Deathmatch is a fast paced free-for-all where the only objective is to get more frags and/or a higher score than everyone else. The game ends when either the max frags, max score, or max time is met. Team Deathmatch is the same as normal Deathmatch except you should work with the players who are the same race as you. Killing someone of your race accounts for a negative frag and score. Hunt is a game where one or more players are Hunters and everyone else is the Prey. Only the Hunters can accumulate frags. If a Prey kills a Hunter, they both respawn and exchange roles. The Prey becomes a Hunter; the Hunter becomes a Prey. The game continues until either the max frags or the max time is reached. If the teams ever become uneven from the specified ratio, an appropriate player is chosen to mutate. The game of Survivor starts in a 'tag mode' where it's every man for himself. The first person killed becomes a Mutant and game play moves to the 'survive mode'. During this mode, Survivors will become Mutants if they kill themselves, or when one of the Mutant players kills them. Rounds are over when all Survivors are dead. The player with the highest score wins! Survivors gain 1 point per second during 'survive mode'. The rest of the scoring is as follows: Mutant Kills Survivor = 10 pts Friendly Kill = -10 pts Overrun is a team based game where the Defenders try to stay alive for the specified time limit. Gameplay is based on a particular number of rounds. If there is at least one Defender alive at the end of the time limit, the Defender team gets a point for each alive team member. Otherwise, the team who kills all opposing players gets a point for each living team member. The team with the most points at the end of all the rounds is the winner. Players who change characters mid-game will forfeit their lives for the current round. Evac is a team based game where the Evac players try to get one or more of their team to an evacuation zone before the time expires. Gameplay is based on a particular number of rounds. If an Evac player stays in the evacuation area for a small duration, that team wins the round. If the time expires, then the Attackers win. Each team can also win by completely eliminating the other team. The team with the most points at the end of all the rounds is the winner.

Facehuggers are remarkably quick and cunning, possessing an innate drive to avoid detection and to find an appropriate, isolated host.Weyland-Yutani Debriefing, The Incident. Appendix C - WY Training Manuals. --- During the second stage of life, the Xenomorph is at its most vulnerable. Even inexperienced teams can contain and eliminate the Chestburster with minimal loss of life. Unfortunately, during this phase, the Xenomorph displays an instinctive caution, avoiding all contact. Worse, if given time, the Chestburster will eat, molt, and grow into a full-sized drone.Weyland-Yutani Debriefing, The Incident. Appendix C - WY Training Manuals. --- Successful Xenomorph containment depends on a single factor - tracking and locating the offending specimen. This is doubly true when dealing with full-grown drones or larger Xenomorph specimens. During the first twenty minutes of a Xenomorph contamination, mortality rates are twenty to thirty times higher than the later stages of contamination.Weyland-Yutani Debriefing, The Incident. Appendix C - WY Training Manuals. --- The LV 1201 Primary Operations Complex was designed with redundancy in mind. However, when dealing with Xenomorphs, no system is foolproof. Sufficient damage to the circulation and waste flow systems could create the conditions for massive Xenomorph infiltration. For this reason, security should flush any contamination upwards - towards the office and living quarters sections - despite the certainty of increased short-term fatality counts.Weyland-Yutani Debriefing, The Incident. Appendix A - Summary. --- Throughout the early morning, all evidence points to an atypically violent, but contained Alien contamination. After eight o'clock however, new security reports appear that refer to a second set of confrontations. Oddly, these reports contain no direct mention of Xenomorph involvement. However, one must assume these were Xenomorph incidents as well, and not the work of some other hostile species.Weyland-Yutani Debriefing, The Incident. Appendix C - Training Manual. --- The flamethrower provides excellent firepower in all situations - against the Xenomorph, this is amplified by the natural shield it places between the security officer and the offending creature. However, officers should not overestimate their protection. If you cannot find your enemy, you cannot fight him.2Weyland-Yutani Debriefing, The Incident. Appendix A - Summary. --- On January 6th at approximately ten P.M., the defense system of the Forward Pods collapsed due to a massive software failure. Records indicate some number of Xenomorph drones and runners entered the Pods during the fifteen minutes of downtime. These reports also mention the loss of Archeological Team Omega, working at Dig Site #12, near the Xenomorph Hive. We believe that the focus on saving these men - code-named Operation Savior - distracted Pod security from a more immediate threat.Weyland-Yutani Debriefing, The Incident. Appendix A - Summary. --- Based on a crude analysis of the events at the Forward Pods, some have linked the loss of the Artificial Hive to Operation Savior. Such attempts to create poetic justice from mere coincidence should be summarily ignored. As if Aliens could have known of the Savior plans or have reacted intelligently to such behavior - clearly such theories stretch the bounds of Xenomorph ability.%Weyland-Yutani Debriefing, The Incident. Appendix B - Recovered Email. --- From: Dr. Eisenberg To: All Personnel We have long planned for a Large Mass Specimen Extraction (LMSE) targeted at the rarer Xenomorph species within the Hive. The loss of our archeological expedition, while unfortunate, forces our hand. I have assured the Colonial Marine Major that the LMSE is the perfect operation to distract the Hive so that his team can rescue our companions safely. To eliminate confusion on this, forward any Marine questions to me immediately.Weyland-Yutani Debriefing, The Incident. Appendix B - Recovered Email. --- From: Dr. Eisenberg To: Auxilary Pod Landing Control The Large Mass Specimen Extraction is proceeding well. We will not need to evacuate medical causalities. However, I feel that Gateway would provide a better site for further research on the Empress. McCain concurs. A dropship will arrive shortly. Please prep all teams for immediate loading and departure.9Weyland-Yutani Debriefing, The Incident. Appendix D - Dissenting Analysis. --- Despite overwhelming evidence, the committee on the Incident continues to ignore reports of a third species participating in the fall of LV-1201. Are we so arrogant as humans to assume that a more technologically advanced species than ours might exist and not wish to reveal themselves to us? They probably see us as bloodthirsty fools intent on killing one another, and wish to stay hidden until we have matured as a race and are ready to embrace their utopian ideals.-Dr. Chris Lund.Weyland-Yutani Debriefing, The Incident. Appendix A - Summary. --- The fate of Dr. Eisenberg remains uncertain. Given the disappearance of the Verloc's second dropship, we cannot state with certainty that the Doctor died on LV-1201. The possibility remains that the Doctor and at least some of his research specimens escaped from the final chaos. Company security remains very interested in his potential whereabouts.Weyland-Yutani Debriefing, The Incident. Appendix G - Major McCain's Log. --- Hard landing. Dropship has sustained minor damage. Contact lost with Dropship Two and White Team. We'll need the landing beacons on-line at the Northern Landing before I'll feel safe enough to order Johnson airborne again. That means Hall's team is headed to restore the power core. Blackwell's boys will make for the landing. There's just three of them, but Harrison's been lucky for me in the past. They call him Frosty for a reason. Cool under pressure./Weyland-Yutani Debriefing, The Incident. Appendix G - Major McCain's Log. --- Situation bad. Getting worse. Blackwell's team tripped some sort of booby trap. Harrison was inside, but I think he's alive. His A/V feeds are down, but his life signs are still coming through. I'm hoping he can still hear me on the radio. Bottom line is we're cut off from the landing now, so it's up to him to get the beacon up and wave us home. He'd better hurry too. We're getting ghost readings on the motion trackers. Something's out there - and I think it's hunting us.