Act.1
Descent to Fiorina 161

The crew of the USCSS Fincher find themselves waking just a few hours before their descent to Fiorina 161. Cryo sleep has come a long way in terms of technology but, as the crew wakes up, they are in a state of dehydration. They gather in the Fincher's galley. The mercenary crew is made up of Ferguson (Captain), Flint (Pilot), Eugene (rounghneck) and Terry (Medic). The mission members of the Hyperdyne Company enter the galley (it's Dr.Jarvis, Agent Colton and Android Rook) and start their briefing.

"Greetings to the crew of the USCSS Fincher. Hyperdyne Systems appreciates all the hard work you do (and you get paid well for it) in the Outer Rim. This job should be simple. When we get to Fiorina 161, we will join the crew of the USCSS Goldenthal. It's the maintenance crew and they arrived here a week ago to start the cleaning and renovations of the station. Hyperdyne Systems has just bought from the highest bidder the facilities of Fiorina 161. It was a mining colony which was a work prison for offenders. The colony has been closed many years ago after a biohazard incident. We set up shop and oversee the maintenance on the facility. There is a tremendous amount of damages listed in the reports. Marshal Gavin will be your liaison with the maintenance crew. Thank you all for helping Hyperdyne move us into tomorrow", (says Dr.Javis, mission-Chief Hyperdyne Systems).

The Fincher descends to the surface. Fiorina 161 is rocky and lands are gray and brown. The atmosphere is breathable for humans. The oceans are black and oily. The colony's beacons are visible. The winds are severe. The ship lands without any problems. 2 strange people are waiting near the hangar. It's Marshal Gavin and Deputy Nutterman (according to ID files). PCs disembark. The place is a mess. It smells like dried sweat. There are mites everywhere. "Nobody touches anything without my permission. We're going to talk in my office", (says Marshal Gavin). "Right", (says Deputy Nutterman). Both are very unfriendly.

The bonus situation

They leave the hangar and follow a long corridor. They arrive in a junction room (processing) and they enter the communications tower. This room is cleaner and serves as quarters for the maintenance crew. The warden office is on the 2nd floor. Marshal Gavin stands next to Deputy Nutterman and roughnecks Mr. Hazpil and Mrs. Hazpil. "We need to discuss the bonus situation. The main mission team is paid more than us. We've been doing major work here for a week. No more work without an increase", (says Marshal Gavin). "Right", (says Deputy Nutterman). "We did a lot of cleaning on level 1 east and west wings. We have started to work on the ventilation system (air scrubbers) on sub-level 1. There are still a lot of electrical connections to be made with the surface generator. We still have to fix the lighting at sub-level 1", (says Mr.Hazpil). "The current bonuses are not enough", (says Marshal Gavin).

"Everyone will receive their negotiated share according to their contract. We are here to install the APOLLO mainframe. We have the shares we deserve. I'll contact the company with the ship's communication system. And, we'll see what I can negotiate for you. For know, everyone get back to work", (says Dr.Jarvis). Dr.Jarvis realizes that the maintenance crew is armed. She doesn't want to start any trouble at the moment. PCs see that the colony's communication system is not yet operational.

The Fincher's crew and mission specialists set their quarters in the medlab. Dr.Jarvis and Agent Colton return to the Fincher's cockpit with Captain Ferguson to contact Hyperdyne. Dr.Jarvis already has a budget for this type of situation. Therefore it's not necessary to contact the company. She scans the maintenance team's PDTs with her p-dat. The maintenance crew was supposed to consist of 7 people, yet there were only 4 at the meeting. PDT scans are negative. There is something blocking the scans on this planet. The company refused to give any motion trackers for the mission.

The Medlab

Rook, Flint, Eugene and Teddy bring the crew's equipment to the medlab. Nine beds and one desk is all that remains here. A window points outside over the beach but it's caked over in some kind of resin. One bed in the far back is lined with biohazard tape. Clothes are placed under the pillow. The tag says Lt. Ellen Ripley. "She forgot to bring her clothes back before leaving. I don't like this place. Okay, let's do our job quickly as possible", (says Pilot Flint).

