sequel to 'alien' (1979) and aliens (1986), instead of the events of 'alien 3' occurring. Riply and Biship are awoken from hypersleep due to the ship having ventured into the depths of space, to far from a lightsource to keep the ship powered. But fortunately they are picked up by a residential cruiser set to discover new planets and terrerform now independent colonies. however the depths of the darkest space are not as empty as they seem. And with no civilisation or anyone knowing the location of the cruiser, the horror of deep space and clostophobia will have to be delt with, or the ship may not be filled with life again, at least human life.
