her.
Next there was the ships technician, Barbara peedmont, AKA: Babs. A young woman wearing overall jeans, a sweatshirt, goggles over her dark brown hair, which was always in a ponytail. She always jokes around with Violet. The two became like best friends over the last 2 years, always joking with one another.
And finally, the ships security, Brock Murdock. A man with dark skin, a black jersey with a Ghostbusters symbol, (with a cigarette instead of ghost in it), with. black jeans, and brown boots. Violet loved to just hang out with him. He always carried her around the ship on his shoulders when she was bored.
All 4 crew members treated Violet like family.
Especially Bishop.
He kept tabs on her at all times, took out his own funds to get her proper clothing, and even helped fix up her bear.
She slept in Bishops quarters on a smaller bed to the side of the room.
Everything seemed to be going well for little Violet as soon as she met these people.
And then, something even more peculiar happened.
For at that moment, during their last shipment delivery, something had made its
way onto the ship….
Violet was playing with her ball when she found what it was.
As she made her way through the ship, she caught sight of something odd.
She stood in the hallway as it started to inch closer.
Violet pressed the call button that was on the bridges panel, "Guys, there's something on the ship"!
As soon as the message was sent, Bishop, John, Babs and Brock headed down to the bridge and all filed in front of Violet.
The creature that stood before them had a tall rigid head, black leather skin, tube looking things on its back, and a sharp pointed tail.
It was a Xenomorph.
All 4 members of the crew recognized it from the report from God knows how long ago.
They all stared at the creature.
But what happened next, none of them suspected to happen.
The creature knelt down before them and started panting like a happy dog….
No one noticed Violet walk in front of the beast until she started petting it's head gently.
Brock, "I'm not the only one seeing this…. Right?"
John, "I see it. I just can't believe it."
Babs, "I don't know whether to go aw, or scream in terror."
Bishop, "The main take away from this is that THIS Xenomorph is peaceful. And probably the only peaceful one in existence."
Brock, "So, what'll we do with it?"
Babs, "I dunno."
Violet spoke out and asked, "Can we keep it!? I'll watch it, feed it, and take it on walks!"
The crew kept looking back at each other and Violet petting the creature.
They talked amongst themselves for a minute.
Brock, "That's things a frigging Xenomorph!"
John, "One that hasn't attacked us."
Babs, "Yet. But we know what the company says, if we see one, capture it."
Bishop, "It seems to trust Violet though. That means it could protect us if were in danger."
Brock, "Yeh. It's be like having a really dangerous guard dog."
John, "If it stays, we need to keep an eye on it."
Babs, "If it hurts a single hair on Violet, it dies."
Bishop, "That goes without saying."
John, "So we've decided?"
Brock, "Yeh."
Babs, "Yes."
Bishop, "Indeed."
John, "Alright then."
The crew turned back to see Violet still petting the beast.
John finally stated, "Fine, but we all need to keep a close eye on this thing, and figure out how it became so peaceful."
Brock and Babs stated together, "Agreed."
Bishop walked to Violets side and stared at the Xenomorph.
"Well", he said, "It's gonna need a name."
Violet thought for a minute, but came up with a name.
"How about, Xander?"
Bishop, "Hmm, Xander? I like it."
And to someone seeing this randomly, This would have been an odd sight to behold.
A crew with an Android, a mutant child, and a bloodthirsty alien that didn't wanna kill anything, standing together.
And you think you've seen it all….
