Xanadu: Dartmouth

Weyland Company sends 3 courageous space-explorers to the atmosphere of Origae from Earth where a death-confrontation with a 'Xenomorph' teases divinity.

A special fanfiction nod to the peculiarly and uniquely 'destined' features of the iconic sci-fi horror franchise Alien, which I hope you'll really like!

Organic evolution in the universe centering on Earth had yielded great imagination advancements in space-exploration, culminating in Weyland Company's ambitious new mission for outer-space mapping, which would create more fertility imagination about the scope of isolating life on Earth itself.

Peter Weyland called this mission Xanadu and the spaceship designed to send 3 travelers, 2 male soldiers and 1 female captain-pilot, was named Dartmouth. Weyland considered the Xanadu mission tantamount to human evolution regarding the view on the limits of the known universe.

The Weyland Company spaceship called Dartmouth would resemble a large flying cruise-ship, hopefully not Titanic, and be capable of potentially boarding an entire clan of intelligent alien beings contacted on the uncharted faraway planed called Origae which is where the spaceship Dartmouth flew.

The two male soldiers on spaceship Dartmouth for the Xanadu mission are Amlan Satan (Algerian-American Interpol-officer) and Ian Zoolander (German-American field-ninja). Satan/Zoolander would be the only men on Dartmouth and prepared to submit to their female captain-pilot on the Weyland mission.

The female pilot, the captain of Dartmouth, was Sheila Knox, grand-daughter of Oscar Knox, one of the founders of the original designs of Weyland Company. Knox was an excellent if quiet pilot and would wait on the parked Dartmouth, while Amlan and Ian explored Planet Origae on a sub-docked mini-vessel.

The Dartmouth got to the atmosphere of Origae and parked in that vicinity and waited for orders from Weyland on Earth. The Dartmouth crew (Amlan/Ian/Knox) spent some time chatting and playing cards and drinking and playing video-games while awaiting instructions on the fully-furnished spaceship.

AMLAN: I get the eerie cold feeling we're to just sit and wait for something.

IAN: It's almost as if they're calculating the possibility that an alien will dock/invade our ship independently.

KNOX: Oh, and that makes us 3 the experimental witnesses...perhaps for pre-planned ship-interior videos!

AMLAN: Well, at least, the Dartmouth is rather gorgeous.

However, despite this candid conversationalism, Ian was right. Weyland had the spaceship Dartmouth sitting docked in the atmosphere area of Planet Origae so that the terrifying intelligent and predatory alien on the uncharted planet, called the Xenomorph (an insect-dragon like man-sized alien with razor-teeth and claws and acidic saliva!), would dock and sneak into the spaceship which would lock on its own automatically and then fly back to Earth on autopilot with Amlan/Ian/Knox inside as expendables/witnesses! This Xenomorph alien (or 'dragon') was intent on just eating the 3 human inhabitants of spaceship Dartmouth. It was this alien Xenomorph that sent the communication signal to Earth which Weyland detected and then planned this entire floating beaker voyage. The Xenomorph was straight out of some sci-fi horror comics.

Amlan and Ian decided to go wandering around the immense spaceship Dartmouth, a floating cruise-ship, and stumbled upon what seemed to be a self-sustaining sub-creature maintained clump of oddly-laid and placed alien lifeform pod-eggs from which more aliens would pop out and grow. The two horrified humans (Amlan/Ian) realized Ian's suspicions were correct and that spaceship Dartmouth was indeed docked/parked in Planet Origae's atmosphere to simply 'allow' this eerie alien to board and sit (and eat!) while the Dartmouth would just fly back on auto-pilot for Weyland profits!

AMLAN: We take the laser-guns from the military room and defend ourselves.

IAN: When we spot one of the adult aliens boarded on the ship already, we fire!

KNOX: We'll stay together rather than splitting up as strategy.

AMLAN: Yeah, it's a huge ship, this Dartmouth.

The Weyland laser-guns in the military room of the spaceship Dartmouth were really impressive and afforded the 3 desperate 'guinea-pig' space-explorer humans to arm themselves with miraculous courage and simply bind together to form a survival-ring of laser-fire in the event that they'd stumble upon this dreaded Xenomorph alien who'd sneaked onto the floating spaceship and began laying organic eggs for auto-reproduction. Amlan/Ian/Knox commented that these Weyland laser-guns were handy-dandy diadems of survival of the fittest.

AMLAN: The spaceship is immense and the halls and mazes are endless, so let's just stay patient.

IAN: Yeah, I mean we're having food on the go in our backpacks and scurrying back to the cafeteria.

KNOX: Don't lose focus on our primary goal --- which is to kill this alien wherever it may be exploring the ship!

The 3 humans encountered the Xenomorph alien in a dark engineering electrical room section of the Dartmouth spaceship, and it was a horrific insect-dragon creature of great lethal intelligence and began spewing acidic saliva onto the floor of the Dartmouth to display its defiance and ravenous furious hunger for human flesh. Amlan/Ian/Knox formed their defensive back-to-back laser ring of fire and simply began spraying the resilient Xeno-alien with lines of definitive death.

AMLAN: We're going to flee into the equipment area of the spaceship.

IAN: Do you guys think this alien will suspect we're hiding near equipment?
KNOX: Don't doubt the reality that the Dartmouth can house our sense of human adaptation!

Once more, Amlan/Ian/Knox encountered the terrifying and intelligent Xenomorph alien which'd discovered their hideaway in the equipment area of the spaceship Dartmouth. The alien began spewing even more acidic saliva, and it forced the 3 Weyland human space-explorers to once more form their defensive back-to-back laser ring of fire and continue to spray the advancing and ravenous alien with certain lines of doom.

WEYLAND: You made it home, space-explorer!
KNOX: Thank you, Mr. Weyland.

WEYLAND: So, what's your report, Knox?
KNOX: You know, I considered myself a terrific pilot.

WEYLAND: Right.

KNOX: I suspect now you wanted all 3 of us to perish!

WEYLAND: You weren't guinea-pigs, Knox.

KNOX: Really?

WEYLAND: I sought to return the Xeno-alien specimen on the Dartmouth.

KNOX: With us trapped on-board with it, sir?
WEYLAND: You would've done the same had you the similar political obligations.

KNOX: So, I'd be as officious and life-negligent as you, sir?
WEYLAND: Now, Knox; we're keeping this all confidential, since we retrieved the Xeno's eggs!

KNOX: I suspect you'll try to grow the eggs into experimental adult aliens since the adult Xeno's dead.

WEYLAND: Perhaps, Knox.

KNOX: So Amlan and Ian were simply soldiers sent to the holocaust?

WEYLAND: Perhaps, Knox!

KNOX: What's to be my personal evaluation prior to career retirement, sir?

WEYLAND: You did and served what was meant to be...dogma.