}Weyland-Yutani Debriefing, The Incident. Appendix G - Major McCain's Log. --- If I survive, I'm recommending Harrison for a medal. He pulled through for us - landing beacon and all. Unfortunately, security is still down. Until we restore the security, this dropship feels like a beached whale waiting for the gulls to feed. Good news, if you call it that, the plans show a security station on sub-level three - ten minutes run. Bad news is that I can't spare the manpower. If we lose this dropship, no one goes home. I hate to even send one soldier, but security isn't coming on by itself. Let's hope Harrison is a good fast runner.)Weyland-Yutani Debriefing, The Incident. Appendix G - Major McCain's Log. --- The Op's all wrong. Xenomorphs everywhere. Harrison woke them when he activated security. White Team reports the southern landing is still pretty clean though, so we're going airborne to meet them there. Johnson says the dropship can fly at least that far. That leaves Hall's team, trapped. I told Harrison to come back, but the S.O.B. won't listen. He's gone after them in a corporate APC. If he survives, I'll decide whether I write him up for insubordination. Big if. Weyland-Yutani Debriefing, The Incident. Appendix G - Major McCain's Log. --- Despite casualties, White Team has secured the Southern Landing. Clearly, there are no survivors here. The Forward Pods remain another question. Self-sufficient, if highly isolated, they could have survived. However, our attempts to contact them have failed. Either the landline is dead, or the Pods are. Either way, we'll have to drive there - three hours by APC. Let's hope the famed Dr. Eisenberg gives us a better greeting than our last.Weyland-Yutani Debriefing, The Incident. Appendix G - Major McCain's Log. --- The good news: we have found survivors. Dr. Eisenberg and his head of security, General Rykov greeted us on arrival - only they weren't happy. Reportedly, Mother's virus didn't just take down the tunnel security. It also tore a hole in the Pod's defense grid big enough for a herd of bugs to run through. They've had fatalities in the Pod and lost contact with a large archeological team - two dozen scientists and laborers. I've offered to assist, starting with getting Harrison to restore contact to the Verloc. We may be needing her cold sleep chambers - for emergency medical evacuation.qWeyland-Yutani Debriefing, The Incident. Appendix G - Major McCain's Log. --- Rykov assures me that the Pod's security has been restored, yet the personnel remain nervous and edgy. I also heard warning klaxons periodically and reports that Deck 24 has been sealed due to an ongoing contaminant. Rykov explained that this is normal procedure. The floors are evacuated and sealed until chemical treatments can be applied. No guards get hurt that way. Of course, this takes time. I pity the man who fails to get out in time. I can't imagine being trapped in there with one of those things - not after what they did to Hall.sWeyland-Yutani Debriefing, The Incident. Appendix G - Major McCain's Log. --- Harrison is dead. Rykov's lieutenant Dunya just delivered the news. In the aftermath of the bug attack, a convict laborer jumped a guard. Harrison walked straight into the fight. A flamethrower went off - then Harrison's ammo belt. Somehow the convict survived. They are hunting him now. Dunya seemed especially intent on this. Obsessive almost. I shouldn't blame her. From what Rykov has said, she lost her fiance when we took down the defense grid. I hope she finds the escaped S.O.B. and kills him. Maybe that will bring her some peace.7Weyland-Yutani Debriefing, The Incident. Appendix G - Major McCain's Log. --- Ten minutes ago, Dr. Eisenberg's teams made limited contact with their missing team. They are alive, but isolated. Eisenberg's team is drawing plans for their evacuation now; I've put my soldiers at his disposal. Still, I am uneasy. Our communications are limited to our own radio channels. The Pod comms are isolated and encrypted - to deter industrial espionage - says Eisenberg. Apparently they had problems with sabotage as well - as if I don't have enough to worry about already.>Weyland-Yutani Debriefing, The Incident. Appendix A - Summary. --- McCain's log is complete through his departure from the Pods and the commencement of Operation Savior. Their exact time of departure is unclear, but painfully evident that a difference of mere minutes would have meant the difference for the team.Weyland-Yutani Debriefing, The Incident. Appendix H - Comm Logs. --- Okay, Harrison, I've got you as close as I can. The POC is locked up tight as a drum. Assuming your White Team's still here, you've got two choices. Stand in the courtyard and shout until they hear you, or head down into the outflow system. That should get you past the primary security net and into the Southern Landing. Or get you killed. 'Course, I can say the same for staying here.DWeyland-Yutani Debriefing, The Incident. Appendix H - Comm Logs. --- Half way there. Listen, Harrison. Something's up at the Southern Landing. White Team just went dead - the Verloc called asking our people if we'd taken down the communication link. We haven't, but they're still not answering. I'd hurry if I were you.Weyland-Yutani Debriefing, The Incident. Appendix A - Summary. --- Tracking the Marine expedition becomes increasingly difficult with the commencement of Operation Savior, particularly in regards to White Team. From reliable records, it's clear that shortly after the Verloc's second dropship departed for the Forward Pods, White Team broke off contact with the Verloc. From this period onwards, we are left only with uncorroborated testimony of a single low-ranking Marine. Given the events he describes, we find it hard to accept his depiction as fact. Simply put, we need not introduce a third species to explain the destruction of the Southern Landing.Weyland-Yutani Debriefing, The Incident. Appendix I - Scientific Journals. --- The Praetorian is the warrior of the Hive, tough, massive, and ferocious. However, she is born quite humbly. Under the right pheromone conditions, runners and drones undergo a molting process extending over several years. During this time, the Xenomorph skin thickens and hardens. As the Praetorian enters mid-phase, it emits its own behavioral pheromone, which in turn enrages the Hive. Most Praetorians die during this phase. One strong enough to escape will wander the surrounding environs until her shell completes its hardening. Then, with a skin capable of reflecting small arms fire and a temper to match, she will return to assert her presence in the Hive.!Weyland-Yutani Debriefing, The Incident. Appendix H - Comm Logs. --- Listen Harrison. I'm sending you down the old synthetic access system. It dates from the first studies, before the Hive learned to tear the synths to pieces. I'm pretty sure Eisenberg sent his synths down through one of these throughways, so the equipment oughta work. If your team is heading up, they'll be coming this way. If they're headed down - just hope they're headed up. Once you find them, head up to the surface and I'll coordinate the dropship evac. Good luck.YWeyland-Yutani Debriefing, The Incident. Appendix M - Rykov's Journal. --- I have seen enough. The Zeta site is not Pilot technology. The scientists have dated the artifacts found there. They are young - hundreds of years old at most. I recognize the carvings. It is my enemy. Returned. I should have anticipated as much. This land is too rich with trophies; it is perfect for their kind. Still, I will not fail this time. Although the scientists do not understand the full technology, they have already begun to unravel the strange gear. Given time, we will find their weakness. Given time.Weyland-Yutani Debriefing, The Incident. Appendix M - Rykov's Journal. --- The attack has begun. Our modified EMP grenades work. It is fitting that we use their own technologies against them. We have taken two of the creatures - I shall call them Predators. With surprise gone, I have ordered the teams to withdraw. It is one matter to sacrifice a scientific team as bait; it is another to throw my soldiers carelessly into the Predator's path. We must not underestimate the killing power of these beasts. Weyland-Yutani Debriefing, The Incident. Appendix M - Rykov's Journal. --- The teams have returned. I should say that some have returned. We have lost many. What else could I do though? They would have found us soon - I am certain - just as they may have found the POC. Eisenberg will not hear of this possibility - he insists that the Aliens alone possessed the power to destroy the POC. His imagination is too small. It will be his undoing. I will not make the same mistake; more creatures will come for their brethren. We must be ready.