Chapter 6
Two Betrayals

The Technician slowly made his way down the corridor, unaware of what he was
doing. He turned a corner and then came to Tom Hoaman's Quarters. The door slid
open and the Tech stepped in. He silently walked up to the slumbering Tom and took
off Tom's Copper Hat.
     "Human Hoaman!" a voice spoke serenely into Tom's mind.
     Tom sat upright and looked around to see the Tech, "who said that?"
     "I did Human!" the voice said, " I am Oldisa'ik, the Mother Queen. You may know
me as Specimen 0001!"
     Tom knew who that was. It was the Queen from the Xenomorph Intelligence Project.
     "What do you want?" Tom asked aloud.
     "Not that it means anything to me, I though you might like to see this," Oldisa'ik
hissed into Tom's Mind.
     The image of Joanna and another Man flashed through Tom Eyes. He saw them
strip and start kissing each other. He then saw them tangled together. A look of Horror
surged onto Tom's face.
     "I believe that is your Mate!" Oldisa'ik stated.
     "How could she? I will get back at her! She promised she didn't like anyone else!"
Tom said stunned.
      Oldisa'ik implanted the idea that would help her into Tom's mind.
      "I want her and him to feel unbearable pain! Oldisa'ik if I took off the Security
System and let your Kind in will you allow me to give you two new hosts? Without
you killing me?" Tom asked.
      The Plan was now working, "I will tell all of my Kind to leave you alone!"
     Tom got up and walked out, the Tech at his heels. He took a left then a right. On
Tom's way to the Power Office, Oldisa'ik was planting suicide ideas in his head and
the idea to kill all Humans he saw. Tom had a weak mind and was very gullible.
     He was up to the Power Office and entered a code into a panel on the wall. The
door slid open and Tom was greeted by a cheery Tech, " hello Mr Hoaman. Mr Chen."
he said nodding towards the other Tech.
Tom and Mr Chen just stepped towards the other Tech. Tom elbowed him in
the Face and he fall to the floor unconscious. Tom sat down at a console and started to
type.
     Warning! The Power Supply is about to be taken off line, in doing so the
Containment Measures for the Xenomorph Pens will be disabled. Are you sure you
wish to proceed? The message flashed across the Computer screen. Tom clicked on
yes!
      "Warning all personnel! The Power has been shut off!" a voice boomed across the
Colony!
     Tom quickly grabbed the Pulse Rifle propped against a nearby wall and shot the
Computer. That Computer was the Main Power Console so now the Power could no
longer be restored.
     "Oldisa'ik the Power has been disabled," Tom told the Queen, " I am now going to
get the two Lovers. You have told the Xenos not to kill me?"
    "Yes Human Hoaman I have!"
    Oldisa'ik ideas flashed through Tom's find and he turned and shot Mr Chen!
    Tom then stormed out of the room and out into the corridor. He turned to meet the
puzzled gaze of a marine.
    "What the hell have you don...?" He was cut off by Tom shooting him with the Pulse
Rifle.
    Proceeding towards his quarters with a suicidal attitude, Tom met further Marines and
Technicians but killed them all.
    Tom stepped into his Quarters and turned towards Joanna's room door. He tried
opening it but it was locked. Tom cocked the Rifle and shot a Grenade at the Door.
The door burst open and Tom stepped through.
    Lying there on Joanna's Bed where Joanna and Ben. Joanna jumped up in surprise
and horror.
    "TOM! I am so sorry!"
   "Didn't you hear the Alarm?" but the Alarm sounded again and Tom only heard it
through the broken door. "YOU TWO COME WITH ME!"
   "Please let us get changed," pleaded Joanna.
   "NO NOW! OUT OF THE DOOR!" Tom bellowed, " Great Queen where do you
wish me to take them?"
   " I would like you to take them to my Pen please, and then you can stay in my Hive
to see theirs death!" Oldisa'ik told tom's mind.
   "OUT NOW!" Tom shouted, his voice full of anger.
   Joanna grabbed the bed cover and wrapped it around her and Ben grabbed his
Trousers and put them on. Tom jabbed the Rifle into Bens back and they stepped out
of the room into the Corridor.
   "FORWARD!" Tom ordered.
   The three of them moved forward and towards Oldisa'ik's Pen. A Marine came
around the corner and Tom opened fire. While Tom was distracted Ben made a move.
Ben kicked Tom into the stomach but was stopped by a strong arm. Tom stood there
before a Xenomorph.
   "Crap the Bugs are lose!" a Marine shouted. Soon after the Marine yelled Gunshots
followed.
   "Go Drone go protect your friends," Tom told the Drone, " AND YOU GET UP
AND INTO THAT ROOM!"
    Tom pointed to a Blast Door at the side of him! The Door slid open and the three
and them walked in.
Oldisa'ik was standing in the middle of the room surrounded by Warriors. Tom got
down on his knees and bowed.
    "Oldisa'ik. I have realised your kind now please got me the favour of infecting
these traitors!" Tom asked of the Queen.
    "Of course Human Hoaman!" Oldisa'ik nodded toward two Warriors and they
disappeared into Oldisa'ik's Pen. They returned hold Eggs and put them in front of
Joanna and Ben.
     Ben and Joanna started to quiver as the flaps of the Eggs opened. A swelching
noise came from the Eggs as the Hand-like creatures stepped onto the rim of the Eggs.
Then they leapt. The sound of two muffled screams flew into Tom's ears.
    "Thank you my Queen!" Tom bowed again then he stood up straight, then fell to
the floor.....
