ALIEN VS PREDATOR: TRESPASSER
****************************************CHAPTER 1**********************************************

He ran as fast as he could. It was dark and his maglight was long gone. Its batteries died so he had no choice but to drop it. He couldn't see six feet ahead of him, all he knew was he was where he was: the canyons in the middle of nowhere. What he saw were rocks and the ground ahead of him. What he heard were the roars of gigantic insects behind him. He knew he was dead and there was nothing he could possibly do about it.

He ran as fast as he possibly could, losing his breath as he went. A large rock caught his foot, pulling him down. His foot had gotten caught between two rocks. He looked back and saw a giant spider coming closer to him, creeping slowly. It stood above him and slowly inched toward his back, then with a sharp prick he fell unconscious. Instantly he fell into death as the razor-sharp teeth which had to be at least six inches long tore through his spine and pulled back, ripping out his innerds.

Then he woke up. The meeting was over and there was nobody seated at the long table. He stood from his chair and walked over to the bathroom. The door slid horizontally behind him as he stepped into the bathroom. He placed his hands into the sink which triggered the motion sensor, causing lukewarm water to flow out of the faucet. He cupped his hands, filling them with water, then quickly splashed it onto his face. He repeated this action a few times, then left. He exitted the meeting room, entering the main corridor.

"Hey Dan!" called a man with a familiar voice from across the hall. He looked toward the origin of the sound, spotting his best friend. "Hey! How ya doin' buddy?" replied Dan with a hint of happiness in his voice. He was glad his friend happened to be in the area, he needed something to take his mind off the dream he just had. "How've things been? Were you at the meeting?" asked Dan, "Alright, I was told I'm coming with you to LV-1201. I was at the meeting," replied Randy "although you weren't." he added jokingly. "Wait, you're coming with me?" asked Dan. As Randy began to reply, an announcement was made over the PA system. "Employee number 3894431-D, Randy Terry, report to the main office immediately. Repeat, employee number.." was heard, being interrupted by Randy who continued to talk "As I was going to say. Yes I am going, I have to bring back anything unusual like specimens and such." Acknowledging, Dan nodded his head once, then walked off through the main corridor towards the east wing, where his room quarters was located.

It was a short trip down to the east wing, once he was there he made his way to his quarters. Standing before the door, he reached into the right pocket of his jeans and pulled out his ID card. He inserted it into the locking mechanism and punched in the digits 5664, which was followed by a beep granting him access to his room. The door pulled up vertically before he entered his room. He looked over at the video phone seeing the number 3 blinking on the call counter. He walked over to it and placed his ID card into the slot, displaying the first message on the screen. The screen lit up as a young woman looking to be in her mid 20's appeared on the screen. "Hey babe, where are you? Sorry about yesterday, it's just that I miss you so much and I can't wait to see you again. So what's up? You goin' to that other planet alone or can I come with? Well, I kinda have to go to work now. Call me back, love you so much." Dan just looked down at his ring. He missed her, he hasn't seen her in almost a year. Fortunately they were keeping in touch, but he still longs to see her.

He hit the Next button, displaying the next message. His boss came on screen. "Mr. Vicci, we are sending you down to LV-1201 with a group of terrafarmers and some colonial marines. We've been getting readings of life down there. We don't know what yet, but just in case we're sending in some extra help. We're also sending down some scientists. Oh, and next time, don't fall asleep during our meetings. It'll be your ass on the streets if you keep doing it." He just deleted that message and went to the next one. It was Randy on the screen this time. "Hey! We're having a party at --" before the message was finished, Dan pulled out his card. He dropped back onto the bed and closed his eyes. He was tired all day, so he figured he should get some rest. He was going to be leaving the next day so he decided to rest early. After a brief amount of time, he fell asleep.
