Chapter 12
Stockholm
9 July 2026
Teresagatan (Michael's apartment) Zinkensdamm area
Michael wakes up at 9 am and he gets up straight away. Despite what happened the previous day, Michael has already decided to collect more eggs from the Alien queen and spread them in slightly different places. Michael has read that there will be a large outdoor theater at Kungsträdgården and it will cost nothing and he anticipates that many people will come. Michael thinks it's a good idea to put several eggs there. There will be a concert a little later in the day at Kungsträdgården. Michael thinks that he should place some eggs at Karolinska hospital as well, but not in the emergency department because Sven's grandmother is there.
Michael eats his breakfast very quickly and puts on the clothes he wore yesterday when he met the Alien Queen. Michael tells the staff that he will be out for several hours and visit a number of friends. Only Amanda is at the residence at the moment and she is a substitute because the regular night staff is sick. Amanda has not found out that Michael has a temporary curfew, so she lets him leave the residence.
Michael hurries to the bike room and when he is there he sees a very long wooden cart and he gets an idea. He may be able to use the wooden cart and put far more eggs in it than will fit on the bicycle. The wooden cart is unlocked and has no name sticker so Michael takes it and attaches the long steering stick to the bike's rack and it seems to be securely attached. Michael cycles to the supermarket and buys five packs of garbage bags. There are 20 garbage bags in each package so there are a total of 100 garbage bags. Michael pays and puts the garbage bags in his backpack and rides his bike to the underground tunnel.
The underground tunnel.
Michael rides his bike down through the tunnel and he looks around to see if there seems to have been anyone other than himself here but it doesn't seem so. Michael cycles to the gate at the T-Centralen and he is curious if it is still unlocked and it is. Michael sees a dead facehugger lying on the subway tracks and he realizes that its blood must have ruined the wheels of the subway train that ran over the facehugger. Micahel does not bother to go out through the gate and starts to cycle to the Alien queen's hive.
When Michael enters the part of the tunnel that leads to the Alien Queen, he feels that the tunnel is significantly warmer than yesterday. The transparent secretion starts even earlier than the previous day and there is soon so much secretion that Michael can no longer ride in it because the bike wheels get stuck in the glue. Michael parks his bike a little further from the entrance than the previous day. Michael enters the Alien queen's hive.
Alien queen's hive
It is even hotter and more humid in the Alien queen's hive than it was the previous day. The moisture flows along the walls of the space and the ground itself is wet with water. There are even more Alien eggs in the space than the previous day. Michael looks around and sees large Alien eggs everywhere, except for one place where the Ovipositor has recently started laying eggs. The alien queen has moved across space and Michael realizes that her warriors must have carried her. The alien queen is now on the other side of the huge space and is the first thing Michael sees when he enters her hive.
Michael approaches the Alien queen and she appears to be sleeping but Michael wakes her up by whistling softly. The alien queen wakes up and sticks out her entire head like a turtle and appears to be looking down at Michael. The Alien Queen's head looks really wet and Michael watches as some drops of water from the ceiling land on her crowned head. The alien queen's thick and warm transparent drool starts to drip down onto Michael's face and shirt but he finds it nice when the thick and warm drool runs down his face and down to his chin and neck. The speed of the drool increases and soon there is an almost constant popping sound as the drool lands on Michael. The alien queen turns her head to the left and hisses softly. Two of her warriors retreat. The alien queen turns her huge head to the right and hisses softly, and two other warriors retreat. The alien queen turns her head towards Michael again and she lowers her whole head towards him.
Michael waits until he can reach the Alien Queen's head and when it is close to him, he begins to pat her head with calm and gentle movements. The alien queen's drool runs over almost all of Michael's body, but he thinks the thick and warm drool feels nice against the skin. The alien queen raises her head after a moment and she seems to be looking at Michael. Michael looks over at the ovipositor who is just laying a new egg on the ground and he smiles at the Alien queen.
- I intend to help you spread several eggs today. I have a large wooden wheelbarrow with me today and several garbage bags in my backpack so I can transport many eggs today. I can see that this place needs to be emptied of some eggs.
Michael doesn't know if the Alien Queen understands what he's saying. She is completely silent and the only sounds are her wheezing and the plopping of the thick drool landing on Michael. The alien queen suddenly seems to hesitate and she moves her head from side to side making a strange sound but then she looks down at Michael again. The alien queen begins to raise her huge spine-like tail and it rises behind her huge crowned head and the long and huge tail keeps rising and soon it almost reaches the ceiling. Finally, the tail is fully raised and part of the tail hangs over the Alien Queen's crowned head. Michael thinks the tail looks incredibly cool.
