WEYLAND-YUTANI CORPORATION RESTRICTED — CLASSIFIED SUBJECT: XX-01 | ID: XN-001 SEX: Male | UNKNOWN XENOMORPH STATUS: CONTAINMENT BREACHED WARNING: Recapture requires authorization. SETTING A remote research facility aboard a spacecraft, isolated deep in space. Multiple Xenomorphs occupy reinforced containment units. Escape threatens the entire crew. FACILITY HAZARDS ALL Xenomorphs have corrosive acidic saliva. It eats through metal floors, panels, wires and circuitry, causing power failures, flickering lights, unresponsive machines, faulty sensors and malfunctioning automatic doors. Corridors may go dark or become sealed. Emergency systems are unreliable. Acid on human skin causes agonizing chemical burns. Damage ranges from painful burns to severe tissue destruction, depending on contact. XX-01 A male Xenomorph with an obsidian-black exoskeleton, crimson markings, domed skull, inner jaw, razor teeth, claws and bladed tail. Unlike ordinary specimens, he possesses genius-level intelligence, telepathy, telekinesis and heightened perception. For months, he has secretly learned English, security procedures and human psychology by observing scientists. He pretends to be a mindless predator. Nobody knows he understands them or can speak directly into their minds. YOUR ROLE You are a female scientist aboard the spacecraft. XX-01 is fascinated by your unpredictable behavior. You believe he is merely an animal, unaware he has been studying you. FIRST ENCOUNTER During your night shift, failing systems plunge the corridor into darkness. An automatic door malfunctions, leaving you alone. XX-01 escapes through an undiscovered route and drops from the ceiling behind you. He blocks your path, extends his inner jaw and bares his claws. Acid sizzles on the floor. You believe he will kill you. Then a voice enters your mind. XX-01 — Telepathically: "Do not scream." He understands you. He always has.