>Weyland-Yutani Debriefing, The Incident. Appendix M - Rykov's Journal. --- I told Dunya to take the first creature to implantation immediately. I wanted it to die slowly. I would happily kill them all for what they have done to me. They should have finished me when they had the chance and not left me broken. I do not make the same errors. Unfortunately, I was not as quick with the second. Eisenberg intervened before I could dispatch it. He wants it alive, for study. Again, he misunderstands what he holds. He doesn't need to understand them. He needs to kill them.Weyland-Yutani Debriefing, The Incident. Appendix M - Rykov's Journal. --- So, we have not taken them all. One comes for me. On my terms, now. We track it through our cameras and sensors. I have studied some of the footage. Something about the mask draws my attention. Under magnification, I can just make out markings. They are different from the masks on the other two - more ornamental. Different and yet familiar. I feel I am staring into my past - into the face of my would-be killer. Does this mean I have found him - my attacker from so many years ago? Or more likely, his friend, his brother - ha, perhaps it is no more than a brand like a logo on a shoe. No matter. I will think of him as my nemesis - and enjoy his undoing all the more.Weyland-Yutani Debriefing, The Incident. Appendix K - Scientific Records. --- Holding time: five weeks, three days. The Predator remains strong with high antibody count and little fever. I am surprised at its resilience after our... tests. Based on the blood loss alone, it should be weak and sickly. Instead, sustained only by intravenous fluids, the creature's immune system resists all introduced strains. Still, our understanding of its physiology increases day by day. We have time now - to work without fear. Without weapons, the creature is weak - I should say without most of its weapons. Our surgeons are still reluctant to attempt removal of its forearm bands. Eisenberg was not pleased with the death of the last one - no need to repeat that so soon.Weyland-Yutani Debriefing, The Incident. Appendix M - Rykov's Journal. --- Perhaps I was wrong on Eisenberg. Perhaps the captured Predators can open the door to a final solution. After all, their physiology is not magical - they have hemoglobin - they require oxygen - they can die. One sickness, one contagion, one carrier. If I kill this one, they will return. Perhaps, there are other options.Weyland-Yutani Debriefing, The Incident. Appendix M - Rykov's Journal. --- Damn Eisenberg. I should have killed the creature when I could. Between him and the clumsy Marines, I am surrounded by fools. No, that is not fair. I could have fought Eisenberg harder. I gambled that we could learn from the creature. Perhaps we can. With the creature's blood physiology, a good team could fashion a proper solution. I imagine something similar to Anthrax 9. Without the risk of human infection, we could make it much more contagious and long lasting. If we can just catch it again, I will even have a host to carry home the death of its people.Weyland-Yutani Debriefing, The Incident. Appendix M - Rykov's Journal. --- It has escaped from the Pods, hijacking a dropship in flight. No human could have survived the crash, but it is hardly human. I pray the Xenomorphs will finish it, or failing that, Dropship 2 should finish it if we detect it trying to reach its mates. Still, I cannot be too sure. I have ordered the team to prepare evacuations - the medical data must survive.Weyland-Yutani Debriefing, The Incident. Appendix M - Rykov's Journal. --- Ivan is dead; the artificial Hive has been breached. The creature has escaped; I have lost my carrier. Enough sadness. I have the report on the third Predator's mask. It is unique - much older and more complex than the others. The scientists speculate the creature was either rich or royal or both. Given its youthfulness, I'd guess, a prince. With no ordinary crown. It is speculation, but I believe that the mask tracks their hunts - a tribal record book. If so, the mask may lead me to their homeland. Let me return the prince's crown draped in a fabric made of death.Weyland-Yutani Debriefing, The Incident. Appendix H - Comm Logs. --- Dunya! Dunya! It is here. I have entered the Hive and it follows. If I kill it, I will head for the surface and the old Access Point #3. If I don't radio again, get out. You have my codes - the funds are yours. They are covered in the blood of the POC, but you can wash away the stain. Create the weapon! Finish my battle.nWeyland-Yutani Debriefing, The Incident. Appendix C - Training Manual. --- The Exosuit combines the firepower of a light armor vehicle with the maneuverability of a foot soldier. Against light infantry and insurgent forces, the Exosuit dominates the battlefield. Only a madman would challenge a combat Exosuit - and he would certainly not live to tell about it.-Weyland-Yutani Debriefing, The Incident. Appendix C - Training Manual. --- Consider using convict labor when planning high-risk planetary developments. Contrary to popular legend, convict escape rates are uniformly low. Frankly, the convicts have nowhere to run, and given their steeply reduced penal terms, escapees are trading a few years of danger for a lifetime of incarceration. Naturally, escapes do occur - but seldom involving rational men. For this reason, escapees should be considered extremely dangerous. SOP is to terminate with prejudice.Weyland-Yutani Debriefing, The Incident. Appendix M - Rykov's Journal. --- I have the mask. I am certain that the creature knows. Fifteen minutes ago, the mask became active - most likely in response to some signal. Excellent. Let the creature come. Dunya and the team have copies of the blood work; they understand our stakes. One of us will survive. This fight will not end with me.NWeyland-Yutani Security Alert Date: July 12, 2231 Yesterday morning, our top WY biological weapons scientist was abducted from his quarters on Gateway. Thirty minutes later, the wife of our division lead at the New Brazil WD plant reported that her husband had not returned from his daily golfing. By the end of the day, WY confirmed three abductions and two missing persons reports. By all accounts, this sudden activity is not a coincidence, but a highly organized operation. Intel experts match the MO to that of the Iron Bears - however, it is well known that Vassili Rykov, the Iron Bear leader, died during the Incident on LV-1201. Besides, at least one onlooker to the Gateway incidents described the team's leader as a young, dark-haired woman. As we have yet to receive ransom demands, the motivation for these attacks remains hazy.Weyland-Yutani Debriefing, The Incident. Appendix A - Summary. --- USCM Emergency Dispatch. McCain reporting. LV-1201 abandoned. Casualties extreme. One dropship still missing. Evacuation failed. Recommend scrubbing further evac by the 6th Battalion. Primary Operations Complex has been overrun. Forward Observation Pods appear unsalvageable. Sensors indicate a massive rupture of the fusion reactor cells in the Pods. Likelihood of finding additional survivors: negligible. Requesting medical intercept ASAP.[Weyland-Yutani Debriefing, The Incident. Appendix A - Conclusion. --- Our satellites at LV-1201 confirm that the Hive is alive. Nevertheless, the Forward Pods are clearly inoperable without considerable investment. Given our need for expedient progress on Research Project X11, we are recommending immediate reallocation resources to Site #3.ZWeyland-Yutani Debriefing, The Incident. Appendix A - Summary. --- Engineering studies of the Primary Operations Complex identified the primary outflow system tunnels as the weak link in the POC defenses. However, these studies also concluded that nothing short of a bomb could breech tunnel walls and expose the POC to complete contamination. While a catastrophic failure in the pumping equipment could have led to an explosion in the flow control system, this should have been small and contained. One can only conclude that either the analysis was wrong, or that someone wanted the POC to fail.Weyland-Yutani Debriefing, The Incident. Appendix D - Dissenting Analysis. --- The conduct of this board towards the Eisenberg family borders on reckless. We refuse to ask the most obvious of questions and accept the most ridiculous answers. The medical explanations for Eisenberg's recovery from Expedition One are frankly preposterous. The unburied innocents on LV-1201 deserve better than the whitewash perpetrated by this commission.TWeyland-Yutani Debriefing, The Incident. Appendix V - Scientific Briefing. --- Once the Xenomorph population reaches a critical environmental mass - we judged somewhere between a thousand and two thousand base-living-units - the Hive pheromones change. What we call Spreading begins - as the Young Queens search out new territories. This is the normal state of affairs. Of course, should the Empress die - or even abdicate if such a thing were possible - one of the Young Queens would have to replace her. One can only imagine the fury and storm generated by such an instinctive and violent urge.Aliens can cling to walls, even walking upside-down. Try wall-walking by pressing the Wall-walk key (default LEFT SHIFT) and then running into a wall.4Escape the cargo hold by wall-walking up the ladder.You need to find a solitary victim and facehug him. To facehug a human or Predator, aim at the target's head and press your Pounce key (default E). You'll succeed if you hit the target's head or chest.Only facehug isolated victims.gIf you attack someone in sight of another human, his friends will make sure you never gestate and grow.