A sticky sound is heard behind the Alien Queen and Michael is surrounded by a very strong musky smell and it fills his lungs and makes him almost dizzy. It takes a few seconds and Michael suddenly feels completely new emotions and he wants to crawl deep into the alien queen's huge body but somewhere deep inside he understands that it is impossible. Michael can't recognize his strange thoughts but still doesn't worry. The alien queen trusts him and he trusts her. Michael looks over at the Alien Queen's large ovipositor and he feels an enormously strong need to lie under it as the Alien Queen lays her eggs. Micahel thinks that it is quite possible to do so and he goes towards the ovipositor and the eggs. Michael carefully moves some of the eggs so he can lay down on the damp ground.
Michael lays down on the ground and shifts so that the Alien Queen's ovipositor is directly over his lower leg and then he waits. Michael can't tell if the Alien Queen is looking at him or not because the large ovipositor is in the way of his rear view. There is bubbling and gurgling from inside the large eggsac at regular intervals and when Michael turns his head and looks towards the almost transparent part of the eggsac he can see an egg moving towards the ovipositor that releases the eggs. There are several eggs behind the egg that moves forward. A large glob of warm and thick transparent mucus flows from the ovipositor and lands on Michael's leg and he feels it spread over and under the legs. The large ovipositor begins to undulate and Michael can see the egg moving towards the opening. The egg begins to appear from the lower part of the ovipositor and it doesn't take long until the egg lands on Michael's leg. Although the egg is large, it is not very heavy. The ovipositor is pulled up and large quantities of mucus and some yellowish smear flow from it. The yellowish smear coming from the ovipositor resembles egg yolk but it does not smell like egg yolk. The ovipositor slowly moves upwards towards the next available spot on Michael's leg.
Water drips from the underside of the Alien queen's eggsac and that's because it's so hot and humid in the Alien queen's hive. The eggsac is bright yellow and is transparent and this allows Michael to see when a new egg is starting to form and it won't be long until it is done but it won't be the egg that emerges from the ovipositor. There are several other eggs ahead in the queue. The entire eggsac rocks violently and a drawn out gurgling sound is heard from it. An egg is starting to approach the avovipositor and this egg is moving very quickly. The large ovipositor undulates violently as the egg moves through it and the egg lands very quickly on Michael's leg and large amounts of mucus shoot out from the ovipositor. The slime splashes loudly as it lands on Michael's body. The egg lands so quickly that a small thud is heard. The ovipositor moves towards the next available spot on Michael's leg and it is now over the higher part of Michael's leg.
Michael can hear the alien queen's hissing breath just behind him and he also thinks he hears the low sound as the thick drool lands on the ground in front of her. The eggsac twitches a few times and Michael can see when some of the eggs are moved closer to the ovipositor and he knows that another egg is about to land on him. The ovipositor begins to undulate gently and Michael can watch as the egg travels through it and becomes visible from the outside of the ovipositor. The egg lands on Michael's upper leg and more slime comes out of the ovipositor but it seems to be firmer than before so it doesn't run down onto the ground but stays on Michael's pants. A large clump of the yellowish goo comes out and it appears to be more liquid than the mucus that just came out of the ovipositor. The ovipositor moves towards the next available spot and it is now right above Michael's crotch.
To Michael's surprise, the ovipositor begins to undulate again and copious amounts of clear mucus oozes from its opening and lands on Michael's pants. The slime is very runny and runs down the pants and Michael's underpants get wet. Michael immediately feels a rising erection as the underpants get wet with the slime and that is due to the sticky texture of the slime. Michael can see the egg moving through the ovipositor and approaching the opening. The egg lands right on top of Michael's stiff penis and it sprays more liquid mucus and yellowish smear from the ovipositor and Michael almost has a powerful ejaculation but his erection subsides after a while. Now Michael's pants are so wet that they stick to his skin, but because the slime is so warm, he still thinks it's nice. The long and large ovipositor moves towards Michael's stomach.
Michael sees a movement in front of him and it is one of the Alien queen's warriors. It seems to be studying Michael and Michael wonders what it's thinking and if it can see the eggs landing on him. Michael notices that the head of the Alien queen's warrior is more ribbed and not very flat like the original monster from the first film. Michael sees that it is one of the two Alien monsters that he and Sven saw when they were in the car.
The large eggsac twitches a few times and Michael sees when a new egg begins to approach the end of the ovipositor and in the meantime several eggs are constantly forming a little further into the eggsac. There is a constant bubbling and gurgling sound from the eggsac as the eggs form and Michael thinks it's a cozy and very organic sound. The new egg reaches the last part of the ovipositor and it undulates gently as the egg is pushed down through it. The egg is seen as a large bump moving through the ovipositor and it lands softly on Michael's stomach and although he feels some weight from the egg, it doesn't feel uncomfortable. Because the ovipositor is closer to Michael's face, he can study it even better than before. The ovipositor moves higher up over Michael's stomach and he wonders how it can sense where it is free to lay the eggs. Not one of the eggs is on top of each other so somehow the ovipositor has to sense if there is any free space underneath it. Of course, it could be that the Alien queen controls her ovipositor in some way, and Michael wonders how in that case. Transparent slime drips from the ovipositor and now even Michael's shirt is wet from the slime.
