ALIEN VS PREDATOR: TRESPASSER
CHAPTER 2

The next morning Dan awoke, rising from his bed and stretching his arms. For once he slept a sound sleep without any recollection of dreams or nightmares of any kind. He's been having the same kind of nightmare, being chased by something unknown, some kind of monster or alien. This last night's sleep was different, uneventful, quiet, calm. He just shook his head and walked to the small bathroom. After doing the normal morning hygiene routine, he put on his company suit which he received for free after getting the job as a Weyland-Yutani Zoning Investigator.

He looked up at the clock and realized it was almost noon, he was almost late for the briefing! He left his quarters and power walked down the corridors to the elevator. He took it down to the hangar. As the doors slid to the sides, he noticed 5 scientists, 5 terraformers, and 10 marines standing with Mr. Szeweki looking at his watch. "Another 12 seconds and we'd have left without you!" yelled Szeweki as Dan jogged to the rest of the group, replying "Sorry sir, won't happen again."

"Alright listen up. We have a new zone to clear. We just discovered this rock, and our scans indicate it's rich in varying types of rock. This place could prove very valuable to us. We're going down to survey a small clearing which we intend to set up an AP. You will set up camp and report your findings to us upon completion. We will give you further instructions upon completion of this objective." explained Szeweki,

"You mean to tell me we're just going on a reconnaissance mission, sir?" asked Pvt. Dudley,

"Yes, Dudley, that's what I'm saying, and hopefully it'll be nothing more." replied Szeweki,

"Actually this could be real fun! That's the beauty of this whole thing, we could fall in with some fine pussy" joked Sgt. Kraken,

"Or we could fall in with much worse..." mumbled Pvt. Bilford,

"Shut it, we already know about that, but we already know this is just gonna be a standard mission and we're not to interact with any of the life down their or kill anything." replied Kraken,

"That's correct. Anything found will be left alone until we can build the appropriate laboratories and outfit it with the proper personnel. You are ONLY to investigate the designed area and report any and all findings. That is all. Good day gentlemen, and good luck." Szeweki ended the briefing, walking to the elevator and taking it up to the bridge.

Everyone carried on their own conversations as an APC was driven to the loading platform. "Alright men we have work to do! Let's go!" yelled Sgt. Kraken, jogging to the APC with the group behind, the marines carrying their weapons, the scientists and terraformers carrying and wearing their equipment, and Dan holding his camera. They all got on board and secured their harnesses. The APC pulled onto the loading ramp of the Drop Ship suspended above the bay doors. "Alright guys, this could get a little bumpy so you first timers don't fear anything, it'll be bumpy" said Kraken with a grin."

Dan had a bad feeling about all of this.