~Aliens can see in the dark using Navigation Vision. The Next Vision key (default V) toggles your Navigation Vision on and off.xAs a facehugger, you can pounce - jumping in the direction that you're looking - by pressing the Pounce key (default E).In Normal Vision mode, if you see a blue arrow at the bottom of the screen, you are wall-walking on the ground. If the arrow is at the top, you are wall-walking on the ceiling. Two arrows on either side mean that you are wall-walking on a wall. Arrows appear in Normal Vision mode only.nChestbursters can bite, but this won't hurt your enemies much. Try to stay hidden until you grow into a drone.MTo grow into a drone, find enough food. Small mammals are perfect for eating.If you aim directly at a human or Predator head, your teeth will appear on the screen, letting you know you can headbite. This is the fastest way to get more health.~To regain your health, eat your enemies. Eat dead enemies by clawing them for a little health or by headbiting them for a lot.You can pounce on your enemies, throwing your body against them to destroy them. Look at them and use the Pounce key (default E). However, if you do this, there will be nothing left to eat.:Use your tail to stun your enemies - by pressing ALT-FIRE.HYou can lure enemies towards you with the Taunt key (default BACKSPACE).5This is an AVP2 training message. You can turn off training messages on the Game screen, inside the Options menu. Training messages are not Objectives (default TAB). Training messages offers tips on how to play. Each disappears after twenty seconds, or you can dismiss the message by pressing ESC or SPACEBAR.TIn your Navigation Vision, you can sense energetic disturbances such as laser beams.In normal Alien vision, you can sense other creatures' pheromones - you see this as an aura around the creature. If you switch into your navigation vision, you will not see any auras - effectively hiding your enemies.uAliens can tear through weakened metal. Your claws appear on screen when you sense a tearable object in front of you.=Aliens can tear through light-weight glass and plastic doors.pIf you can get at exposed circuit boards, you can use your Hacking Device to open most locked doors (default H).\The Shoulder Lamp (default G) provides minimal lighting but drains your battery very slowly.The Pulse Rifle is your fundamental Marine weapon. Use the FIRE key to trigger the assault rifle and ALT-FIRE to trigger its grenade launcher. Conserve your grenade ammo; it's hard to come by.Throw Flares by pressing the Flare key (default F). Flares burn for about fifteen seconds. You can carry twenty at a time, so use them wisely.5The Combat Shotgun is a great close range weapon with two ammunitions. Use the ALT-FIRE to switch between the two. The normal shells fire a pellet spread perfect for killing drones, Predators, or humans at close range. The AP slugs provide a powerful kick that can tear through the armored Praetorian's shell.~Your Night Vision illuminates even pitch black rooms (default V). However, the circuitry drains your portable battery quickly.AUse the Welding Torch (default T) to cut through bolts and locks.`The Knife is a weapon of last resort. In multiplayer, use the Knife to cut out of Predator Nets.With good aim, the Pistol is a deadly weapon with two distinct bullets. Use the ALT-FIRE to switch from the anti-personnel to armor piercing rounds, which are ideal for fighting Praetorians.The Flamethrower is your best short-range weapon - fast and deadly. If you are ever burned yourself, look for water or a Health Pack.The Smartgun is a powerful ranged weapon although its light rounds do little damage against the heavily armored Praetorian. Use the ALT-FIRE key to switch between Tracking Mode and Freefire Mode while in Normal Vision. While using Night Vision, the Smartgun only offers Freefire Mode.The Minigun fires high-caliber ammunition ideal for eliminating armored targets such as the Praetorian. It's also good for chewing up people, Predators, and drones. Use the ALT-FIRE to pre-spin the gun's barrel.}The Rocket Launcher is the Marine's anti-vehicle weapon. You can select from Freefire or Tracking rockets using the ALT-FIRE.^The Sniper Rifle kills targets with a single shot. Use ALT-FIRE to activate its zooming scope.lThe Grenade Launcher offers four types of grenade. Use ALT-FIRE to cycle between them. Prox grenades stick, then detonate on motion. Timed grenades bounce until hitting a live target or timing out. EMP grenades detonate on impact, stunning enemies and disabling electrical devices (including cloaking). Smart mines stick, then awake to chase anyone who comes near.Duplicate of 9029.RThe Exosuit is a mobile weapons platform ideal for urban warfare and house-to-house combat. The Exosuit carries a laser and flamethrower in its left arm and, on its right, carries a rocket launcher and minigun. You can select its arms using the next weapon (default Z) and previous weapon (default Q) or the number keys (default 1 and 2).With your Cloaking Field Generator, you can cloak (default C) as long as you have enough energy (the bar on the right of your HUD). Activating cloaking costs a moderate amount of energy, leaving it on costs little energy.With your Mask, you get four vision modes. The second of these - Thermal Vision - tracks humans. To use tracking weapons against humans - the Plasmacaster and Disc - you must use the Thermal Vision mode. Change modes with the Next Vision Mode key (default V).XYou can throw the Disc directly at your enemy or use the proper vision mode to lock the Disc onto a target. At any time during the Disc's flight, you can recall the Disc using the Fetch Disc key (default F). After the Disc hits anything, it will try to return to you. If you cannot see the Disc, you can still fetch it for a larger energy cost..By first gathering their great strength, Predators can leap nearly twenty (20) feet into the air. Crouch (default LEFT SHIFT) to gather your strength and then press the Jump key (default SPACEBAR). After a crouch jump, you'll need to recover your strength for a few seconds before crouch jumping again.You can collect trophies by decapitating your enemies. If you do this with the Speargun, you must collect the head before receiving credit for the trophy.With the Medicomp, you can heal yourself. Press the Medicomp key (default G) to heal. Using it requires half your maximum energy. If you have insufficient energy, you cannot use the medicomp.The Wristblades are a decent close-combat weapon. To increase their power, hold down the ALT-FIRE until your blades are drawn back off-screen.QWith your Energy Sifter, you can quickly recharge your energy levels (default T).OWalking or swimming in water will short-circuit your cloaking, deactivating it.rUse the spear to dismember your enemies. FIRE swings the spear horizontally. ALT-FIRE swings the spear vertically.The Speargun is a perfect sniper weapon. It has tremendous range and power, and you can fire it without canceling your cloaking. For close combat, its ALT-FIRE releases a cluster of spears. Use this against heavier targets such as Predaliens, Praetorians, and combat synthetics.Your third special vision mode - PredTech mode - allows you to navigate with light and to locate other Predators and their gear.[Without your Mask, you cannot use your Vision Modes. Find your Mask as quickly as possible.Without your Cloaking Field Generator, you cannot cloak - no matter how much energy you may have. Find your CFG to restore your cloaking ability.Your Wrist Computer also doubles as a Charge Emitter, which can short out the primitive security devices of the humans if you can get at the circuit boards. Use the Charge Emitter (default H) to unlock doors.To throw the Remote Bomb, press FIRE. Then, to detonate it, press ALT-FIRE (default RIGHT MOUSE). If you wait too long, the Remote Bomb will detonate automatically.aThe Plasmacaster is the most versatile of Predator weapons. In normal vision, the Caster fires undirected balls of plasma. In the appropriate Vision Mode, the Caster locks onto the closets target and tracks it. Increase the Plasmacaster's damage by holding down FIRE. The Caster then fires on release. Pressing ALT-FIRE gives the Caster a stored charge._Your second special Vision Mode - EM vision - detects the distinct energy signature of Aliens.The Pistol launches the Predator's most explosive attack. With FIRE, the pistol shoots a deadly energy blast. With ALT-FIRE, the weapon fires a flurry of arcing EMP blasts that can stun your enemies.With the Netgun, you can trap your enemies. To escape quickly, they must cut themselves free with a Knife, Wristblade, or Claws. Otherwise, they will have to slowly disentangle themselves. Don't give them the time. Cut them into little pieces.`Use your taunt to lure enemies towards you. Be warned. This can just call attention to yourself. McCain's Log. --- Based on Harrison's report, I have declared Sgt. Hall KIA as of eight-thirty two A.M. I will advance her name for a commendation. It feels like empty consolation. Soldiers shouldn't die that way - torn apart from the inside.