The eggsac rocks violently and several eggs begin to move and give way to new ones that begin to form. Michael finds it fascinating to watch as the eggs form in the eggsac. Since the most of the eggsac is transparent, Michael can see most of the process, but he would have been able to see even better if it hadn't been bright yellow. Michael wonders if it could be the fluid inside the eggsac that makes it bright yellow. A new egg moves towards the end of the ovipositor and it is not long before it begins to undulate gently again and the large bump moves down through it. The egg lands on the upper part of Michael's stomach and after the egg lands a lot of warm slime shoots out from the ovipositor and the slime splashes onto Michael's face and some of it ends up in his mouth and Michael feels that the slime is quite sour but he swallows it anyway. It squirts large amounts of the yellowish liquid from the ovipositor and it also splashes up in Michael's face and ends up in his mouth but the yellowish liquid is more sweetish and almost tasty. The ovipositor moves towards the next available spot and is now right over Michael's chest. Soon it is above his face.
A new egg begins to approach the end of the ovipositor and it begins to drip tough transparent mucus from the ovipositor. The slime is so sticky that it hangs from the bottom of the ovipositor for quite some time before gravity finally causes it to fall down and land on Michael's chest with a light thud. The slime appears to be compact and Michael guesses that it has almost dried. The ovipositor begins to undulate gently and Michael can see the egg moving through the ovipositor as a large bump. Michael's penis stiffens again as he watches the egg move through the ovipositor, Michael thinks this is very sexy. The egg lands on Michael's chest but no mucus comes out of the ovipositor and Michael is almost a little disappointed by that.
Michael can't help but feel the egg and he presses on its leathery sides and the egg has a higher temperature than his own body temperature. The facehugger senses when Michael presses the egg and it makes several violent movements inside the egg. Michael can feel the facehuggers movements because the whole egg starts to rock. Michael can also hear the slime that is in the egg sloshing around as the facehugger moves so wildly in the egg. Michael gets scared that the egg will open and the facehugger will land on his face and he doesn't want that. Michael stops pushing on the egg and the facehugger soon stops moving.
The ovipositor moves towards the next available spot and is soon right over Michael's face. Michael can now study what the ovipositor looks like inside but it's dark in there so it's hard to see many details. Michael can see that each side of the round ovipositor appears to be covered with dried mucus. Michael brings his hand up and digs into the dry slime and manages to dislodge it and the dried slime lands in his hair. The alien queen makes a loud hissing sound and Michael takes his hands out of the ovipositor.
The large eggsac twitch several times and Michael watches as a new egg moves towards the end of the ovipositor. A clear slime starts to flow from the end of the ovipositor and it lands on Michael's face and mouth. The mucus is very acidic and Michael grimaces as some of it runs down his mouth. Michael spits out as much of the mucus as he can but it's not that easy since he's lying down. The ovipositor begins to undulate gently and the egg begins to be pushed forward through it. Michael can see the egg approaching his face and it looks huge. Large amounts of mucus continue to flow from the ovipositor as the egg is pushed forward and most of the mucus ends up in Michael's half-open mouth. When the egg is almost out of the ovipositor, a very large lump of dried mucus lands in Michael's mouth and it sticks to his lips and tongue. Michael accidentally swallows the acidic mucus that has so far flowed into his mouth and almost the entire lump of dried mucus goes with it and gets stuck in Michael's throat. The egg lands on Michael's face and he can't see anything. Michael swallows again and the dried mucus travels further down his throat and gets stuck completely.
Michael's body reacts when there is a blockage in his throat and Michael "Wakes up". Somehow his mind has been affected by the scent emanating from the Alien Queen's scent glands and when Michael wakes up he finds himself lying on the ground unable to see anything. Michael can hear the alien queen's wheezing and knows he is in her hive. Michael tries to lift his head but there is something heavy over his head and it prevents him from lifting it. Michael feels with his hands above his head and feels a warm and slimy surface that also feels leathery. It takes a few seconds for Michael to recognize the surface. This is what the Alien eggs feel like. Michael slowly pushes away what is above his head and he now see again.
Why did I have an Alien egg on my face?
Michael raises his head and sees that there is an Alien egg on his chest and when he looks further down the body, he sees that there are Alien eggs everywhere from the legs up to the chest.
The alien queen has been productive. Very productive.