Missing for over 24 hours

Mr. & Mrs. Hazpil meet up with Dr.Jarvis group at the hangar. They are very worried. 3 people have been missing for over 24 hours. It's Mr. & Mrs. Glenhart (Captain and second officer of the USCSS Goldenthal) and their teenage daughter Jorden. Marshal Gavin and Deputy Nutterman did not want to talk about it before the meeting so as not to interfere with the bonus negotiations. Dr.Jarvis is furious. "Colton, Ferguson, bring guns with you", (says Dr.Jarvis). Dr.Jarvis turns on her personal communication system. "I ask everyone to go to the mess hall immediately. Gavin and Nutterman, it's an order from your mission chief", (says Dr.Jarvis).

The 11 people meet in the mess hall. Only blemished tables remain here, left behind by the previous tenants. The ceiling panels are mostly removed. Blood is dried on the floor (there for a very long time). Gavin and Nutterman are fearful and they have their guns. Dr.Jarvis is very confident and determined. "We're going to give you 10K$ each for your contract bonus. Before you had 2K$ each, I think it's a great bonus. What I don't like is lies. 3 people are missing here. We need to organize a search. Gavin, Mr. & Mrs. Hazpil, agent Colton are going to inspect sub-level 1. Me, Nutterman, Ferguson and Teddy we're going to inspect level 1 with all the cells. Flint, Eugene and Rook are going to finish connecting the ventilation system. We can concentrate then on the electrical systems and finish with the mainframe installation in a few days", (says Dr.Jarvis). "We accept your offer", (says Marshal Gavin). "You're gonna stop your bullshit Gavin and start working with me okay", (says Dr.Javis, facing Gavin). "Right", (says Deputy Nutterman).

Level 1

The group of Dr.Jarvis (including Nutterman, Ferguson and Teddy) inspects all cells. They are caked in dust and mites. Nothing but bunks and a few lousy mattresses. They enter the common hall (called The Chapel by the detainees). A cloudy layer of glass lines the ceiling, missing more than half of its glass, allowing the elements in. Two catwalks line the upper level here, stairways to each one on the sides. They can't find anything.

The ventilation system

Flint's group (including Eugene and Rook) are in the Foundry (sub-level 1) and they enter the ventilation systems workshop (Air Scrubbers). All of the molten metals have hardened, making a layer of rusted metal on the floor. They have flashlights. In a dark corner, they find a young girl sitting on the ground (it's Jorden). Teddy walks up to her to make sure she's okay. She looks hurt on the head and white liquid comes out of a cut (she's an android). She looks at them. "I'm fine. I fell and passed out for a few hours. My parents are missing. We're not alone down here", (says Jorden).

The storage room

Gavin's group (including Mr. and Mrs. Hazpil and agent Colton) are in the workshop (industrial) and they enter the last room (storage). This is the room where the products made by the detainees were stored. The room is dark. The walls are covered with resin and slime. In the back corner lies 3 eggs (cocooned from Andrews, Boggs and Rains bodies but no one knows). 2 eggs are already open and decomposing. A shadow moves in the other corner. It's a gigantic black creature advancing towards the group. Everyone is surprised. Colton and Gavin take their guns. The black creature grips Mr.Hazpil with terrifying force and it walks out of the room with impossible speed. Gavin shoots but doesn't hit anything. The 3rd egg opens and a smaller creature with tentacles comes out at high speed. It sticks to Mrs. Hazpil's face who can do nothing to avoid it. Mrs. Hazpil falls to the ground unconscious but still alive. The creature glued to her face.

Act.2
We have a problem

Mrs.Hazpil is installed on the biobed of the USCSS Fincher. The creature is still attached to her face. Jorden sits on the 2nd biobed. Dr.Jarvis is looking at her as Teddy tends to her cut on the head. All the other members of the mission are present. "Why the Glenharts had an android daughter", (says Dr.Jarvis). "Their young daughter died of cholera when she was very young. They asked Hyperdyne to make me in her image", (says Jorden). "The creature of the storage room, it's the dragon from Robert Morse's book. What shall we do with Mrs.Hazpil. We can't leave that on her face", (says Marshal Gavin). "If it's the same creature as in Robert Morse's book. We better put her in hypersleep to stop the incubation process. We will leave now. We'll send a team of marines to clear the area and then we'll come back and finish our job. Captain Ferguson prepare the Fincher for departure. Colton and Rook go get the heavy weapons. We will go with the Marshal get provisions for the trip. Tell me, Jorden, where are your parents" (says Dr.Jarvis). "I saw them with the same creatures in their faces. They fell to the ground and so did I. We were in the storage room. When I woke up they were gone. I hide", (says Jorden). Teddy and Nutterman are carrying Mrs.Hazpil in a cryotude in the EEV.

