Chapter 1

After that incident, Terrace wanted to leave the company. He never wanted to have something that terrible happen again. Terrace no longer trusted Weyland Yutani to be safe enough for him to remain as a worker there. He thought that the company would understand why he wished to leave, especially considering the fact that he was almost killed by one of the xenomorphs. He was wrong.

Weyland Yutani refused to allow him to leave. They stated clearly that there would be no more containment breaches and that nothing would happen like before. But Terrace couldn't trust them. They then tried to tell him that he was too important for them to lose and that his work could help them advance on the studying of the xenomorphs. It was another lie, there were dozens of people who worked at the same job as him; he was nothing special. That was all just ways that Weyland Yutani could keep him as their employee. But Terrace wouldn't stay put.

He eventually told the manager about what happened to him on that day. No details were left out, he wanted the manager to know how horrible what he witnessed was. The manager stayed silent throughout the story and waited until he finished. He didn't say anything for a while before finally telling Terrace that he would see what he could do. Terrace felt relieved. Not all of the employees were heartless.

Terrace waited patiently for several days, hoping that one day, a manager would come to him to tell him that he could go. There was no way they could deny him after what he had gone through. At least, that's what he thought.

One day, when he was walking back from his work, he was stopped by a Weyland manager. He thought he knew what was coming next; the manager would tell him that he was free to leave the facilities and return to his family. The manager lead him away and into a small office and had him sit down. He then looked right at Terrace and told him simply that he could not leave. Before Terrace could protest, the manager pulled something up on one of the consoles. It was a picture of Terrace's family. Terrace could never forget what the manager said when he asked him how he got that picture.

"That doesn't matter. What does matter is that Weyland Yutani now have the identities of all of your family. The company is afraid to say that they will be making sure all of their employees stay loyal. In order to do that, they have to get a sort of "protection" if you will from their employees betraying them. Just know, if you decide to leave the company, some not so nice people will get the identities of your family and their location."

Terrace understood. The company was threatening to kill his family if he left the company. He said nothing and left the room. It was terrifying but he knew he couldn't fight against it. The company was just too powerful to even bother fighting against. So he was stuck working for Weyland Yutani and would probably have to keep working for them until he died.

Terrace found himself completing tasks mindlessly. His thoughts were either of two things, hatred of Weyland Yutani for forcing him into a terrible agreement, or fear of his family getting murdered. It was very emotionally draining to know that at any moment, his family could be killed and he would have no idea.

The company must have known about his disdain for them because they sent him into an even more dangerous position to show how strong they were. Terrace would now go into the holding area for the queen of the xenomorphs and gather the eggs that she laid. It was a terrible job for him; the queen always seemed to look down at him when he entered and it would always remind him of the moment when the xenomorph was about to kill him. Several times, Terrace even thought of just killing himself so he wouldn't have to deal with the same terrible reminder of what happened every day. However, he couldn't trust Weyland Yutani to not just kill his family, even if he was dead. No, he had to keep working even if it destroyed him so that his family was safe.

One day in particular, he was walking into the holding area alone. Usually, he had other people along with him but for some reason, today there were no others. He didn't pay it any mind and slowly walked into the area, wearing a protective suit so that the eggs could not sense his presence. If they could, the egg would open and a small strange creature would jump out to cover his face and insert a parasite to live in his chest until it got mature enough to burst out. This small parasite would quickly grow to be a xenomorph and would be free to attack and kill anyone in the facility. Terrace never wanted another thing like that to happen.

As he carried his box that was used to collect the egg out to the underbelly of the queen where the eggs were laid, the queen turned and looked at him. Terrace would have expected this except for the fact that she had just now looked at him. Usually, the queen would look at the people coming to collect her eggs immediately and hiss and screech as her eggs were taken from her to be used as tests for humans. This time however, she seemed more calm and didn't make a sound as Terrace continued to approach the eggs. He wanted to be done with this quickly so he grabbed his box and put the egg within it and started to walk away.