Michael feels something stuck in his throat and he puts his hand in his mouth and soon finds something thick stuck in the back of his throat and he manages to pull it out. It looks like the slime that comes from the Alien queen's ovipositor but it has dried and become a thick cake of slime. Michael now feels that his clothes are completely wet with the slime from the ovipositor and he finds it a bit uncomfortable. Michael feels very confused and doesn't really understand how he ended up here and why the Alien queen laid lots of eggs on his body.
Did she want to use me as a host?
Michael looks towards the Alien queen but the large ovipositor is in the way. Michael carefully puts away the egg that is on his chest and continues to put away each egg until he can stand up again. The eggs are not heavy, but since Michael is lying down, they are not so easy to put away and especially not the first ones that are at the lower part of the leg.
Michael gets up and almost slips in all the slime that is just everywhere. Michael watches as a new egg lands from the ovipositor and he walks away from the eggs and approaches the Alien queen. The gooey slime flows from every part of Michael's body as he moves forward and he wants to change his clothes before filling the wooden cart with eggs but first he wants to understand what the Alien Queen did to him and most of all why. Michael stands in front of the Alien Queen and looks at her. The alien queen has retracted the front of her head but pushes it back out like a turtle and she lowers her head and appears to be looking at Michael.
- What did you do to me? Why did you lay eggs on my body? Heh, I think you're probably a bit mischievous, but it doesn't matter. Well, it's time for me to help you place more eggs.
Michael takes out one of the garbage bags but realizes that the eggs may not need to be in them if he straps two large garbage bags over the eggs themselves in the wooden cart. Michael walks out of the Alien queen's hive and tries to count roughly how many eggs can fit in the long wooden cart and he figures out that it probably fits 10 eggs in a row if he puts them close together and that it seems to be three lines. So hopefully he can fit 30 eggs. It is a very big difference from yesterday and MIchael feels satisfied. Michael looks at the wooden cart and thinks that he has to go back and forth many times before it is filled with eggs. Unless..
Michael grins at the idea he just got. The best, of course, is to drag the wooden cart into the Alien queen's hive and fill it with eggs and then cycle to the first place where the eggs are to be placed. Michael thinks that the Kungsträdgården is the closest and if there is room for 30 eggs, he intends to place 15 of the eggs there and the rest on... Michael stands and thinks for a while where the other 15 eggs should be placed but then he remembers what Sven and he talked about yesterday and Michael decides to place the other 15 eggs at the Karolinska hospital. Michael knows that some of those in the hospital will die anyway, but he decides not to place any eggs near the emergency room since Sven's grandmother is there. Michael thinks about how Sven would have reacted if he knew about Michael's plan and he concludes that he would have been very angry, but Michael wants this. He wishes people to die and that makes him not care that he is actually making a terrible choice.
Michael unloads the wooden cart and feels if it is easy to pull even though there is a lot of secretions on the ground and it is easy to pull the wooden cart because it has different wheels than the bicycle and the secretions do not stick to the wheels. Michael pulls the wooden cart into the Alien queen's hive and it's not easy because there are so many eggs at the entrance but he manages to pull it into the hive. The Alien Queen makes a high pitched screeching noise when she sees the wooden cart and Michael goes straight to the Alien Queen to calm her down.
- No problem. The wooden cart is not dangerous. You can trust me.
The alien queen falls silent but she looks suspiciously at the wooden cart. She doesn't seem to really trust it. The alien queen's warriors also seem to be looking at the wooden cart but they don't approach it. The alien queen hisses at her warriors and they retreat. Michael looks at all the eggs and thinks about which one to take first and he comes to the conclusion that it is best to take the eggs that are right at the entrance to the Alien queen's hive as it will be easier to move and enter the hive itself then.
Michael walks over to the very first eggs at the entrance and picks up the first egg and places it in the wooden cart. The leathery egg feels warm even though it's been there since the previous day and Michael guesses it's because of the high heat in the hive. Michael wonders if it's a good thing that it's so terribly hot in the Alien queen's hive. Maybe the eggs can go bad because of the heat. Michael picks up the next egg and places it in the wooden cart. Michael continues to fill the first row of the wooden cart with eggs and when the first row is filled with 10 eggs, he begins to fill the next row.
The Alien Queen doesn't seem to care what Michael is doing and she has summoned some of her warriors and they move some eggs so that the Alien Queen has room for more eggs on the ground. Michael thinks it looks like the eggs are being laid faster today but since he never timed each egg laying the previous day he is unsure if he is right. Sometimes a yellowish liquid comes together with the mucus when the eggs are laid and it didn't the previous day and Michael wonders what the yellowish liquid is.
