The race for survival is accelerated, as Kleist's latest creation proves to be both highly motivated. Meanwhile, the Sci-Tech elite patrol are deployed to hunt down Palmer, who hopes to rescue Kray by way of the armory. When a genetically engineered Kiande Amedha refrains from attacking an injured Kray, it seems that Kleist's attempts to breed a "tame" Kiande Amedha have finally paid off. Meanwhile, since Kleist's attempts to breed a tame Queen have all failed miserably, he's trying a new approach - one that involves using Kray's DNA, with or without his consent! Most of the Marines stationed there have been "executed" despite their commanding officer's protests, and it looks like the few remaining grunts are headed for a nasty new kind of bug-hunt. Things are getting curiouser and curiouser on Charon Base the more John Kray and Joyce Palmer find out about Professor Kleist's research, the less they like it. that is, if they make it past his "pet" Kiande Amedha! Kray and his pilot, Joyce Palmer, may be the only ones who can unravel Kleist's schemes. But workers on Charon are starting to disappear one by one, and Kleist definitely knows more about it than he's letting on. Kleist is trying to breed the beasties into something useful - something that humans can control. Kray is a corporate spy extraordinaire, but even he's never faced a mission this dangerous! Kray has been sent to Charon Base to check out research director Ernst Kleist's genetic experiments on Kiande Amedha. Lombardo bleeds out, before the Chestburster kills Alice. She has been impregnated with a Chestburster herself, and now views the embryo as a chance to have the child she was denied earlier in life. As he slumps to the ground, he realizes too late that Alice has been driven insane. When Lombardo questions how she could possibly know this, she mutters, "Because they sent me instead," before slitting his throat. Along the way, he learns that her life has been fraught with pain and suffering - aside from being captured by kiande amedha and watching her colleagues die giving birth to Chestbursters, she is also dying of terminal cancer and once lost her only child to stillbirth.Īs they near the exit, Lombardo expresses concern at the ease of their escape, to which Alice assures him the creatures are not following them. Giving her his combat knife to help her focus, Lombardo begins to lead the woman out of the facility. She tells him that the rest of the colonists are all dead, having all been used to host Chestbursters. The path now clear, he goes to the colonist, named Alice, who is mysteriously not cocooned and clearly suffering from shock. As the kiande amedha cautiously advance, Lombardo slowly backs in the tunnel behind him, luring them in before destroying them with a high explosive grenade from his M41A Pulse Rifle. Now Lombardo stands face-to-face with a group of kiande amedha and a lone surviving colonist in the Hive. Heimbuch and Blazi died almost instantly, while Antonio was taken soon after. Having only ever dealt with lone kiande amedha aggressors before, his unit was ambushed soon after entering the supply depot where they suspected the creatures had established their Hive. The two continue to battle the kiande amedha together, finally reaching and engaging the Queen as Charon 13 begins to collapse into the lava bellow, taking Marshall, the Yautja and the surviving kiande amedha to their deaths.ĭispatched to a remote colony on Taurus Seven in response to a kiande amedha outbreak, Lance Corporal Lombardo is now the last surviving member of his four-man squad. Suffering from the pain of the Chestburster inside its chest, the Yautja drops its guard and is about to fall victim to a kiande amedha when Marshall steps in and saves its life. Losing hope, Marshall notices the Yautja in the midst of a ferocious battle with the kiande amedha, close to being overwhelmed by their numbers and the Queen that has joined the fray. However, to her horror, Marhsall discovers the kiande amedha have already infested the shuttle. Knowing she is carrying a Chestburster, Marshall elects to remain, helping her comrades escape whilst ensuring the kiande amedha threat does not spread from Charon 13. Kenner, Jas and Marshall find a shuttle that can be used to escape, but discover that it requires manual operation from the surface, meaning one of them will have to stay behind. Meanwhile, the Yautja awakes, puts its gear back on and prepares to kill some kiande amedha. Deeming the situation lost, Kenner and Jas rouse Marshall and the three of them attempt to flee the planet. Soldiers Kenner and Jas desperately attempt to rescue victims that have been taken by kiande amedha, finding their leader Marshall lying unconscious alongside a similarly comatose Yautja, both having been impregnated by Facehuggers. On Charon 13 mining station, a desolated rimworld in a forgotten system, a kiande amedha outbreaks spreads on a geo-thermal processing station.
