It Takes Two: Part Three

by wysha.thorne

Paul and Amanda arrive at Octavius Station when Paul is three months pregnant with Eve. However, upon their arrival, they see that there are new xenomorphs that don't fit the xenomorph stereotype. This also introduces a few characters who will also feature in later fics, and this will also expand on the first and second fics (via flashbacks etc).

3. Chapter 3

'We're here now.' Amanda announces as she looks around.

'I'm picking up tracks.' Samuels warns as he looks at the screen.

Before anything else can be said, a drone appears. I flame it, and it immediately runs away, but it returns seconds later with backup. I let out a few curse words, and when they finally decide to back off, Amanda and I continue with the task at hand.

'What exactly are we looking for?' I ask Nanek out of curiosity.

'A small device that is locked away in a cabinet that looks like it is made out of glass.' Nanek replies with a sigh. 'You need to be fast, though, as I don't think those creatures will hide for long.'

'They never do, as it's just a tactic that they use when trying to lure you into a false sense of security.' I reply as I locate said cabinet. 'Found the cabinet. What next?'

'Just walk over to it, open it, and retrieve both devices.' Nanek orders as she flames a crawler.

I nod, and upon walking over, I open the cabinet, and retrieve the devices. However, in doing so, I unintentionally set off an alarm, which alerts our pals.

And shit hits the fan.

We are forced to start running, as the xenomorphs gang up on us. I hand one of the devices to Amanda, and before we can say anything, we are beamed into… a fucking control room.

'I didn't know that they had put an alarm on the cabinet.' Nanek sighs as she walks over.

'Who is they?' I ask, confused.

'The Primogenitors.' Samuels replies as he follows suit. 'They are one of the oldest alien races in this universe, and they consider the xenomorphs to be the chosen ones.'