Dr.Jarvis is called into the cockpit. When she arrives, Captain Ferguson tells her that the communications system is down. "We don't have the parts to fix it", (says Ferguson). Flint and Eugene return from the engine room. The engine compressor was removed. Without this piece, they can't take off. Colton and Rook also return. The heavy weapons are missing. "We have a bungler on board. Quickly Gavin go see the Goldenthal. Colton and Rook go with him. Be careful", (says Dr.Jarvis).

They mostly come out at night

Gavin, Colton and Rook return from the Goldenthal. The ship is inoperative. The communication system is down. The heavy weapons are missing and the engine has lost its compressor.

The group meets to discuss options. Flint and Eugene think they can set up a bypass for the compressor, but that's going to take several hours and they are not sure it will work. Gavin has read the inventory documents and he thinks he can find a compressor in the storage room. "We will be able to go through the cargo room which has direct access to sub-level 1 in the ventilation room", (says Gavin). "Right", (says Nutterman). "We're going to organize a group to get the compressor. The rest of the group will stay here to fix the Fincher. We will communicate with our personal intercom", (says Dr.Jarvis). Dr.Jarvis puts her hand on Jorden's head to reassure her. Jordan gives her a smile. Ferguson, Flint, Eugene and Rook will stay on the Fincher. Dr.Jarvis, Colton, Jorden, Teddy, Gavin and Nutterman are in the expedition group. Dr.Jarvis talks to Rook privatly. "Watch your group. I don't want any more sabotage", (says Dr.Jarvis).

The 2 suns of Fury 161 set. The wind is blowing outside. The group goes out in the night. They enter the cargo room. They take the stairs towards sub-level 1 (air scrubbers). They turn on their flashlights. Passing through the foundry, Dr.Jarvis looks in the corridor and she sees that the 2 trapdoors of the mines (sub-level 2) are open. She walks down the corridor. Colton is with her. Gavin asks them to come back. "The creature must come from that location. If we could close these trapdoors, it would prevent it from coming", (says Dr.Jarvis).

They all come forward to help them. 2 gigantic shadows come out of the ventilation tunnels. One of the creatures opens its outer jaws and rips Teddy's skull apart. He falls to the ground in blood. The other creature grabs Nutterman and crushes his skull. Kills him instantly. Gavin and Colten open fire. They hit their target but the alien dragons are still active. "Run towards the elevator, we're going to level 1", (says Dr.Jarvis). The 2 creatures are chasing them. Dr.Jarvis, Colton, Jorden and Gavin arrive at the elevator. They manage to close the gate but the creatures prevent them from going up. They call the crew with the intercom for help. Ferguson contacts them. They will come to help. The elevator finally leaves. The creatures are out of sight. They arrive in the common hall. They run out and head down towards the hangar and the landing dock.

When arriving in the hangar. They see the Fincher's crew coming out. At the same time, The Fincher explodes, killing Ferguson, Flint and Eugene instantly. The ship is in flames and in pieces. Dr.Jarvis is speechless. She hears the 2 creatures coming.

Act.3
Family Reunion

Marshal Gavin pushes everyone aside and when the 2 creatures arrive, they move towards him. He heads for the landing pad. "Do you have any faith sister Jarvis. Well, I have lot of faith here. Even enough for you", (says Marshal Gavin). He removes the 5 pins form the grenades he has in his hands. The creatures approach Gavin. Grenades explode. Gavin and one of the creatures died instantly. The last creature is losing a lot of blood-acid but grabs colton with force and takes him to the depths. Colton is still alive.

We can't let him die like this. Dr.Javis and Jorden collect the weapons they find. They move through the corridors following the acid tracks. They descend into the mines through the hatch in sub-level 1. They arrive in sub-level 2.

