The old queen is dead, and some people are not pleased with that. Now a handful of scientist have with help from the army cloned the deceased Ripley in the purpose of bringing her offspring to life; an Alien is created and noone can once again be safe
Prolog: It is 200 years since the incidents on Fiorina 161. The alien species is officially wiped out. Ripley is dead. 'The Company' is no longer in charge...but really nothing has changed. Still scientist and the military want the alien...
Plot: The movie starts by showing the audience the USM ship Auriga going into orbit around Jupiter (?). Then we get to know that Ripley has been resurrected, cloned. She is grown in a huge test-tube. The clone, who is number 8, is fully matured.
A scientis team operates Ripley, removing the alien embryo from her chest. Of some reason unknown they descides to keep Ripley, who they call 'the host', alive.
They dresses her in a kind of clothing and seals her up inside a cell. There she awakes for the first time. She is different from the Ripley who died on Fiorina. Her nails are darkish and formed like claws. She discovers the sealed wound on her chest and it seems like she missed the alien embyro inside of her, just like it was a child.
A couple of days later they are examining Ripley 8. The scientists, Dr. Gediman and Dr. Wren are amused by the extremely rapidly healing of her wound. Ripley don't speak during the exam, but when Dr. Wren gets too close, she suddenly bursts out of her restrainment and attacks him. She is trying to strangulate Dr. Wren when some army guys runs into the room and gives her an electric shock in the head. Ripley falls to the ground, disoriented, while Dr. Wren tells the army guys to back off.
Later, they are relearning Ripley 8 to talk, and she amused everybody by learning extremely fast. Within about 4 days, she talks perfectly again. But the scientists are frightened and excited because her rapid learning of language shows that Ripley 8 has memories. Memories passed on by the xenomorph blood in her veins. General Perez is not happy of having Ripley 8 alive. Not only because of her memories but also the threat she poses to them. The General would put Ripley 8 down if she even looked at him strangely. General Perez is afraid that Ripley 8 will take up her old hobby of killing aliens. Dr. Wren and Dr. Gediman tries to calm the General down by telling him that they wount tell Ripley 8. The General and the two doctors walks into an observationroom. There they have the full visuals of an adult queen, the same queen they removed from Ripley only a few days ago.
Ripley 8 and Dr. Gediman is sitting in a cantina, eating. Ripley 8 looks at her fork, and says 'fuck'. Dr. Gediman corrects her. Ripley 8 asks how they got her. Gediman explains that they cloned her from a bloodsample from Fiorina 161 (which they call Fiorina 16!!). Ripley 8 seems more or less pleased with the answer. Ripley 8 askes about the alien and she knows it's a queen, and that really surprises Gediman. She doesn't tell how she knew it was a queen. Ripley 8 then says that they all are going to die. - All in the 'Company' were going to die. Wren enters, telling that the 'Company' doesn't exist anymore and lots of things have been changed since Ripley's time. Ripley 8 refuses and sates once more that they all were going to die. Wren then tells that they were planning to use the alien in the military as soon as they have been tamed. Ripley 8 says "You can't teach them tricks". Wren askes "Why? We are teaching you, aren't we?"
On board the aproaching 'Betty' the crew are making preparations. Christie are checking his guns, who are attached to his arms. Christie askes Elgyn if they are expectin trouble. Elgyn says no, but they couldn't be too sure.
Call is preparing cryotubes and Vreiss is doing some repairs on a kind of machine. Johner is making monkey sounds and trows a knife in Vreiss' leg. Call gets upset and pulls the knife out of Vreiss' leg. When Johner wants his knife back, Call breaks the blade.
The Betty are boarding inside the 'Auriga'. The crew of the 'Betty' is met with 'father' the 'Auriga's main computer and he tells about a weapons-control. There is no weapons allowed on board. General Perez shows up and Elgyn askes about the weapons control. Perez says that he don't want any of Elgyn's men to get drunk and shoot a hole in the hull.
The crew of the 'Betty' is unloading several cryotubes. They are driving the cryotubes right to the Medlab, who is off-limits for them.
Then we see people (the cargo of the cryotubes) strapped in some kind of cage, unconcious, with alien eggs in front of them. The eggs start to open, and the hugger prepares of charging.
Ripley is playing basket when the crew finds her. Johner finds Ripley 8 attractive and makes his move. He tries to get the ball, but he is always too slow. Then he urges Ripley 8 to give him the ball. She bangs the ball in the floor and it bounces up, hitting Johner in the crotch. Hillard catches the ball and throws it at Ripley 8 who easily catches it in mid air. Christie bangs a metal bar in her face, making her nose bleed. It's just like she didn't notice that she was hit. When Christie strikes again, Ripley 8 easily avoids the bar. She then takes the basket ball and hits Christie in the face with it. Then the whole thing is over. Wren enters and calls for Ripley 8. Ripley 8 whipes away the blood from her face and it ends up on the floor. The crew walks away, as the acid blood goes through the flood.
It is night and both the crew of the 'Betty' and the 'Auriga' does crew things. Hillard and Elgyn is getting into it and Perez is making his shoes shine. Vreiss is snagging repair parts for the 'Betty'. Christie, Call and Johner is watching TV-shop and is drinking.
Gediman is observing the now fully grown aliens. One of the aliens approaches the glass that seperates them from the scientists and is watching Gediman watching it. Suddenly it smacks its tongue at the glass. Gediman sprays liquid nitrogen all over them. Then the alien prepares for attack, but stops immediately when Gediman threatens to spray more liquid nitro over them.
