Chapter 5
The Crystal Queen
Tom came up to the blast door of the Crystal Queen room and quickly entered the
Password into the Panel on the Wall. The door started to lift, Tom crouched under the
door and shut it on the other side.
"Hoaman!" Someone said.
"Yes?" Tom asked.
"The Hat?" the voice asked.
"Another Project. Not bugging you is it? Tom asked.
The man walked forward towards Tom, "no. Now on to the Project."
Tom followed the man into the centre of the room towards a gigantic Computer.
Several men and women where gathered around the Computer, typing away, cantering statistics and writing on Note boards, Tom walked over to the Computer and
looked on the screens. There where...
"Hoaman, I am Doctor Gerid Yutaner, Head Scientist in the project," Yutaner, was
Chinese and at least thirty-five with Black hair, "I take it you know what we do
here?"
"Sure do. There is a special and rare type of Warrior called the Crystal Queen. The
Crystal Queen was the first Xenomorph encountered on the Nostromo," Tom told
Yutaner.
"And what is so special about it?" Yutaner questioned.
"The fluid in the Tail can transform a Host into an Egg. A Queen Egg to be exact,"
Tom continued, " And there is about two Crystal Queen Eggs laid in one Queens
Life."
"That is right and what happens to Crystal Queen once in has made the Egg and
gotten a Host?" Yutaner kept questioning Tom as if he was a child.
"It dies!" Tom snapped. Getting annoyed, "now can we please get on with it?"
Moving to the Right-hand side of the Room towards another Xenomorph pen,
inside where three Warriors.
"What are you doing?" Tom asked.
"We know two of them are Crystal Queens but we are trying to figure out how to
tell the difference," Yutaner explained.
"How would you be able to do that?" Tom asked as one of the Warriors went had
a sort of spasm.
"Like that," Yutaner explained, " The Crystal Queen Hugger do the same once
they are out of the Egg!"
After hours of work with Yutaner Tom left to go home. He kept the copper
hat on.

"Hiss'juani, is the exit secure?" Siljuni'sa asked.
"Yes my Queen it is. Can you please send the Warriors from the Hives to hold the
exit," Hiss'juani requested.
"I will send them and I would like you to go after the Humans that escaped. They
will warn the others!" Siljuni'sa told him.
"I will need some other Warriors and that special Machine you made," stated
Hiss'juani.
" You may take the five Warriors I have sent to you," as soon as Hiss'juani
heard the word, five Xenomorph Warriors stepped up to him, " you know which cave
the Machine is in and you know how to use it!"
Hiss'juani and the five Warriors set off as fast as they could towards a cliff.
Hiss'juani knew it would take the Soft-Skin a few hours before they could reach their
Base and that they wouldn't be able to contact it because Tom'hha had broken
their Internal.
Within ten minutes Hiss'juani and the others had reached the cliff and were
searching caves. One of the Warriors yelled, "I have found it!" and the entire group
headed in the direction of the voice.
Suddenly the six of them came out of the cave dragging a Metal Machine of some
sort. Siljuni'sa had once-through the help of Oldsa'ik-accessed the mind of a
Technician and read all his knowledge of Wires and Electricity- and with parts of the
ruining Observation Station posted outside the Hive Entrance to build a flying
Machine. It mainly just glided but it still had its purpose.
The Machine had enough seats to house all the Xenomorphs present. They all sat
down upon the seats and put the straps across their shoulders. On the Armrest of
Hiss'juani's seat was a set of buttons. He tapped a combination of button and the
Machine started to shake. It suddenly shot forward of the cliff.
Hiss'juani pressed another button and a Joystick came out of his Armrest and he
took the Stick. He turned to stick in the direction of the Valley in which the escaping
Soft-Skins where headed. He pressed another button and the Machine accelerated to
Mac 3. At that speed, the Xenomorphs would reach the APC in five minutes.
It didn't matter how fast the Xenomorphs where travelling they had amazing
eyesight. Hiss'juani saw the grey box that was the APC and slowed down. He aimed
the Machine in front of the APC and just as it was about to crash all seven
Xenomorphs jumped out. The Machine crashed in front of the APC and the driver
tried to avoid it by swerving by instead the APC rolled over onto it's roof.
The door slid open and Sergeant Mee stepped out.
"Come on we need to roll the APC back over!" Mee ordered.
One after another the Marines walked out of the APC. All except Mee without their
Weapons.
Then the attack began! One after another the Xenomorphs pounced at the Marines
like Missiles launched out of a Launcher. One after another the Warriors ripped them
apart. Mee however was fighting back. He had torn down three Xeno's already. He
was down to three Marines left when he shot down another Warrior.
Hiss'juani took down his remaining Marines and then stopped and looked at Mee.
Mee looked back. The Sergeant dropped his Pulse Rifle and drew out a metal blade.
Somehow Hiss'juani understood what the Sergeant wanted and took up a
hand-to-hand pose, and the Sergeant did the same.
Mee made the first move, a stab to Hiss'juani's throat. Hiss'juani responded by
trying to impale Mee, but Mee ducked and rolled to the side. Mee jumped up with a
spinning kick to the Chest. This knocked Hiss'juani down. Me gave him another kick
in the face and Hiss'juani flew into a near by rock. Mee charged at Hiss'juani, then
stopped abruptly.
Mee looked down at his chest to see he was impaled. The tail slid out and Mee
walked over to Hiss'juani. He withdrew his Pistol from it holster and lay down on his
back. Mee beckoned Hiss'juani towards him and point to his head. Mee put his hands
over his chest in a cross, Knife in one hand, Pistol in another.
Hiss'juani looked down at the dying Human and got ready for a Head-Bite. This
Human had fought well. Hiss'juani's jaw open. At the Speed of Light his Inner Jaw
shot out and into the Humans Head.
"Siljuni'sa. All the Soft-Skins have been exterminated," Hiss'juani told his Queen.
"Well done. Is the Machine working?" Siljuni'sa asked.
"No! We will have to walk in back," Hiss'juani exclaimed.
***
Oldisa'ik was sitting in her Pen going over her plan. When she had taken control of
the Human Technician she had learned a great deal of the Human Society and many of
the Mating Pair within the Colony.
Oldisa'ik would however be free in a while because the Technician was going to
turn of the Power.
The Mother Queen was brought out of her Daydream when she heard a hiss and
saw two Humans on the other side of her window. It was Joanna Carter and Ben Jillu.
They fell into a passionate kiss and started to tear of each other clothes.
Oldisa'ik was trying to remember whether these two were a mating pair. No they
weren't. Oldisa'ik knew this was bad in the Human Society and another plan formed
in her mind. The real mating partner of the female was in an experiment with Oldisa'ik
and she knew how he could get her on the Xenomorph's side instead of the weak
Technician.
A grin appeared on her face as Oldisa'ik watched the two tangled human bodies. As it had been said in a film she had seen through the technician, it
was PAYBACK TIME!