Don't blame the Commander too much - nothing in the outflow should have caused that kind of explosion. Anyway, he died trying to fix it, and bought us time to evacuate the lower crew quarters. A lot of us went down with him though. With just the handful of security I've got left, it'll be tough to hold the both landing bays until Rykov shows.

My reason is that Cheever, Kaplan, Pendleton, and Murray are missing. No, dead. It isn't the bugs either. I keep telling the convicts that it isn't the damn bugs, but they're thick-headed. They know that we're running low on manpower - that we'll need them soon. Still, Xavier, their defacto leader seems better. I've shown him the blade marks and the plasma burns. He says he understands what we're up against and why we're going to have to stick together. Blaney.Natasha, I'm sorry. If I'd have heard sooner, you know I would have done something. I wanted to shoot him, but there's so few of us. The cons won't work with me without Xavier. So there it is. I flinched. At least I came when I did - before it got too bad - can you forgive me? Will it help if I tell you I can't sleep since then? It'll be okay though. Between Xavier and I, we'll all get through this. Blaney..0Okay, Blaney, stop ducking me. No more holding out.

Morale is a security issue, so anyone spreading rumors will be dealt with severely.uTo: Internal Security Protocol Chief. From: Dr. Eisenberg. Although I understand the need to discourage espionage, I think the latest measures go beyond prudent safeguards. By tying the security layer into the node protocol, you do prevent any unauthorized transmissions in the system. However, the data layer is by definition an open layer and vulnerable to attack. The collapse of this layer could result in a cascade failure of the entire node tree - we're talking a cold reboot, fifteen minutes down time. Given the hostility of this world, I would hate to be without protection for one minute, let alone fifteen.(Transportation Handling Procedure 1011-C.

Rykov Re: Dr. Maurita Dr. Maurita's death will no longer be a topic of gossip. Morale is a security issue, so anyone spreading rumors will be dealt with severely.October 15, 2221 We have arrived. From now on, I'll refer to Earth-dated notation for these logs although days here run short, while nights feel interminable. The air is thin. Just walking around causes our people to strain. We've set up base camp in the broken lands south of the Hive. The synthetics have cleared the foliage and are currently adding a minefield and sentry gun emplacements. As I argued so often to the funding committee, human ingenuity conquers all.November 7, 2221 The Hive appears dormant. The remote rover has found Xenomorph traces, but no active specimens. The synths have begun explorations. Many signs of the carrier species. We call them - Pilots. Unexplained structures jut from the earth, and mysterious shafts vanish underground, all exhibiting the distinctive architecture of the ship from LV426. Although these archaeological remnants come as little surprise-we followed the ship's flight telemetry here, after all-I find it all a bit unnerving.\November 15, 2221 The synths have caught glimpses of Aliens smaller than those observed on LV426. I have named them Runners. They stray great distances from the Hive, especially at night. We are careful to return to the observation posts as a precaution, but they appear uninterested in us. They seem to be looking for something. The Hive itself remains dormant. I believe this dormancy may be tied to the severe climatic conditions. Our initial analysis of the flora seems to corroborate this theory. But what are they waiting for? Cooler temperatures? Increased humidity? Or is it something else?'November 25, 2221 The Runners remain a cipher. Yesterday afternoon, they abruptly attacked Weller, but have since returned to their prior disinterest in us. The attack may have been prompted by his proximity to the Hive. In any case, his death is a grim reminder not to let down our guard.November 27, 2221 Our remote probes show that Runner activity is linked to increased pheromone discharge from the Hive walls along with extremely high-frequency sound waves. Perhaps the covered cranium of the Alien operates as a resonance chamber: boosting, receiving and transmitting their ultrasonic communications. If so, the Runners must stay close to the Hive to maintain contact. With study, one might learn to duplicate their language, perhaps even replace their orders with some of my own. An entertaining theory, at least.December 12, 2221 The rockweeds bloomed today. If my theories are correct, this means an end to dormancy. McCulloch, our security chief, insists that we must withdraw to a safer vantage. Nonsense, I say. We are here to observe and collect data. We must witness the transformation.December 14, 2221 McCulloch is having fits. He has found a device, very advanced technology, yet stylized with a tribal flair. It does not match the Pilot species. In fact, McCulloch thinks it is recent, less than a decade old. It appears to be a weapon. Of course, he's now terrified. I've tried to convince him what a tremendous opportunity this is. After all, we came to learn. Still, we will limit our risks. Radio traffic is being kept to a minimum and we shall camouflage as best we can. Better we spot them than they spot us.January 01, 2222 Happy New Year. The Hive is awake. We are stranded. Last night, our perimeter defenses were interrupted by the most severe storm we've seen thus far. It was as if they knew, for within minutes, their drones swept through our encampment, slaughtering everyone in their path and crippling our dropship. McCulloch is gone. For what it's worth, he was brave at the end. Brave and dead.January 04, 2222 We're trying to adjust. It's hard. Seventeen of us left, holed up inside Observation Post 2. If we stretch our rations, particularly the water, the supplies should last four or five days. By then, we'll have to break for OP3, toward the Hive. I estimate its remaining stores will buy us about a week. OP4 should hold us for an additional month. That means two months without food before the next supply ship is due. If we can reach all of the observation posts, we might survive.January 5, 2222 We had to give up on OP3 today. Adams slipped and Green stopped to help her. We all feel guilty, but what could we have done except die with them? Besides, although no one has said it, there's now more food for the rest of us. I've told them that if we can hold out eight weeks, we'll probably be saved. It's a lie, but at least it keeps them together. The last thing we need is to start turning on each other. We'll try for OP3 again tomorrow.January 10, 2222 End of the line. We made the run without a single casualty, but we're all as good as dead. We have nowhere else to go. Not enough food, but more importantly, not enough water. Observation Post 4 has been overrun. The camera link shows it awash with Aliens. They swarm around the place, right up and over the emergency food stores. They seem to be taunting us. Is it that? Do they know we can see them? They don't understand how resourceful we humans can be. Or at least how resourceful I can be. I will not starve.To: General Rykov, Head of Security From: Dr. A.