There are weakly lights strung on the ceiling. There are few tracks wherein mine carts used to be flying up and down. What once was a bustling mine full of workers trying to complete their contracts for Weyland-Yutani, this area is now anything but a mine, unless the goal was to procure dried resin and xenomorph bile. On the walls of the hive, they see the bodies of Mr. & Mrs.Glenhart in some kind of cocooning process (ovomorphing). Dr.Jarvis hides Jorden'eyes with her hand. She tells her not to look. Jorden sheds a few tears.

They follow the acid tracks. There is a room at the end of the caves. This looks like a lab. Lights are blue neon. Test tubes are arranged on a desk. A computer terminal blinks. Mr.Hazpil is lying on a stretcher. A creature with tentacles is stuck to his face. Colton is unconscious in a corner. The xenomorph that brought him here is dead. Rook is standing, facing Dr.Jarvis and Jorden. "I'm glad you could join me here. They're such beautiful and perfect creatures. I will not hide form you Jarvis. I'm working for the UPP Darkstar program. My mission is to bring back xenomorph material to push ahead the UPP bioweapons program. I've been gathering information on these creatures since we arrived and I must say ... They're far superior to any living or mechanical being in the known universe", (says Rook). "So you're the traitor. You're crazy Rook, you know that. You really think that you can get a dangerous organism like that past quarantine. I will destroy everything", (says Dr.Jarvis).

Colton opens his eyes. Dr.Jarvis realizes he has a big cut on his head (and he won't live long). Colton winks at Dr.Jarvis. She smiles at him sadly. Colton in a last effort picks up the acid-filled xenomorph and throws it at Rook's head. The acid burns his face. "Jarvis, think of all we can learn from it. It's the chance of a lifetime", (says Rook, dying). Rook falls to the ground, inactive. Its circuits are in flames. Dr.Jarvis approaches Colton. He dies in her hands.

Dr.Jarvis and Jorden find the missing ship parts in the lab. They put the compressor back in the USCSS Goldenthal's engine. They burn with fuel the lab and the remains of the xenomorph. The USCSS Goldenthal takes off to an unknown destination.

"Can I dream", (says Jorden).
"Yes honey. I think we both can. Sleep tight", (says Dr.Jarvis).
"Affirmative", (says Jorden).

Order 161
This order is handed down from Hyperdyne Systems to Dr.Jarvis, Agent Colton and Scientist-android Rook. This group of scientists was formed to find and bring back xenomorph material by any means necessary (if they find some). Hyperdyne wants to embark on the development of biological weapons. The 3 scientists were promised 5$ millions each if they succeed.

The Darkstar program
Scientist-android Rook is working undercover for the UPP Darkstar program. The mission is to bring back xenomorph material to push ahead the arms race of the UPP alien bioweapons program and to prevent Dr.Jarvis and Agent Colton in their quest.

Oh, Arthur & Derek, my men! :P

This looks soo brilliant! Alien3 Assembly Cut is my second favorite Alien entry, and my group will definitely do FotQ at some point. Thank you <3

Say, ArthurDallas, would you mind to make a summary of the changes you made to it? Just to have an extra resource at hand when I read through and prep the game later? Just ignore the request if it is too much of a hassle.

I made a lot of changes actually. I've put there 2 ships. Hyperdyne scientists have a goal to bring back xenomorph material for a bonus (Dr.Jarvis + Colton + Rook). Dr.Jarvis has a moral sense in the end (these creatures have to be killed). Rook is a double agent. He's an android (David-7 model) working for the UPP Darkstar program. His goal is to bring back xenomorph material but in his mind (crew is expendable). His behavioral inhibitors have been removed. You just have to follow the 3 acts and you will see all the changes. When you read the play report, take some notes. Someone has removed piece of the engine (they can't take off without it). heavy weapons are missing and comms are down. Rook is responsable for this, doing this in the back of everyone. Enjoy your game.

And there is a relation (a bond) mother/daughter with Dr.Jarvis and the girl Jorden. Jorgen is an android. She was given to her parents because they have lost their child (their little girl) over cholera. So you see Ripley/Newt kind of relation (bond) there.
