"The predalien, finally dead", I thought to myself. I had wanted it so bad. I needed it to create the hybrid, but I suppose a DNA sample would suffice. The queen had permitted me to set up a lab, so I had set my things down in the chamber I felt would suffice. Out of my storage unit, I had retrieved my DNA synthesizer, my minicomputer, a tablet, several data chips, a chemical analyzer, and several other devices I used for my work. I unfolded the legs at the bottom of my trunk, and since it doubles as a table, space for work was no problem. I put the DNA sample from the hybrid into the synthesizer, along with DNA from a Tyrannosaurus, my formula for enhancement, a little DNA from the blood in the arm the queen lost, and to top it all off, DNA from a trapper. The synthesization was easy enough, and I quickly found some ovamorphs. The facehuggers hatched at once, and I picked one up, and put it in a cage. I then injected the DNA into its embryonic containers. "Sir, who will be our first test subject?" "Easy enough, just get me a drone!" "But sir! A-a drone is a xenomorph! We have plenty of humanitarins, should I get one of them? Also the queen has requested you." "Very well, Bring me a human captive, I will go to the queen right away." I said, putting down the cage. I walked down to the chamber to see the queen, xenomorphs were hiding and scurrying away "What's got into them?" I thought. As I entered the chamber I found the queen and right under her was an android! "Terrestrion, meet 23, he is a humomorph like you." "Hello my name is Caldwell, I am an android, just like you. I came here many years ago." "It's him... The monster..." "how is he a monster?" I asked. "The experiments, the other xenos told me. He somehow made it so the queen couldn't detect it, but they were horrid. Most xenos died in them... The first Yautmorph was created because of him. Seventy xenos died for that one Yautmorph." "23 will be your partner and will help you with your work. Can you do what you did to Yang to others?" "Yes, but I cannot inject facehuggers with it, and then have it work. They must bring me the chestburster right after it has, err... 'hatched'." "I see, I will see to it that nurse drones are sent to retrieve hatchlings right away." "Very well, Cadwell, come with me." I gestured for the other android to follow. I trusted 6296, but I could not harm him, he was under the queen's protection. I had to find some way to allow the queen to know about him, but how!? If I could find what blocked her from finding out, I would do it! "So, Terrestrio, what have you been working on?" "The ultimate hybrid, Cadwell. Do you know where the human prisoners are kept?" "I will bring you one right away!"

"What could they be doing?", I thought to myself. The other android had done very bad things. I had to know what they could be doing! "Err, you're majesty, could I go see what Terrestrio and 23 are doing? " Of course, Senpi, my king." She said. I headed down the hall to the laboratory. When I stepped inside, everything seemed normal. Then I noticed a body, lying on the floor. It was a humana, who had a facehugger on him. "Hello, 'My king'." Terrestrio greeted me teasingly. "To what do I owe this visit?" "I wanted to see what you were doing." I said "Well, I just made a hybrid xenomorph DNA." "What?! Another one! That was a bad Idea!" "I kno-o-oooow, I-it-what-error!" He began talking in a bunch of garbled nonsense, and I had no clue why! I saw 23 smirking in the corner of the room! "23, did you do that?" "Now what would give you a silly idea like that?" he said, smiling insanely. "Why?". "The queen's reign is at an end!" He said, "I have made a few changes to Terrestrions original... Design, we shall call it. Instead of being loyal to her, like he intended, this new alpha male will challenge her to a fight! And in her injured state, the queen will be helpless before my creation! All we need is your blood" "Why?" "After the newborn has chestburted this human, I will turn your blood into a serum, and inject it into the newborn, making it an alpha!" "You'll need to get me first!" I yelled, darting out into the corridor. "Alright, big boy, there's more than one way to skin a cat."