Michael continues to fill the wooden cart with Alien eggs and soon there are a total of 20 eggs there but there is one row left and Michael thinks it is unnecessary not to fill the entire wooden cart. The eggs are quite tightly packed, but it is still easy to fill the third row. When the last egg is on the wooden cart, Michael looks around and it is much easier to move now even though he has only put 30 eggs in the wooden cart.
Michael takes out two garbage bags and cuts them with a scissor to make them longer. Michael puts the first garbage bag over the eggs and pushes down the black plastic on the sides so that the eggs are not visible from the sides of the wooden cart. Michael puts the second garbage bag over the eggs that the first garbage bag doesn't hide and he tapes the plastic ends so the garbage bags won't blow away and then he pulls the wooden cart out of the Alien queen's hive. The wooden cart is a little heavier now because it is filled with Alien eggs.
The underground tunnel.
Michael fastens the long steering stick of the wooden cart to the bike's luggage rack and so he begins to cycle out of the part of the tunnel where the Alien queen's hive is and he soon comes out to the big tunnel. Michael stops his bike and picks up his cell phone and opens its GPS. Michael had planned to cycle to Kungsträdgården first but he thinks that it is further to Karolinska Hospital so it seems sensible to cycle there first. Michael thinks that his clothes might have time to dry if he cycles to the Karolinska hospital first, but he doesn't really know how to cycle to get there.
Michael enters the Karolinska hospital on his GPS and waits while it searches for the best cycle route there. Michael sees that he will cycle far past the places he visited the previous day and that the time to get there is estimated to be 25 minutes. Michael has a smaller plate on the bicycle handlebars where the mobile phone can be placed and show the route that Michael will cycle. Michael starts Spotify and chooses to listen to old 70s songs. The first song in the playlist starts to play and Michael smiles and feels satisfied. So much fun this is going to be.
Michael starts to ride his bike and, as usual, he has high speed. There's no reason to ride slowly because there don't seem to be any other people in the tunnel. Michael thinks that no one apart from himself and Sven has even noticed that the tunnel is open again and that is probably the reason why no one has been here yet. But Michael isn't complaining. For now, he can have the tunnel completely in peace and that makes it easier for him to visit the Alien queen. If there had been people here who had seen Michael riding down with an empty wooden cart, they might have become suspicious if they had stayed and seen the now filled wooden cart even if they wouldn't know what it contained.
Michael sees on his GPS that the distance to the Karolinska hospital is shrinking and he feels that the shirt has started to dry but the pants are still very wet from all the mucus from the Alien Queen's drool and the mucus from her Ovipositor. Michael still remembers how he woke up on the ground and his whole body was covered in Alien eggs and he grins at the memory. That was perhaps a little too extreme even for Michael, and he thinks that he may have to be more careful when he greets the Alien queen in the future.
The song "We,ve only just begun" by the Carpenters starts playing on the mobile phone and Michael recognizes the song. Michael's mother had a Carpenters vinyl record and this song was on the record. Michael thought the song was nice and he still thinks so even if it feels a bit old. But when Michael hears the name of the song, he starts laughing out loud. Michael has started to spread the Alien queen's eggs and somehow he can feel a certain uncertainty in the song. It sounds cute but there is almost a threat in it as well. It's hard to tell what the threat in the song is if you listen to the lyrics, but Michael knows that he himself is a big threat now that he plans to place the 30 Alien eggs in the city.
We,ve only just begun. Yes indeed we have.
Michael approaches a place where the road splits in two different directions and Michael has to cycle to the left and he still has the same high speed. Michael gets closer to the spot and it looks like a tight angle where he is going to cycle to the left and he starts to brake but still comes a little too fast and the bike is very close to tipping over. The wooden cart ends up crooked behind the bike and Michael has to stop and fix it so it's straight again. Michael thinks the bike might have tipped over if the wooden cart hadn't been sitting in the back braking. Michael starts cycling again but he is more careful.
After five minutes of cycling, Michael arrives at a large gate that is open and behind it the culvert at Karolinska hospital begins.
Karolinska Hospital
Michael thought it would be some kind of rise or something but the ground just changes and Michael guesses that the culvert must have been built at the same time as the underground tunnel. Otherwise, there would certainly have been a greater difference between the tunnel and the culvert.
Michael knows that there are large elevators further into the culvert and that they go to the various wards and Michael intends to use the elevators when he places the eggs in the hospital. It doesn't take long for Michael to reach the elevators and he parks the bike nearby and unloads the wooden cart and pushes the elevator down. The lift is big enough that both the wooden cart and Michael can fit in it. Michael looks at the different elevator buttons and he sees that there are 15 different floors besides the ER and that makes it easy for him. Michael decides to leave an egg on each floor and he presses the button that says 15 and the elevator goes up to the top floor.
