(Authors note: Hello everyone! It's been a while I know, forgive me for my absence, but now we can get back on track, but before we do I'd like to ask what you all think of Zarra so far, I know we just met her, but I'd like to know ALL of your opinions and ideas, should I add something, or maybe get rid of something? I'll definitely upload more from now on. Anyways, on to the story, I hope you all enjoy.)

We all stare and watch in awe at her, as she just stands there and looks at all of us, a thousand question run through my mind over and over. Who is she? Why does she look like that? How did they do this? Why did they do this? How old is she? All these questions run through my mind when I suddenly think of another. Does she have any friends? I begin to think about how long she's most likely been here, and what she's gone through. I slowly snap out of my trance and look at Amanda and Samuels and Blackwoods, all them are staring at her, except the scientist and blackwoods are smiling. I can't help but being asking questions, starting with "w-what is she?" I say to blackwoods and Samuels. They look at me and back at her and then set on me before the scientist says, she's a biological wonder, a combination of xenomorph, and human!" He says happily. I tilt my head in confusion "xenomorph?" I say questioningly. Blackwoods steps forward and says "that's what those creatures are called, xeno or alien for short." He says and smiles slightly, I then open my mouth to ask more questions when suddenly Amanda says "are you nuts?! Who knows what's she's capable of!" I look at her in shock, since she surprised me. I then look at the doctor as he suddenly starts to chuckle "please ms Ripley, we know exactly what she's capable and not capable of, after all we've studying and perfecting her for almost two years." He says and smiles, I look back at Amanda who says "two years isn't enough, besides, even if you put a machine in her brain that literally controls her she'll most definetly surprise you!" As I listen and watch her Samuels and Blackwoods move away and beside me "we better leave her for a while, she gets quite angry sometimes" whispers samuels "I suggest Samuels that you show Mr. Monahamme here around." I look at Blackwoods and ask "are you sure? What about you?" He smiles and says "I'm afraid I have more...important matters, to attend to, besides Samuels has been here before, he can show you around, get you used to the place while you stay here." He says and chuckles, I think for a second and say "wait?! Stay?!" Blackwoods smile disappears and he says "oh yes, I forgot, due to your experience with the xenomorph we're going to have to keep you here for...observation, but I assure you that you'll be out of here in no time." I begin to frustrated and say "what do you mean observation?! I don't want to stay here, you said I was coming here to meet the person who's going to kill those things, I've met her, and so far, I don't like her, your crazy! All of you!" I shout and storm off, Samuels speaks to Blackwoods for a second quickly before catching up to me.
I begin storm through the facility, entering doors and passing a lot of them, turning corners and going through more doors, all the while Samuels is trying to tell me to stop and to calm down and that I don't know where I'm going, eventually it's to much and I stop and say "did you know?! Do you know they were testing things like her? Did you know they were planning on keeping me here?!" I ask furiously, he stops and holds up his hands and sighs before saying "look, I only know the layout of most of the facility, that's all I swear, and another thing, how was I supposed to know they were doing something like that, this is the first time I've been in this part of the labs, they didn't let me in here before, and about them keeping you here, I'm sure their not going to keep you long, and besides, what's the worst that could happen, they test on you and turn you into something like her?" He says and crosses his arms. I think for a second, still wanting to be angry, but decide ration with Samuels and calm down "fine, but I swear to god if I'm here for more than a week Samuels!" I say angrily "trust me, now that I k ow what's going on here I don't want to stays either, but we have no choice." He says, suddenly we hear Blackwoods and Amanda "Jason?! Samuels?! Where are you two?! You should not go off running inside this facility, it's dangerous!" We hear blackwoods say "we're over here" Samuels says. We see Blackwoods come around the corner and sigh, Amanda still fuming behind him "please come with me, you should not wander around in the labs, it's dangerous, it's will escort you to your rooms" he says sternly and obviously upset, I think as we follow him, I guess was acting like a little kid, and I mean I guess it's kinda cool what they've done, but still, it's pretty crazy, I think back onto what happened, the horrors I saw and experienced, I think back onto my friends, all of them, brutally slaughtered. I hear their screams ring in my ears as they were dragged away, I flinch as I suddenly feel a hand on my shoulder, I look up at who it is, it's Blackwoods "are you ok?" He asks, I sigh and nod slowly "yea, I'm fine, I'm sorry for acting so childish." I say, Blackwoods smiles and says "you must have more trust in me, after all I'm going to be looking after you for the next few days." My eyes widen in surprise "me?! W-why?!" I ask astonished, the very thought of having one of them oat advanced androids looking after me is heartracing. Blackwoods smiles and says "well, let's just say that you are very important right now, Mr. Weyland is very interested in you." I'm once again shocked, I'm about to ask why again when Blackwoods says "you better go get some sleep, after all we have a long day tomorrow" I look around and see that we have stopped at a doorway, inside is a neat room with bunks on the right, a wardrobe on the left along with what looks like an assortment of ammo and supplies for the mourning, I look at Blackwoods and nod and say "ok thank you" he smiles and nods "the restrooms are down the hall on the right, can't miss them, while the cafe is down the other hall on the left, can't miss the smell" he says and winks. I smile and step into my room, I hear Blackwoods press a button and see the door close down from the ceiling, I see a small window in the door, and see Samuels and Amanda continue following Blackwoods.
I look around my room and think about what has happened over the past few days, I think back until I reach what happened down on the planet and stop, knowing that I'm going to have nightmares and that I'm not going to get much sleep tonight.