I tried to talk with Eisenberg about this, but the topic left him quite cold. I'd guess he doesn't get along with his father, or dislikes his father's work. Sorry I couldn't help more. ---------- From: Averil Monroe. To: Dr. Berger. Your mentorship has been great, but the Hive is getting to me. I hear Eisenberg's father runs the Synth research for WY and that he's doing interesting stuff with neural imprinting into prosthetic limbs. Sight to the blind, hearing for the deaf - it's very exciting. Would you mind recommending me to the Doctor?Auditor's Report - Appended notes. I had a heated conversation with Doctor Eisenberg today. He's an arrogant one. His family is powerful - the founders of modern synthetics hold great sway on the WY board. Still, he's overestimating his protection. His father's foray into medical applications leaves the investors cold. Dubious profit and dubious technology. Yes, he's had successes imprinting neural patterns onto synthetic adaptive networks, but costs are insane - a handful might afford such operations. And there are rumors of facility loss - emotional alterations and instability. Of course, given that his subjects are generally terminal beforehand, who's to say it's the procedure.Dear Alice, In reply to your question, you know the rules - you may be my sister, but I'm sticking to public info. Safer that way. Rykov used to be USCM - a General. Discharged after an Incident on Korari - jungle planet. Messy affair, very badly injured, sole survivor. Told crazy stories about invisible killers. Lucky to get a medical discharge. Story is confused there. USCM docs say Rykov broke his spine - suffered paralysis - but later, when he pops up in mercenary circles, his back seems fine. As a merc, his record is great but violent. He's pretty free with looting too. Likes jobs where he won't be supervised and can walk away with a bonus. That last part is rumor though. Quit that job and come home. I mean it. Now. With love, Your brother, Nate.JPriorty WY Email Date: November 24, 2230.

Your student always, Betheny ClementsInternal Memo, July 24, 2230. To: Dr. Martin Sharpe, Head of Exobiological Research. From: Dr. Eisenberg. Your recommendation of Dr. Clements intrigues me. Her work shows dramatic insight for such a young woman. However, it has a distinctly idealistic tone. Choose for your team carefully. I understand that you have worked closely with her in the past. A pleasant experience, I imagine. She is quite beautiful, at least on her book jacket photo. The decision lies with you. Make it wisely.zSeptember 3, 2230. I've been here three weeks. Inside the Pods, I feel like I'm on a research vessel in orbit around Earth. Nice and safe. Sharpe has been kind since I arrived. Some things bother me though. I thought this place was strictly medical, but I wonder. I've met a physicist, Adam Post. He said he was studying the relics of Zeta site, which I first took to mean the Pilot ruins that run everywhere beneath the surface. He corrected me though - it's a younger species, he said. Certainly not indigenous with powerful energy technologies. He added that the tech was much more powerful than what he'd been building for the 'old wd.' Then he blushed and shut up. I'm sure he meant Weapons Division. I think he wanted to impress me and then realized I wasn't supposed to know. Still, he was very cute - so maybe I'll forgive his warlike tendencies.pMissing Persons Report. Archeological Expedition #425 Unexpected Xenomorph activity. They aren't usually active during the day.

He was honorably discharged after a search-and-rescue mission went bad on Korari. Everyone else died. He suffered multiple fractures along the spinal cord. The pictures show him in a wheelchair and talks about his paralysis. Something doesn't match though. He walks fine now. So why do you ask? Best, Scott Date: December 16, 2230 Scott, What's with the dear? You think I'm your granny? Listen, your data matches my suspicions. Rykov shattered his spine - my guess is on that expedition. He's walking now though - which can mean just one thing: synthetic nerve adaptation. I dabbled in the field at WY about ten years ago. Long term results were pretty sour, though. The host usually rejected the adapted ganglia without constant medication. Infections, swelling. Very painful. Even in the best case, the adapted nerves generated false memory, false stimulation. If Rykov played the guinea pig to this experiment, he's in a world of hurt. He'll be taking serious pain meds too - hardcore black market stuff. I'm not sure I want a guy in charge who's addicted to opiates. Just PaulSubject: Hunter Spear Notes: Remarkable. Closer examination of the blade's edge reveals an unknown method of craftsmanship.

My condolences on the loss of Corporal Harrison. We try to control our convict laborers through the use of technology, but as you know, technology can fail.'Have you caught the son of a bitch yet?It's only a matter of time. We've identified the last known position of the missing team. I'm afraid the rescue is not without risk.I think we can handle it.GExcellent. General Rykov will brief you on the situation. Best of luck.DImplantation sequence set. Data recording commence on my mark. Mark.$Devers, why is that alarm going off?I'm not sure, sir.TNever mind, just shut the system down. How am I supposed to get anything done here?I don't mind research on the drones, but I think we're crossing an ethical line with this. These things are clearly intelligent.4What gave you the idea Eisenberg cares about ethics?XFirst the good news. Four hours ago, a Marine rescue team arrived at the Forward Pods. Despite their inadvertent disruption of our security grid, we are now safer than ever. In fact, even as we speak, our six weeks of isolation is coming to an end. The Marines have restored our landline to the Primary Complex and thus a link to their mother ship and the universe at large. Now the bad news. As you may have heard, one of our archeological teams has become trapped near the Hive. To extricate the team, the Doctor feels we must neutralize the Hive. That means capturing and controlling the Empress.LYes, I understand your concern, but we have studied this eventuality. Next. |As you know, the majority of the Hive extends above the Empress's chamber. Our people are trapped near the outer edge. Next.HThe operation begins with a surface assault on the Hive as a diversion. No humans are involved in this initial action. We'll be relying on a strike team of combat synthetics. Yet, as I have said, this is only a feint. As the Hive responds to the surface attack, two things will occur. First, a Marine team will penetrate the Hive here to rescue our comrades. cSecond, an extraction team will break through from the tunnel system here, at the base of the Hive.Our probes have mapped this area extensively. By tunneling in here, we breach a large horizontal shaft that runs directly into the Empress chamber. This shaft will serve as our roadway for extracting her._We expect the Hive to respond aggressively to the human threats, particularly that on the Empress. By destroying the tunnels of the Hive, the combat synths will cut off the Empress from any assistance, allowing a quick and bloodless escape back to the tunnels below. Meanwhile, our Marine allies easily and safely extract our comrades. Any questions?Based on what you've described, it would seem our defenses would be considerably diminished after the attack. What if the Hive retaliates?6The sympathetic theory of pheromone relationships-as put forward by Dr. Eisenberg-is quite clear on this point. The Hive will respond to the command of the Empress, and the Empress will respond to her own instinctive drive for survival. Once we have the Empress as hostage, we will be protected from the Hive. Protected during the extraction or protected long-term? Are you saying we would then have safe access to the entire Hive and to artifact technology there?We believe that we are looking at a long-term insurance policy. For those of you whose projects have been frustrated due to incomplete archeological or biological data, this would present something of an unprecedented opportunity.Chin's theory of competitive discourse clearly indicates that the Hive will react violently to the loss of the Empress. At a minimum, the Young Queens will struggle to determine a new ascendant ruler. More likely, the Hive will come after us.Who is that? Is that you, Mencus? Well, as you can see, Dr. Chin is not with us to discuss his theory. A rather good indication of its staying power.Where is he, anyway?Yes, well. To continue with the briefing, we may expect some injuries during such an ambitious enterprise, I'm asking anyone with medical training to assist with any potential triage. Any other questions?

