Attention. Due to failure of navigational circuitry,
Sulaco has entered a sector claimed by the Union of Progressive Peoples.
Auxiliary systems are now on line. Course corrected. Hardwired protocols
prevent, repeat, prevent arming of nuclear warheads in the absence of
Diplomatic Override, Decryption Standard Charlie Nine. On present course,
Sulaco will exit the U.P.P. sector at nineteen hundred hours fifty three point
eight minutes.
EXT. SULACO
The ship slides past beneath us. A U.P.P. interceptor descends INTO FRAME, matching course
and speed with Sulaco. The interceptor settles on Sulaco like a wasp.
INT. INTERCEPTOR
Three commandos climb into spacesuits. The Leader opens a hatch in
the deck, revealing one of Sulaco's airlocks. FIRST
COMMANDO, a young Vietnamese woman,
scrambles down and attaches magnetic units to the airlock. SECOND COMMANDO studies a monitor, tapping out a sequence

Commandos move down the line, guns poised. They peer in at Newt,
Ripley, and Hicks, but the lid of Bishop's capsule is pearl-white. The Leader
tries the controls at the foot of the capsule, where green and red indicators
glow.
Nothing happens. He opens a panel, finds an emergency lever, tries it. The green indicators wink off. The lid rises. A dense pale mist flows out, spilling over the edges of the capsule, revealing the ovoid of a gray Alien egg. Rooted in the center of Bishop's synthetic entrails, the egg instantly ejaculates a Face-hugger, which strikes the leader's faceplate in a spray of acid. He screams, blinded by the acid, grappling with the thing as it begins to force its way into his helmet, its t
