nov 13, 2202 - A colony under an Alien attack.

Description:

Two years following the Epsilon incident, on the United American-owned moon of Euridice, colonists Jane and Ambrose, members of the religious sect known as the 'Spinners', return from a hunting trip to their local church. Euridice was colonized using the UA-owned terraforming stations Alpha, Beta, and Gamma, but soon, the stations would be shut down, and Euridice would belong to the Spinners, as contractually obligated. Jane was largely responsible for convincing the members to embark on the expedition twenty years ago and has since been revered by members. Jane herself at some point considered abandoning the colony, the "Garden of Adeline", after contracting an unknown illness that could be treated back on Earth, however, she was obliged to stay, lest the deal between the Spinners and UA would deteriorate. She has since become embittered by her responsibility of staying on Euridice and intends to return to Earth the moment the Spinners have legal ownership over their planet.

Suddenly, scanners detect the United American Extrasolar vessel UAS Heraclides plummeting from orbit. Unbeknownst to the colonists, the ship had recently been subject to a Xenomorph infestation. The ship subsequently crashes into the Garden of Adeline and sets the colony ablaze. Whilst attempting to fight the fire with the others, Jane enters the ruins of the Heraclides and encounters a Xenomorph Egg chamber. A female colonist suddenly pounces on her, before having a Chestburster erupt from inside of her. The Chestburster briefly acknowledges Jane, before fleeing. After Ambrose caught up to her, she exclaimed to him that she saw the "dogs of perdition" that had been preached about.

After the Spinners put out the fire and quell the chaos, a funeral is held for those killed in the crash. Panic erupts between the colonists, and they anxiously discuss their next approach. Jane is adamant about the creature she saw from the Heraclides, though everyone, including Ambrose, is skeptical due to her deteriorating condition.

The next day, the Spinners find the horribly mutilated corpse of Gunnar, with fellow colonist Becca missing. They conduct a search, with them eventually finding a small Hive underneath the greenery. The Spinners are horrified to see Becca cocooned before an Alien emerges and attacks them. Jane retreats to Ambrose's house, intent on finding the shotgun he erroneously forgot to take with him. Upon accessing his bedroom, she sees several Alien eggs laying by his bedside. Suddenly, Ambrose appears from behind and attacks Jane, revealing himself to be a Synthetic. He overpowers her and pins her down as a nearby egg begins to hatch.

After the Facehugger successfully subdues Jane, a distracted Ambrose is suddenly destroyed from behind by colonist Leo, who bludgeons Ambrose with a bat. Jane suddenly reawakens, the Facehugger having detached itself from her face within a suspiciously short timespan. Leaving Leo behind to dissect Ambrose's databanks for information, Jane eventually arrives at the church, finding a scattered few cultists taking refuge. Leo also arrives, presenting the mangled head of Ambrose, who reveals that after deeming the colonization of Euridice problematic to their interests, Ambrose was sent by Weyland-Yutani as a spy, and the Company had deliberately infested the Heraclides as a foil to the UA.

Leo subsequently details that there may be ships still available at the Beta and Gamma stations and that the remaining Spinners should promptly migrate. However, senior member Gertrude objects, deeming the entire incident a mere test of faith - she and several other members ultimately opt to stay inside the church.

As Jane, Leo, and several other members distance themselves from the Garden of Adeline and sever the bridge they had just crossed, they look on to witness several Aliens invade the church, slaughtering those insides, all the while Ambrose taunts them.

Three weeks following their initial departure, Jane and the remaining Spinners eventually arrive at a dilapidated mining site. Traversing the area, the group eventually comes across a Daihotai Tractor, its battery still at full charge. Intending to use it to travel the remainder of the journey to Gamma Station, Simon is reluctant to join, believing that a Gamma colonist named Sophie he had grown infatuated with may still be alive in the mines. He suddenly holds the group at gunpoint, before fleeing into the mines.

Forced to pursue Simon, the group enter the mines, now an Alien hive full of human corpses. Exploring deeper into the nest, the group is suddenly attacked by the Aliens, accompanied by Alien born from local fauna known as Tubers, and Tabby is killed in the ambush.