As he was walking, some strange phenomenon occurred. It felt like Terrace's hearing went out because there was no more sound from the room that usually had plenty of sounds of machinery holding the queen. All he could hear was his own breathing and the heavy breathing of the queen behind him. He turned around to look at the queen, even though he didn't want to at all. The queen moved her head down and suddenly, Terrace's head erupted with pain. It felt like someone was stabbing him in the head with a knife. He fell forward, gripping at his head. His eyes were shut tightly as the pain continued. It felt like Terrace was going to die. He opened his eyes slightly to see the queen move her head again up to the sky. She then let out a loud screech that made Terrace's head hurt even more. He closed his eyes and passed out.

When he awoke again, he got up from the ground. The pain had subsided and he felt very confused about what had just happened. He looked at the queen, who was still looking at him. Terrace felt very compelled to leave so he turned to leave, grabbing the egg. He walked out of the room and felt much more relaxed being out of sight from the huge queen. Terrace looked down at the egg and noticed something strange. It was pulsating in the container. Usually, the extreme cold temperature of the container made the egg still. This time, the egg was moving around, looking like it might hatch soon. Terrace was so confused by this that he stopped moving to look at it. As he looked at the egg, he heard strange sounds that sounded like it came from behind him. He turned around to find nothing but the sound continued to increase in volume. As it became more easy to hear, Terrace noticed it was a voice whispering something. He had to listen really hard to understand what it was saying.

"Dead… dead…. family...dead…." The voice whispered. Terrace suddenly felt a deep terror come onto him. He immediately started to walk away from where the sound was coming from but to his horror, it followed him. He didn't want to believe it but the voice seemed very persistent.

"Office…. proof…." The voice continued to talk, this time with much less horrible ideas but it still terrified Terrace. He noticed an office ahead with the door open. It was empty. He walked in and looked around until he saw a computer open. Terrace set down the egg and sat in the chair to see the thing on the screen. It was a small document from a message sent from another powerful employee in the company. Terrace started to read the message and his heart beat faster. The message read simply:

All managers of Weyland Yutani corp above rank III

A major containment breach of the facility in Ellensburg has occurred. The breach was so severe that the subjects got out into the public and are now attacking any humans they can find. Any facilities nearby are to immediately send as many members of their security force as possible.

Terrace felt faint. Ellensburg was where his family lived. Xenomorphs had gotten free in Ellensburg. His family could die, no, they would die if the security force was as weak as the one here. The image of the marine getting her head ripped off returned to his mind and he stumbled out of the chair and crashed onto the ground. His family was going to die and he could do nothing.

At the moment that Terrace realized this, the manager who owned the desk returned.

"Hey what the hell are you doing in here?!" He yelled at Terrace. Terrace looked up and saw who the manager was. It was the one who told him about Weyland Yutani threatening to kill his family if he left. He looked at the manager with hatred in his eyes.

"You told me my family would be safe if I kept working here! Not that they would die by those monsters because this horrible company can't get enough of the most dangerous beings to be discovered! You lied!" Terrace screamed at the manager. The manager realized in horror what had happened and quickly looked terrified. Before Terrace could do anything, he jumped to grab something on his table and held it up at Terrace. It was a tazer. Before Terrace could even move, the manager shot him with the taser. He fell to the ground, the powerful shock making him close to falling unconscious. He was barely able to keep his mind going as he continued to think of his family dying at the hands of xenomorphs, or more specifically, Weyland Yutani's failure. The manage walked over and moved the egg away from his desk and looked down at Terrace.

"We're going to have to make you forget about that. You won't remember it when you wake up I promise." Terrace then passed out, as he felt a tear roll down his cheek.

Author's Note: Ok yeah maybe the end is a little ridiculous but whatever man. Its more story. Weyland Yutani will erase his memory from when he got the egg to when he got tased (obviously) . The story will get back to more xenomorphs soon I promise. Hope you enjoyed.
