Chapter 1: Desperate

Location: Weyland-Yutani weapons development base-Stardust system-Black Moon

Date: 17 january 2256

Time: 0832

Due to the widespread activity of the Xenomorphs the Company is struggling to keep them at bay in multiple Regions. They have become so desperate researchers have rubbed their heads together in order to produce a new weapon.

The many captures of a Xenomorph Queen have either cost the company millions of dollars in damage and deaths. And have resulted in the Queen escaping, dying or colonising another planet. There have also been attempts of safely removing an embryo from a host, but there are so many factors that could lead to the host death, making a safe extraction impossible. Unless an opportunity presents itself capturing and securing a Queen is out of the question.

The development of plasma technology is an ongoing task. The process of creating plasma weapons is a difficult one. The machines costs thousands one plasma weapon costs up to $40,000. They are anything but portable, one is the size of a APC and requires a lot of energy. The battery for this weapon is costly and oversized and the projectiles it fires is barely visible and takes half the battery. Until this weapon's size is reduced and a battery of appropriate charge is manufactured the projects going nowhere.

But recently a young scientist 26 years of age by the name of William kelly came up with the idea to genetically enhance humans. The idea was thought over by the company's leaders and soon approved, the team immediately got to work.

However after 4 months of theorising, experimenting and risk taking the experiment was cut short for failing to provide results, sacrificing human lives and costing the company time and money. The experiment was terminated the digital records deleted, the subjects cremated and the paper files were burned.

But William had other plans for the documents. Ones of good intentions that may just save his wife's life, and his second child due in 5 months.

(Williams P.O.V)

'The project is going to be terminated' William thought. After all his hard work, after all the theorising this was the company's answer to stop what he was doing and move on to other developments. He couldn't do that not with what was at stake back home.

He collected the paper samples of the most possible way to create a hybrid and started to walk to the one man who could help him, and understand how dire the situation is. His father-in-law General Robert Belenham.

"Excuse me, Bob I need to talk to you about something serious in private, It's regarding my wife." I exclaimed as he waited for Robert's response.

"With a tone like that it must be serious, but why mention it to me now, when we have had the past three weeks to talk about my daughter." Robert asked now confused of his son-in-law's actions.

I inhaled sharply and whispered "Ok, I'll tell but only if you hear me out." Bob's only response was to nod slowly.

I took my time in explaining "Two months ago jess was busy terraforming Xerxes VII, when she caught something."

"What do you mean caught something." Bob asked slightly concerned.

"I mean she caught something that is affecting my second child still in her womb, and this disease is making her suffer since her body is doing everything it can to remove this disease, but her body is failing and could soon work itself to death." I answered now panicked.

Bob stood silently for a moment "How long.." he said making me shiver " How long has she had this disease?!" he shouted.

"Only for two months, but listen it was her idea not to tell you since she knew you would over react. We went to the best doctors none of them could even identify the substance let alone try and cure it." I said quickly heart nearly bursting out of my chest.

"Then what have you been doing to try and help her, because as far as I know all you have been doing is working on a super soldier project that hasn't benefited anyone!" Bob insulted Will now furious at him for lying to him.

"You're wong, I have been trying, that is why I had the idea for this stupid experiment anyway." This instantly changed Bob's mood from angry to confused. " I've seen how the royal jelly of a xenomorph queen can heal pretty much anything, and a xeno's reproductive system demands that they take on the traits of the host, so by reversing the process we could get a human with possibly the most overpowered healing ability know to man." I stopped there to let Bob figure out the rest, and it was not a good reaction.

"Are you telling me that you want to perform an experiment that doesn't work on my daughter, and my grandson." Bob said with a dangerous tone.

"Yes but i've figured out why the experiment didn't work." This made Bobs eyebrows crease "The reason is we were performing the experiment on adults, and not just any adults, scum of the galaxy adults, criminals who, One have god knows what flowing through their veins and Two there're fully developed unable to accept any new change to their body." I explained with slight enthusiasm.

This got Bob thinking about what Will was saying, but he still didn't like the idea to perform this on Jessica.

Will knew he was getting somewhere he just needed one final push. "Whether we perform this test or not jess is going to die." He said heart broken, gaining a fraction of empathy from Bob. "At least this time the chances of her surviving this ordeal is going to be higher if we perform the test, then if we let her fight it alone."

Robert turned around and scratched his bald head. Roberts image was that of a man who always new what he was doing. He stood 6.8 feet tall was completely ripped for a 57 year old, and had a attitude that said 'no matter what the situation is I can fix it' But for the first time he didn't know what to do.

"Give me some numbers" Bob said confusing Will.

"I'm sorry" will said almost tilting his head.

"What are the chances, That the experiment will work on my Grandson, the percentage chance of it curing the disease and how long Jessica has to live" Bob said slightly annoyed.

Will probably would have face palmed "*cough* Right. I have confirmed that there is a 67% increase of the experiment working on a fetus then a full grown human, I am positively sure it has nearly a 100% chance of removing the disease and jessica has barely 3 months left to live. I should also mention we asked about abortion but in the state Jessica is in, it would kill her almost instantly." He said making Bob sigh and then ask him a different question.

"Why are you telling me this now, why not just go ahead with what jessica told you and keep your mouth shut and perform this experiment without me ever knowing." Bob said turning to face the 26 year old, who looked somewhat impressive. Being 6.3 having dark hair and steady build, With enough intelligence to answer any question. Bob hoped he had a decent answer to his question.

"Because when you let me marry Jess I made you a promise that I would not keep any secrets from you. That if something happened you would be the first to know. I haven't kept this promise entirely and I'm sorry. But there is one more reason I'm telling you this." Gaining Bob's full attention he went on "You being a General can bypass any pre-flight investigation and vice versa. If I go alone then they'll discover that I tried to steal the substances needed for indoctrination. I'll be arrested, Jess will die along with my second child, And my eldest Elizabeth will be given to you to raise, and i'm pretty sure you're not going to come and see her everyday with a job like yours." I said begging my father-in-law to understand the situation at hand.

He couldn't deny it any longer his little girl was in trouble and the man she loved had a way to cure her. And he had a way to allow it to happen.

"What do you need for this experiment." Bob said in a calm voice.

Will almost jumped with joy before saying "I need access to the labs for five minutes to make the right serum combination before the lab is destroyed. After that we'll need to get on the next interstellar cruizer out of here and to Resonance III which should take one and a half months." will finished, and gave a concerned look at Bob when he looked at the ground a shook his head.

"After the amount of time you have known me. I thought for sure you would've know I have my own Spacecraft which can get us there in one week." Bob said jokingly

Will put a hand on his chest "Don't scare me like, I almost had a heart attack."

"Yea well get used to it because I love to see the look of a moment's panic on everyone's face before telling them the truth. Come on we have your family to save." Robert exclaimed one last time before getting to work.

(Roberts P.O.V)

To say everything went well would be an understatement. The lab was completely empty. I didn't even have to watch out for others coming by while Will made the serum and erased any trace he was there. My ship Shadowblade was already wait for me all I had to say was 'It's urgent' and there it was waiting for me and Will.

We began to travel at the fastest speed my ship could go. And in no time at all we would be at Resonance III. But it was still a week away so I got the hypersleep chambers ready.

"You sure you want to use hypersleep, it'll give you a massive headache" Will reasoned.

"Please spending a week with you will give me an even bigger headache" I joked.

Will got into his chamber before replying "Very funny, Night Bob." he said as his chamber shut I laughed before mine closed.

I then fell Into an uncomfortable sleep.
