I stood there, confused. He walked over to me and grabbed the baby from my arms. "This was a test of your behavioral qualities. Do you show emotion, care, intelligence? You seem to have all three of those qualities. It is amazing how similar you think like a human." said David.

He placed the baby inside a stroller and an assistant moved it out of the room. He placed his hand on my claws and concentrated hard. "Say something to me." said David.

Um, where am I? I asked telepathically.

"Right now you are in the west wing of the company." he responded.

You can understand me?

"See! My hypothesis was correct, I need to make physical contact before I can understand you telepathically. I believe your brain has to synchronize with mine, and physical contact helps that connection." explained David. "I knew you were an intelligent creature."

David, what is the purpose of this test? Why would you endanger your own kind?

"I'm so glad that baby turned out to be okay. But in actuality, he was never going to get hurt. We do an experiment similar to this with many other aliens, but they all seem to fail this test. The first part of the test was to test how violent you are. The more violent, we deem the less sapient. Most aliens seem to fail this part of the test. They see a foreign creature, like a helpless infant, and most of them don't think twice before they attempt to kill or eat him. When we see an alien show signs of violent behavior during the test, we would quickly shock and disable the alien with the electric collar attached to them. Your electric collar is on your tail." said David as he pointed toward it.

I looked at my tail, and surely enough, there was the collar. How have I not noticed it yet? "Test 2, we tested your intelligence. We would start the countdown for the bomb attached to the cradle in the room. If the alien deducted that there was danger, they would pass the intelligence part. However, if they don't figure it out, we'll just stop the bomb, to ensure the infant's safety, and the test will end right then and there. Test 3 is your reason to care. Most aliens, if they figure out the threat, leave the baby behind and in that case, we also stop the bomb. But this was something new, what you did." said David.

Well, I thought the baby was in danger, so why let a life die when you can save it?

"That is what I am talking about. Showing emotion and care is something only we humans have, and this was the first time an alien specimen had this type of advance thinking. We saw you were trying to help the baby to escape, so we decided to not stop the bomb to make the experience more real. It was a bargain, but I'm glad you made it out without getting hurt."

I didn't exactly escape unharmed. The explosion burned my back as I was running out of the room. I said a little annoyed.

"Well, sorry about that. We should've been more careful." said David.

What about this room? What was with the facehugger?

"This was an extra test. You could call it the icing on the cake to determine how extraordinary you were. Would you go against your own kind to save this human child. The truth was, the facehugger wasn't fertile. It did not have an embryo inside it. So if you did allow it to "face hug" the child, nothing would have happened. But you stopped it anyways. Why?" he asked.

My hive is different from other xenomorph hives. I raised a queen that was genetically altered by, I believe, your company when they crash landed on my home planet. She was just a chestburster, then, and I was able to find her and raise her to become a full grown queen. What is so special is that she lays eggs that have chestbursters instead of facehuggers.

"That is very interesting." commented David as he walked over to my tail and removed the electric collar. "Would you say that other members of your hive are as smart as you are?" he asked. I thought about this for a second. I could communicate with my hive perfectly fine, but maybe they were not as open minded as I was.

I can't really tell you accurately. Everyone in my hive follows my commands, so I wouldn't know how intelligent they will be if they were independent. I don't usually attack foreigners unless they are a threat, and I hope that my drones and warriors also think that way.

"The truth is, I'm a new member of Waylend Yutani Corps. I was hired to be the research manager. I'm learning all about other specimens, and so far, you seem to be different than the rest of them. Heck, you're the only alien I can have a conversation with, which I'm still trying to wrap my head around how this works." said David. "I went through information about you, and found that you were captured and taken here about a month ago. I know you miss your home. I'm here to help you get back."

I was quite shocked to hear him say this. I was never expecting a human to listen to me, let alone help me. Why? I'm just another alien specimen in this company. Doesn't your company value outlying specimens, like me? Why are you willing to let me go?

"Well, it's because you seem to be a very-human like alien, despite your physical appearance. If that is true, then I don't want you suffering in these laboratories. I'm assuming that you also have strong feelings about your hive, and it pains you to be separated from them." said David.