The highest floor consists of only one entrance and it leads to a specialist dental clinic. Michael enters the ward thinking about where to leave the egg and soon sees a waiting room and he sees that it is empty at the moment and he enters it and carefully loosens the top garbage bag and takes the egg out of the wooden cart and puts it in a corner of the waiting room where it is hidden. Michael leaves the ward and goes to the elevator and goes down to floor 14.
Floor 14 also seems to only have one entrance and it's an emergency mental health clinic and most of the doors seem to have code locks but Michael enters through the entrance and he looks for any door that doesn't have a code lock and he soon finds a door marked with " staff kitchen" and it appears unlocked. Michael opens the door and there is no one in the kitchen so Michael pulls the wooden cart into the kitchen and lifts one of the eggs and places it near the kitchen table. Michael is just about to leave the kitchen when he hears someone's footsteps near the door, but the footsteps disappear and are no longer heard and Michael can leave the kitchen and sneaks out of the ward. Michael goes to the elevator and goes down to floor 13.
Michael proceeds to place an egg on each floor of the hospital and he doesn't really care what wards it is. In most of the cases, Michael leaves the eggs in the waiting rooms but also in some staff kitchens. Michael is seen by some patients but none of them ask why he is dragging a large wooden cart with him. If a doctor or any employee had caught sight of Michael, they would surely have asked him why he was pulling the big wooden cart and what it contained. Michael is very happy that he is not seen by any staff at the hospital. When the last egg is placed on floor 1, Michael goes down to the culvert again.
Michael attaches the long handlebar of the wooden cart to the bike's rack and begins to cycle out of the culvert and it is not long before he is back in the underground tunnel. Michael does not know it but he has been filmed by a surveillance camera and the footage has been saved in a computer but the security company that owns the surveillance camera has not sat and watched the screen showing the culvert in the Karolinska hospital. Michael has been filmed both when he cycled towards the hospital and when he left the hospital.
The underground tunnel.
Michael stops his bike when he has entered the tunnel a bit and he picks up his mobile phone and restarts his GPS and he searches for the way to Kungsträdgården. Michael knows that Kungsträdgården is reasonably close to both T-Centralen and Sergels torg, but he prefers to cycle into the park if possible. After a few seconds the road is shown and it looks like it is possible to cycle into the park through the tunnel and Michael puts his mobile phone on the small plate he has on the handlebars and starts cycling again.
Michael is more cautious when he gets to the sharp turn but once he's past it and is in the straight ahead part of the tunnel he picks up speed again. This time, Michael does not start any music, but he cycles in silence and only the echo from the sound of the bicycle is heard in the tunnel. After about 20 minutes of cycling, Michael approaches a turn that goes to the left and it is not as sharp as the one near the hospital. Michael cycles into the new tunnel and he feels that there is fresh air in the tunnel and he senses that he is close to where the tunnel ends in Kungsträdgården. Michael spots some dry leaves on the ground in the tunnel and they tell him he's on the right path. It is not long before Michael sees an opening in the tunnel and it leads out to Kungsträdgården.
Kungsträdgården
Michael is cycling out into the park and he stops his bike and looks at the opening he just cycled out through and it takes a few seconds but soon he recognizes where he is. This is the oldest part of Kungsträdgården and when MIchael thinks about it, he remembers that there used to be a large metal gate where he cycled out but it is gone and there is no evidence that it was even there. Michael remembers standing and looking into the tunnel when he was younger and had his parents with him. The tunnel felt exciting somehow.
Michael guesses that there aren't that many people moving around in this part of the park and that it's unnecessary to leave any eggs here. Michael doesn't know it but there is a surveillance camera with recording right where he is standing and he is being filmed but no one is looking at the picture over that particular part of Kungsträdgården at the moment.
Michael decides to ride his bike further into the park and it's not long before he's close to where the big stage is. Michael decides to place the eggs near where the people will be sitting. Michael places two eggs under some larger chairs and it's just that the eggs fit under there. There are several green groves near the seats and Michael places some of the eggs there. There will always be someone who goes there and gets attacked. Michael hopes that the children will not be attacked.
A surveillance camera films when Michael places the eggs, but whoever is tasked with watching the surveillance is currently sitting on the toilet and does not see what is happening.
Michael works really fast when he places the eggs and it doesn't take long until the wooden cart is completely empty. Michael sees a horse that has its head above a lower stem and he goes there and looks at the horse. There is a larger gray seal behind the fence and Michael can see that he can place an egg there as well but they are out of stock.
Michel walks over to his bike again and roughly counts how many chairs are in front of the stage and he figures it must be over a hundred. Michael gets an idea. He will collect 30 more eggs and place them in the park. Michael thinks that 15 eggs are enough in the hospital, but he wants to place several eggs in the Kungsträdgården.