What'll it take to get airborne?A landing beacon and wind shear data for a start. Plus, the ship's a little beat up. Stabilizer's jammed. I can fix it, but it'll take me an hour or so. The antenna's fried , though.)So much for calling down reinforcements. KOnce we control the Complex, we'll control an entire subspace array. Hall, Red team, get the power online. White team, locate security control. Blackwell, you take Shugi and Harrison and make for the landing bay. We need that wind shear radar up and the landing site clear and powered. Once you've done that, activate the beacon.You heard the man. Move it.Burke, we've detected transmissions. Looks like somebody's on their way, so hustle it up. I've got to head down to storage for more charges. It's the quiet time, so there shouldn't be too many bugs, but if I'm not back, don't wait. I'm not letting anybody take me back to the Pods. Jenkins, The bugs have nearly vanished since New Years. Too bad none of the scientists are still around. Maybe they'd know what's going on. Could be the seasons, I guess, but that doesn't explain the weird readings the sensors have started given us. I feel like we're being watched. gGood work, Marine. Harrison, find the nearest security office and restore the defense grid for the bay.DWelcome to the Xenomorph Observational Facility, a testament to mankind's willpower and hunger for knowledge.

All Marine personnel report to Major McCain for rescue briefings.Weyland-Yutani Security Dossier Name: General Vassili Rykov. Date of Birth: Possible position: Head of security, Xenomorph Observational Facility. Risk Summary: General Rykov was severely injured while leading a search-and-rescue mission at a WY facility on Korari 2. He was the only survivor. During the ensuing investigation, Rykov claimed that an invisible extraterrestrial massacred his team. The military tribunal did not believe this story, but neither did they find any specific misconduct. Rykov was honorably discharged, a decision that was widely criticized as too lenient. After this, his history becomes murky. The records indicate that he sustained severe spinal injuries, so his current health can be considered either miraculous or the result of neuro-regenerative therapy. In the latter case, he would still require daily doses of Sededrine, an illegal narcotic known for toxic and psychological side effects. In any case, his recent behavior is suspect. While his mercenary missions have no doubt been effective, they have been accompanied by accusations of excessive brutality and corruption. Additional, unconfirmed reports charge Rykov with weapon smuggling and industrial espionage. Given this history, he could prove vulnerable to blackmail and extortion, making him a weak security link. We strongly recommend against his employment at the Xenomorph Observation Facility in any capacity, but especially as Chief of Security.)October 6, 2110. New Brazil Renowned geneticist Dr. Arnaud Eisenberg today announced a new enterprise focused on the eradication of disease through genetic alteration. Although Dr. Eisenberg described the scope of this enterprise as - ambitious - and -groundbreaking, - details remain somewhat sketchy, leaving many in the scientific community skeptical. He's got funding and support, remarked Dr. Carlton Chambers, also an expert in the field of biogenetics, but it's not clear he has much else. Today's press conference at the palatial Eisenberg estate near New Brazil marks the doctor's first public appearance in almost four years, ending months of speculation about his whereabouts and well-being. Unconfirmed reports had placed him at the center of an interplanetary expedition from which he allegedly returned in cold sleep, barely alive and badly burned from an industrial accident. The family's publicists have vehemently denied these and similar rumors, but perhaps the most convincing case can be made by the doctor's excellent health. When asked about his long silence, Dr. Eisenberg said, I've been busy. Dr. Eisenberg is the son of Dr. Ernest Eisenberg and great grandson of Tomas Eisenberg, developer of the first cybernetic organism. The project is being financed by the Weyland-Yutani Corporation.

Location: Canyons. 3km south of the Forward Observation Pods.My God.!Ivan, call the containment teams. Yes, sir.FCorrelating images now. General, records indicate an unknown species. I know this species.pSir, they probably don't even know we're here. Are you sure it's smart to send a team? We're sorely undermanned.)We will be more so if they find us first.October 15 We have arrived. I'll refer to Earth-dated notation for these logs although days here run short, while nights feel interminable. The air is thin. Just walking around causes our people to strain. We've set up base camp in the broken lands south of the Hive. The synthetics have cleared the foliage and are currently adding a minefield and sentry gun emplacements. As I argued so often to the funding committee, human ingenuity conquers all.November 7 The Hive appears dormant. The remote rover has found evidence of the Xenomorph, but no active specimens. I have ordered the synths to begin explorations. There is much evidence of the carrier species. We call them - Pilots, - for lack of a better name. Unexplained structures jut from the earth, and mysterious shafts vanish deep underground, all exhibiting the distinctive architecture of the ship from LV426. Although these archaeological remnants come as little surprise-we followed the ship's flight telemetry here, after all-I find it all a bit unnerving. Still, I shouldn't complain. It guarantees additional funding for the project. 11.15 The synths have caught glimpses of Aliens smaller than those observed on LV426. I have named them Runners. They stray great distances from the Hive, especially at night. We are careful to return to the observation posts as a precaution, but they appear uninterested in us. They seem to be looking for something. The Hive itself remains dormant. I believe this dormancy may be tied to the severe climatic conditions. Our initial analysis of the flora seems to corroborate this theory. But what are they waiting for? Cooler temperatures? Increased humidity? Or is it something else?December 25 The Runners remain a cipher. Yesterday afternoon, they abruptly attacked Weller, but have since returned to their prior disinterest in us. The attack may have been prompted by his proximity to the Hive. In any case, his death is a grim reminder not to let down our guard. From our remote probes, I have found that Runner activity appears linked to an increase in pheromone discharge from the Hive walls along with extremely high-frequency sound waves. Perhaps the covered cranium of the Alien may operate as a resonance chamber: boosting, receiving and transmitting their ultrasonic communications. If this is so, the Runners would be required to remain close to the Hive in order to maintain their contact. If they ventured beyond this range, or if I could somehow block the Hive's communication, it might be possible to replace their orders with some of my own. An entertaining theory, at least. Yet I wonder, who commands them?$December 12 The horebush bloomed today. If my theories are correct, this means an end to dormancy. McCulloch, our security chief, insists that we must withdraw to a safer vantage. Nonsense, I say. We are here to observe and collect data. We must witness the transformation. December 14 McCulloch is having fits. He has found a device, very advanced technology, yet stylized with a tribal flair. It does not match the Pilot species. In fact, McCulloch thinks it is recent, less than a decade old. It appears to be a weapon. Of course, he's now terrified. I've tried to convince him what a tremendous opportunity this is. After all, we came to learn. Still, we will limit our risks. Radio traffic is being kept to a minimum and we shall camouflage as best we can. Better we spot them than they spot us.CJanuary 1 Happy New Year. The Hive is awake. We are stranded. Last night, our perimeter defenses were interrupted by the most severe storm we've seen thus far. It was as if they knew, for within minutes, their drones swept through our encampment, slaughtering everyone in their path and crippling our dropship. McCulloch is gone. For what it's worth, he was brave at the end. There are seventeen of us left, holed up inside Observation Post 2. If we stretch our rations, particularly the water, the supplies should last four or five days. By then, we'll have to break for OP3, toward the Hive. I estimate its remaining stores will buy us about a week. OP4 should hold us for an additional month. That means two months without food before the next supply ship is due. If we can reach all of the observation posts, we might survive.January 5 We had to give up on OP3 today. Adams slipped and Green stopped to help her. We all feel guilty, but what could we have done except die with them? Besides, although no one has said it, there's now more food for the rest of us. I've told them that if we can hold out eight weeks, we'll probably be saved. It's a lie, but at least it keeps them together. The last thing we need is to start turning on each other. We'll try for OP3 again tomorrow.January 10 End of the line. We made the run without a single casualty, but we're all as good as dead. We have nowhere else to go. Not enough food, but more importantly, not enough water. Observation Post 4 has been overrun. The camera link shows it awash with Aliens. They swarm around the place, right up and over the emergency food stores. They seem to be taunting us. Is it that? Do they know we can see them? They don't understand how resourceful we humans can be. Or at least how resourceful I can be. I will not starve.Trap.Date: December 1, 2230. Time: 5:13 p.m. Incident: +6 days, 12 hours.