If you are going to help me, may I ask if you know a girl named Alice?

"Alice?" asked David. "Do you mean Alice Alacard? She is the head of the alien research branch of weyland Yutani."

Alice? No, that can't be true. I thought this other man was…

"Remember the day of your outbreak. You killed a man. That man was Roger Alacard, the previous head. He was killed by you. Then, logically, his only heir, his grand daughter Alice Alacard took the seat and she is now overseeing all of the facility of alien research."

If Alice is in charge, why wouldn't she come and see me?

"Do you know Alice?" asked David. I explained to him our story, starting from the events that unfolded a decade ago, about how I rescued Alice from the scuffle with the previous hive on my planet. I told David about how I murdered her grandpa in front of Alice. However, I informed him about Roger Alacards intentions.

"Wow. You really care about this girl don't you?" asked David. "She was able to communicate with you, right? Did you tell her why?"

I couldn't, then. I wasn't in reach. I needed to make physical contact, but she ran away. I pains me to not know how she is feeling and what she thinks of me. I just want to see her one last time. I want to tell her about why I did it.

"Roger Alacard was a rotten man. By the way you described Alice, I don't think she would run this facility and abuse the aliens." assured David. "Here, let's get moving. There are large space pods in the South Wing of the company that is meant to transport large alien beings, like you. I will list in the coordinates and send you home."

David walked out into the hallway and pulled a lever. All the walls opened up to reveal the network of hallways that wasn't present before. "Freeze!" shouted a bunch of men in uniforms as they ambushed the two of us when the walls came down. They had guns and they were all pointed at David.

David raised his hands. "Hey! I'm research manager. I have permission to transfer aliens from different areas of the building." said David.

"Miss Alacard has been observing your actions, David. They saw how close you were getting to…. this thing behind you." said one of the men. "You might have thought you were alone in that room, but we were listening in to what you were saying to the alien. That thing is quite special, being that it could communicate with a human. Miss Alacard will not allow that specimen to escape the lab. That is why we have to stop you!"

"RUN!" said David as he threw something in the air. It was a smoke ball and it exploded, leaving the hallways filled with smoke. The men began shooting rapidly, and David was in danger. Despite the smoke, it didn't affect my vision. I quickly dove forward, blocking the bullets aimed at David easily with my hard exoskeleton. The men were completely disorientated by the smoke and I swiftly used me tail and knocked all of the men off their feet and hitting the ground.

As the smoke cleared, David was relieved to see that he didn't get a single bullet wound. He looked up and saw that I had protected him. "Why didn't you leave? You could've been hurt." shouted David. Ignoring his shout, I motioned him to climb on my back. He would only slow me down if I had to run at his pace.

He climbed on me and I said, David, you are going to help me escape. Why shouldn't I return the favor. You risked your title in the company to do so.

David let out a sigh. "Well, thank you for saving me." he said as I charged down the hallway. More men popped up in front of me, but most of them did not stand their ground as they jumped out of the way of my path.

David, do you know the way to the space pod?

"Yes. Make a right turn at the end of this hallway and we will be in a large white room. Continue through that room and the space pods should be located in that long hallway." said David. I realized that there was a door closing, cutting off the pathway to the large room. I sped up, but I wasn't going to make it before the door closed.

David, brace yourself. I warned him.

I felt his hands hold on tighter to my dorsal tubes as I used all my strength and smashed into the closing wall. It gave away and I blasted through, the depree flying everywhere. I continued into the large white room, but the door to the next hallway was closed. Doesn't matter. I could ram it again. I collided into the door, but this door did not break. I tried clawing it put the door was very sturdy.

"Oh, no! It's a trap!" said David as I turned around and saw that a door closed the pathway from where I entered the large white room.

What is this place?! I asked.

David looked around the room. "This isn't good. We are in the fighting arena. Where aliens of different species are pinned against each other." said David. This room was just like that room I fought specimen 14 in. It was just as large and the ceiling was really high up. My eyes turned toward the side walls where I saw a bunch of scientists that were standing on a tall platform out of reach. The scientists were surrounding a woman in a dark, gray uniform. That woman was Alice.