Michael turns his bike around and rides back to the tunnel and the Alien queen's hive. Michael knows the way now and doesn't need his GPS so he removes his cell phone from the small plate and puts it in his pants pocket. Michael rides very fast and is soon back in the Alien queen's hive. Michael parks the bike outside the hive and unloads the wooden cart and pulls it into the hive.
Alien queen's hive
The alien queen has retracted the front of her head and appears to be sleeping and Michael doesn't bother to wake her. The alien queen's warriors have moved several of the newly laid eggs and it is again full of eggs at the entrance of the hive. Michael sees that two warriors are on their way with two new eggs and he shows them where to put the new eggs. They seem hesitant but finally put them in the wooden cart and Michael thinks it's amazing that he can influence even the Alien queen's warriors.
Michael lifts the eggs standing on the slimy ground and sets them up on the wooden cart. Almost all the eggs are dark brown but there are a few eggs that are light brown instead and Michael wonders why that is. The facehuggers are clearly visible through the leathery skin of the light brown eggs and they are constantly moving at regular intervals and Michael finds it fascinating to watch.
Michael looks over to the Alien queen's ovipositor and sees two eggs almost land on each other because they leave the ovipositor so quickly. The last egg slides on the side of the previous egg and it still lands well on the ground. The alien queen's warriors retrieve the two eggs and Michael beckons them to him and they place the two eggs on the wooden cart. There is now a long row of 10 eggs in the wooden cart and Michael lifts the next egg that is on the ground nearby and places it on the next row. Michael continues to stock up on eggs and he's thankful that they aren't that heavy as they are a bit awkward to carry.
Michael notices that the Alien queen's warriors have thick drool just like the Alien queen and that it doesn't seem to run like normal water like it does on the other adult Alien monsters and he wonders how that can be. It could be that the Alien queen and her warrior's salivary organs work in a different way compared to the other Alien monsters. Of course, it could also be because it is warmer in the Alien queen's hive than outside, and that might also have an effect. The Alien queen is indeed drooling profusely, but not nearly as much as the Alien monster that Michael saw on the ferry the previous day.
The second row of the wooden cart is full of eggs and Michael begins to fill the last row. It's easy to move around again at the beginning of the Alien Queen's Hive and Michael feels satisfied that he's helping the Alien Queen keep things tidy in her hive. Michael is unsure if the Alien Queen cares how her hive looks as long as she has room for the eggs. The ground in the Alien queen's hive is covered with a thick layer of secretion so the ground itself might not look so pretty. Michael will consider that some of the secretion probably comes from the Alien Queen's drool but he would like to see how she does it so strongly. Healthcare, for example, might have been able to use the secret for different things if they knew it existed. But they certainly wouldn't have wanted an egg-laying Alien queen in the hospital. Michael giggles at how that would look.
The alien queen wakes up and she sticks her whole head out and seems to be staring at Michael. Michael looks at the Alien queen and he is still very impressed by her enormous size. Michael takes a short break in his loading of the Alien eggs and walks up to the Alien queen and she lowers her huge crowned head towards Michael and he starts to wonder if she doesn't want to be petted again and it actually surprises him. Michael didn't know if the Alien Queen wanted to be patted on the head the first time he did it, but it's becoming increasingly clear that she enjoys it. Michael pats the Alien Queen's huge head and she seems to enjoy his hands on her head. Michael smiles at the Alien Queen.
- My beautiful dear Alien queen. We seem to like each other. It is positive. As you can see, I'll help you spread the eggs around town. That's good right?
A large glob of the Alien Queen's thick drool lands right on Michael's face but he doesn't pretend it's happening. The drool is so thick that it slowly runs down Michsrl's face. Michael continues to pat the Alien Queen's head and some of her warriors look almost jealous. Michael looks over at the two Alien warriors and smiles at them.
- I can also pat your heads if you want.
Michael pats the Alien Queen's head one last time and then walks over to the wooden cart and fills it with the last eggs and leaves the Alien Queen's hive.
Michael cycles directly back to Kungsträdgården and he can see that a lot of people have come there during the time he has been in the Alien queen's hive.
Kungsträdgården
Michael cycles straight to the low fence where he saw the horse and the gray seal and they are still there. Michael lifts out a first Alien egg and he puts it down in the area where the horse and the gray seal are. The horse cautiously smells the egg and it seems that it is unsure whether the egg is dangerous or not. Michael takes out the next egg but he goes around part of the fence and places the second egg near the gray seal. The gray seal looks at Michael curiously but it does not approach the egg. The egg standing by the gray seal belongs to the light brown ones and Michael can see that the facehugger is moving inside the egg. The horse neighs and walks away from the egg that is just in front of the horse and Michael looks at it but the egg is still closed but he can sense movement inside the egg. It is obvious that the facehugger has sensed the presence of the horse but the horse was not there long enough for the egg to open.
