This is a what if story that's been haunting me for at least 6 years before I finally sat my behind down to write it. It explores the story-path that might have developed if the atmosphere processor in ALIENS didn't blow and force everybody to make it to the dropship. What if the squad would have had to tough it out for those 17 days before they could expect a rescue? What would have happened? Of course, somewhere along the way, the story takes a giant left-turn... However, this is only the first part of it. It's completed and sets the tone, but there's more to come, so please stay tuned... :-)


HUGE thanks go out to Jesse for helping me do this by providing ideas and Inspiration whenever I was about to run dry, and for co-writing this epic with me. And I'll also be eternally grateful for Wendy's, Anise's and AlienSlof's combined beta-reading efforts, and help in not making me look like an idiot. Last but not least, thanks to Kathy and Tarlan for giving this story a home:-) (My pleasure - Tarlan)