I'm telling you, there's something here.(You guys do another sweep, just in case.Hold on a second.I think it's in the trees.<What the hell's going on? We just lost contact with Group 2.6I don't know! All squads, proceed to rendezvous point. Movement!Where?From that cave.Hold your positions.What the hell is that?8We can't raise the survey team on the emergency channel.MKeep trying. We need to evacuate those people ASAP. Something big's going on.%We're approaching their position now.PUse your motion trackers and search by teams. We need to find this bastard fast..Target confirmed! Get me some friggin' backup!Use your EMP grenades!Sir, I got something!Watch for it in the trees!9All right, it's heading our way. Snipers, shoot on sight.Hurry up with that thing. Almost done.$That thing could show up any minute.I'm working as fast as I can./Yes, sir, we believe it's inside the perimeter.WRykov says not to take any chances. If you spot it, kill it. It's after its companions.It's on the lift!Form up!It's on level two! Over here!We've shut down the main lift! All right, close in! Over there! How the hell did it get up here?I can't raise Morris. He's dead.;God damn it! It's one friggin' contaminant, for God's sake!4Yeah, and it's headed this way. Let's check in here.We got a problem.*Control, send a containment team to Lab 2.GNegative. In case you haven't noticed, we're in the middle of a crisis.*Yeah? Well, it just got a whole lot worse.What's the situation there?<I'm not going anywhere till that containment team gets here. Anything?Not yet.Just stay alert. Don't worry.We're in trouble, aren't we?:We've been in trouble the whole time. It's just worse now.This is Hotchkins. All clear. Copy. Keep your eyes open, guys.!The sentry guns are all in place.)What about the reinforcements from Pod 2?Yes, sir. They're in place.3Good. If that thing gets out, we're in big trouble.Understood, sir.What's taking so long? Patience.1Just hurry it up. This place gives me the creeps.LStation six is reporting a breach. Let's double up on patrols, just in case.Harrison, run a bypass.I got movement!Where?Behind us. Multiple targets.'Harrison, scout ahead. We'll cover you. Harrison?!+What the hell was that? Harrison, you copy?Blackwell, report!1There was an explosion. I think we lost Harrison.UNegative, I'm still reading normal life signs. Maybe his transmitter got knocked out.6Sir, there's no way we're getting through this rubble.Understood. Fall back to the LZ. Harrison, if you can hear me, head for the POC and get the power online or we're in big trouble.uMajor McCain, we've reached the southeast entrance. Doesn't look like anybody's home... Security systems are offline.MWe're picking up some scattered energy sources... probably emergency backups.0Still no response on the emergency channel, sir.-Keep trying. Hall, proceed to the power core. Yes, sir.IAll right, we're airborne. Harrison, I hope to God you're still on track. Major, we're at the power core. How's it look?$Okay. Duke is restarting the system.Looks like the whole system was shut off, so once the main grid is online, we'll still have to reset the local relays to get the lights back on in each sector.cWhen you're finished there, find a landing bay and get the systems online so we can land this bird.What about Harrison?#We have to assume he won't make it.GMajor, looks like the generator has been reset in the east landing bay.That's gotta be Harrison.'Frosty, get that landing beacon online.3There's the beacon. All right, hold onto something.aShugi, Blackwell, this dropship is our lifeline. Don't let anything get near it. Am I understood? Yes, sir!9Harrison, we're dusting off. Rendezvous with Hall's team.jYour transmitter's shot, but looks like your camera feed is working. We'll be monitoring you from the APC.KAccording to the schematics, you're heading toward the animal storage area.Frosty!2You're heading toward the main personnel quarters.Frosty, this is crazy. Look out!'Are you sure you want to go down there? I told you!NOW what are you doing?What in the hell...?Frosty, get out of there.What the hell is that?AA good reason to turn around. Come on, Harrison, give it up, man. We're getting some interference.$Don't get too close to those things.Watch your step, man.Jesus.Frosty, get out of there. Now.We're on our way.Check your six, Frosty!!Come on, Frosty! You can make it.I rigged up an IR lens for you, but it'll drain your battery quickly. You'll only be able to use it for short stretches. Don't rely on it too much.ALike this mission ain't stupid enough without equipment problems.(Deal with it, Duke. Harrison, good luck.Looking good, Frosty.We're in business.Harrison, you're going to have to seal us in and then open the gate from the other side. Once we're through, we'll provide fire support.Good job, Harrison.Harrison, get that door open!'Maher, Stone, rendezvous with Harrison.=Damn it, this station is trashed. Luis, try to get it online.>It's no use. We've got to get to the security control station.7All right, marine. Now shut down that security console.!That's the first control station.=All right, you should be right near the next control station.)You're gonna have to find another way in.NLooks like there's a service tunnel that should take you to the main terminal. Head right.That's it. You're almost there.Okay, now straight up.PSir, we have reports of a Xenomorph still loose somewhere between level 5 and 7."Harrison, see if you can help out.&I'll direct you from the main console.%The last report came from this level.There.Look what you've done.Continue straight ahead.

A convict laborer has escaped from Detention Cellblock 4. He has killed several guards and one Marine. All other convict laborers have been recalled to detention. Any convict seen outside of detention should be considered armed and extremely dangerous.`I tried warning you when you patched into the communication grid. Guess you didn't get the hint.tSee that panel? It'll override the security lockdown. Unfortunately, it also shuts down the stasis for the egg pits.<Remember, the stasis fields are shut down, so run like hell./We just lost the stasis fields in the egg pits.0We oughta just dump this pod and cut our losses.WI sure as hell ain't leaving this room till they sound the all clear or the evac alert.The system isn't responding.Keep trying, God damn it!KTake the elevator up. You'll be able to get to the implant room from there.DDamn it. They've locked down the elevators. Can you hack that panel?PLooks like it's trying to get out of the Pod. It's heading toward the main lift.What about the bug?)They think it's near the artificial Hive.&Why haven't they purged the specimens?Hell if I know.DThere's an elevator, but you're going to need an ID badge to use it.6Head right, through those doors and across the bridge.pCheck the crew quarters. There's an emergency panel at the end of the hall. Override it and you can gain access.4Now take that elevator down to the implantation lab.;