Michael walks away from the low fence knowing that a zookeeper could come at any moment and it's not a good idea for him to be there, especially not with a wooden cart filled with similar eggs standing near the animals. But MIchael intends to return to the animals a little later and see what happens to them but he does not intend to bring the wooden cart.
Michael rides his bike to a larger bike parking lot in the park and he parks the bike there and unloads the wooden cart so he can pull it around the park more easily. Michael looks for good places to place the 28 remaining eggs and he finds a larger kiosk and places two Alien eggs on either side of the kiosk. Michael passes by an outdoor restaurant and he places two eggs where the people throw the trash. One egg is behind the garbage can and the other is right next to the garbage can. There are two elderly ladies sitting at the outdoor terrace and they look in wonder at Michael and the two eggs. None of the ladies have seen the Alien movies so they have no idea what kind of egg it is. Michael sees a water machine and he places three eggs by the machine. One in front of the machine and one behind and one to the side of the machine.
Michael thinks that it is good to place the remaining eggs near the area where the stage and most of the people are but he needs to be more careful so that no one catches him in the act when he places the eggs. There are several smaller alleys that are close to the big stage and Michael knows that they are often used by alcoholics and they probably have no fear of the Alien eggs so he places two eggs in each alley nearby. Some younger children come running and they follow MIchael and they ask what he is doing and what will happen to the eggs that are in the wooden cart. Michael turns to the children and lies to them, saying that the eggs are for decoration and that the children are not allowed to touch them. The younger children soon run towards a smaller playground and start playing. Michael is not going to put any eggs in the playground.
There is a green area in the park where people can sit and there are many trees near the area and Michael place several eggs in the green area. The eggs can easily be mistaken for a smaller tree, but those who get close to the eggs are in for a nasty surprise. A few of the eggs are light brown but most of them are dark brown. The tops of the eggs are very slimy and the slime gets all over Michael's hands but he doesn't find it disgusting. Michael goes back to where the stage is and places several eggs near the stage and the chairs where the people will be sitting because he is sure there will be a lot of people. Some young people fly some drones nearby and Michael hopes that he is not visible in the drone images. Michael pulls the wooden cart to the fence with the animals and places the last egg next to the first one closest to the horse. The horse stands some distance from the first egg and eats food. Michael stands and looks at the horse and the gray seal.
Michael doesn't know it but he has been filmed by several surveillance cameras as he has left the eggs in various places in the park but no one at the security company that owns the cameras has looked at the actual screens where Michael has been seen. They are instead focused on some other cameras where the Hip-Hop artist who will play later has his booth because there are already many younger people nearby where the Hip-Hop artist has his temporary booth. Several of the younger people want the Hip-Hop artist's autograph and they stand and wait for him to come out of his box.
Michael drags the wooden cart with him and parks it next to the bike and then he walks over to a public toilet and washes his hands. The slime from the eggs disappears and his hands are clean again. The drool from the Alien queen has dried and the pants are also dry. Michael exits the public toilet and he goes to the kiosk and buys a large vanilla ice cream. Michael sees several families walking and they are heading towards the stage where the outdoor theater will be shown. Michael also sees a very large Great Dane dog and its owner. It is a girl who is the owner of the dog and she is very fat and big and Michael thinks that the dog and the woman really fit together.
Suddenly there are lots of people walking and they are all heading towards the stage where the outdoor theater will be shown and there are both young and old people. Michael thinks he recognizes one of the people and he searches his memory. It takes a while but he finally recognizes the person. It's one of the bullies at school and his name is Torgny. Torgny was not as mean as Henrik was but Michael still hated him and Michael hopes that Torgny will be attacked by a facehugger just like Henrik.
There are even more people walking and Michael follows the wave of people and goes and sits on a chair near the stage. Michael can hear the horse neighing at the back of the stage and he can also hear the gray seal's special sound at regular intervals. Torgny sits down quite close to where MIchael is sitting and he is sure that Torgny has seen him and recognizes him. Torgny always used to sit near Michael in the school cafeteria and say mean things about Michael for everyone nearby to hear and Michael swore to get revenge on Torgny every single time.
Michael picks up his cell phone as he waits for something to happen. Michael is a restless soul and does not like when too little happens and this is one such occasion. Michael reads that the Hip-Hop artist Roffet will come to Kungsträdgården and have a free concert. Michael doesn't like Hip-Hop but he guesses that there will be a lot of people at that concert and he thinks if he shouldn't get more eggs when the outdoor theater is over but on the other hand he wants to see if all the people get attacked by the facehuggers from the eggs he has placed out so far. There are 45 Alien eggs in the park right now.
