Reactivating the Past
Disclaimer: continuing from The Pursuit
Date: October 27, 2080
Location: Zeta site
Scott Narrates: As i walked near where the Zeta site laid all i can see was ruins and debris. Not knowing what caused this i reported back to General Covet:
Scott: Sir?
Covet: Go ahead
Scott: The Zeta site sir its......its.......
Covet: What?
Scott: Gone, sir like as if a bomb hit it sir
Covet: What how?
Scott: I dont know sir
Scott Narrates: As i servied my surroundings i saw a Predator's space ship in the distance and again to my ignorance i thought that the Predator's ship cause the Zeta site's destruction:
Scott: Sir
Covet: What now
Scott: I see a Predator ship
Covet: What?
Scott: A Predator ship that what mustve cause the explosion
Covet: Maybe...... but how?
Scott: Maybe new technology they've aquired sir
Covet: Maybe......but whatever the case report back to HQ
Scott: Sir i can follow it a dropship is still in tact sir
Covet: No....i will not have you risk your life like this
Scott: With all due respect sir i must pursue them while the trail is still hot
Covet: No solider thats an order
Scott: I lost my men down here today !
Covet: I understand there life will not go unavenged i asure you.......Now report to HQ
Scott: Yes.....sir
Scott Narrates: As i entered my dropship i heard the item humming and saw it levitating as if it were some type of becon........but to what? As moments later i felt the ground shake and as i hesitate no longer i activated the ship and though with little pilot experience surprisingly i made it out of orbit in one piece. As i set the coordinates for autopilot i decided to examine the mysterious item myself. Still hearing the item in the cargo hold i open the door only to find that the item isnt there, but the strangest thing though for i could still hear that wierd humming. As i approach the point of origin of the sound i hit my head on the item for the item was cloaked. Strange i thought and then out of nowhere i heard the code red alarm:
alarm: Warning hostile ship approaching..........
Scott: What the?
alarm: Warning hostile fire
Scott: Holy shit!
Scott: This is Dropship Zeta to Verloc.......do you copy!!!!
Verloc speaker: Roger Dropship whats your status
Scott: I am taking heavy enemy fire and in need of assistance!!!!
Verloc speaker: Affirmative you are approaching us now
{Scott seeing the Verloc in sight}
Scott: Help!!!!!!
{Verloc firing a blue beam at the Predator ship and the Predator ship is hit badly}
Scott: They're still firing!!!!
{Verloc fires another blue beam and makes another critical hit and the Predator ship pulls back}
Scott: Oh i am gonna be sore tommorrow
Covet: Scott you ok ?
Scott: Yeah but freaked out i am sir
Covet: Why?
Scott: Predators don't do that sir
Covet: What fire out of nowhere
Scott: That and they don't keep on firing when there ship is half destoryed
Covet: New strategy i asume
Scott: Sir you know as well as i do no speices human or predator would do that ,even an Xenomorph will know when to call it quits.
Covet: What are you saying?
Scott: That i think what you have me find is more a value to them then it is to us, now with all due respect i want to know what the hell did i find.
Covet: Its a long story.........when you get in here i will tell you.......this way its more safe.
Scott: Yes sir
Scott Narrates: Little do i know what i am about to hear was the last thing i would hear from general Covet:
Location: General Covet's pirvate quarters
Scott: General
Covet: son what you saw today was...........unexpected
Scott:.........
Covet: What you're about to hear is classified solider
Scott: Yes Sir
Covet: You remember your father Scott
Scott: Why of course sir
Covet: When your father was serving Weyland companies, a rumor was about a mysterious artifact that possessed great power out of the other artifacts we found so far. For this one was the greatest of them all for its not just any artifact its THE ARTIFACT. Now 30 years before your father served here, my father General Rykov was said to have found this artifact. Unfortunately at the time we weren't the only ones after the artifact and we ran into some ............difficulties just keeping the artifact in the Foward Pods so as a result we dropped one of the Pods to ensure that no one finds that artifact. Unfortunately a Xenomorph ran away with it and we never knew about its where about till now for you see the Zeta site is the oldest of the Xenomorph's hives so as we concluded correctly it was where that, that one Xenomorph brought it back to the Zeta site. The rest is all histroy from there.
Scott: So i found the very thing that can destory the Xenomorph and the Predator
Covet: Yes
Scott: Sir....about the Predator ship....why do you think they'll do that
Covet: I don't know............
Scott narrates: As the conversaton was over i went to my quarters and sat down to think of why didn't i listen to my father. As when it was lights out i could barely go to sleep so i decided to walk around and i found myself walking straight into the observation room where my friend Alan was working.....poor girl all work and no play.
Scott: Hey Alan
Alan: Hey, youre up late
Scott: Yeah couldnt sleep...still working on the Artifact
Alan: Yeah
Scott: Well whats the 411
Alan: So far.........Nothing only that its technology is not advance or below ours its just complicated
Scott: Um......
Scott: As i looked over the data with her the artifact started to shake and made a powerful blast that shook the whole ship..............