At the same time: Call is drunk as a skunk and when she irritates Johner, he chases her away. Call staggers out of the room, and closes the door. Immediately when the door closes, Call straightens up, not drunk anymore. She makes her way to Ripley 8's cell. She identifies herself as General Perez and enters.
When she is inside, she finds Ripley 8 asleep and pulls up a knife from her shoe. She walks over to the sleeping Ripley 8 and places the knive straight over the scar on her chest. Ripley 8 wakes. Call offers to kill Ripley, but Ripley doesn't feel like dying yet. Ripley 8 belives she is Ellen Ripley, but Call tells her that she is grown in a lab, that she is a clone. Ripley asks if Call ain't going to kill her, and Call wonders why, since they had removed the alien embyro. Ripley 8 answers that they haven't removed it all the way - she could feel it inside, behind her eyes. Then she tells Call to get lost, the army fellows are looking for her. Call walks out of Ripley 8's cell only to get caught by the army guys.
The entire crew of the 'Betty' has been brought to the mess hall, all exept Vreiss, which they couldn't find. Wren is accusing Call for terrorism and tells Elgyn that by bringing a terrorist, even though they didn't know that the person was a terrorist, on a military ship, all of the crew is terrorist. Elgyn gives the sign to Christie, who shoots two guards at once. Hillard attacks one soldier. Johner reviels that his thermos flask is really a gun and shoots another soldier. Then Christie got sloppy. A soldier manages to get behind him and threatens to shoot his head off if he don't drop his guns. The soldier couldn't know that the guns were attached to Christie's arms. Johner gives Christie a hint. Christie shoots up in the air, the bullet hits the roof and ricochets back down and straight in the soldier's head. The only survivors are Wren and a soldier named DiStephano.
At the same time: Gediman is watching his pets in the cage, when suddenly two of the three aliens turn on the third, ripping it apart. It's blood is burning it's way through the cage floor and the two aliens escape. Gediman notices this and hurries to try and shower them with nitrogen, but too late - they are gone.
Gediman enters the cage to see if he can see the escaping aliens. We then see Gediman looking down a hole, burned through many decks. Suddenly an alien arm shoots up and grabs Gediman and pulls him down in the hole.
The crew of the 'Betty' is questioning Call, who has gotten into this mess. Call replies by telling about the aliens, but the other's don't belive her. Then Christie hears the message from 'father' that some cages has been opened.
One of the army guys checks out the cage where Gediman got abducted. He kicks the dead alien in the head, just to be sure that it is really dead. He then enters the cage. Just then an alien has gotten into the control room and then it activates the nitrogen shower. The army guy freezes almost immediately, breaking off his arm and then collapsing completely.
Ripley notices the escape of the aliens. The aliens tries to get into Ripley's cage.
The crew and Wren and DiStephano leaves the mess hall.
Vreiss, who is still running around snagging things hears the warnings that 'father' gives. He really don't understand much of it until he suddenly sees a dark creature above.
The crew of the 'Auriga' evacuates. All are running to the life pods, while general Perez shouts out orders to the men before they get into the life pods.
Ripley hits repeadetly on the metal covering some wires. She cuts her hand and puts blood on the wires, making a short circut. This makes the lights go out, and then on again and a door in the wall opens just as the door gives away.
The aliens are in the life-pod room. They see the last one of the army guys run into a life-pod. Just as it closes, one alien enters the pod, slaughtering the men. General Perez sees this and throws a grenade into the launch - room. The grenade gets into the life-pod. When the life-pod has been launched, General Perez activates it and the life-pod explodes in the space outside the 'Auriga'. General Perez makes a salute, just like the captain of a sinking ship. One man is left with him and suddenly the General sees that the other man is paralyzed of fear. Behind the General is an alien. It shoots it's tounge into the General's head. Perez touches the back of his head and drags something pink out of his head and then falls dead.
The Crew are on their way to the 'Betty'. They are in quite a hurry, so they don't notice when Elgyn, who were at the back, slows down and then stopps at a side corridor. In the corridor he spots a pulse rifle, the flashlight on and everything, just waiting for someone to pick it up and take it with him. Elgyn walks over and picks up the rifle. With the flashlight on the rifle, he lights up some of the corridor. Just by a turn in the corridor lays a hand gun. The rest of the crew has now noticed that Elgyn is not with them and they call for him. Elgyn walks over and picks up the gun. It has slime on it. Then an alien pulls a hole in the grid just under Elgyn's feet and he falls down. The alien grabs Elgyn, holding him. Then it kills him by shooting it's tongue straight through his back and chest. Elgyn dies just moments before the crew arrives. Hillard is completely devostated. They start pulling Elgyn up of the hole. Call can't really understand that this has happened and has stopped before she reached the crew gathered around the dead body. An alien is approaching the crew. Call is in the way, but they can't shoot it either, because it's in front of the hull. Johner draggs Call with him. The crew runs down the corridor, just to find out that it is a dead end. The alien walks calmly towards them, sensing it is no hurry. Elgyn's dead body suddenly moves a bit. The alien stops and turns around, just to check out why it moved. It puts its face next to the hole in Elgyn's chest when suddenly a gun is pushed out of the hole and shoots the alien's brains out and it dies. The crew is paralyzed. They prepare for the worst when Elgyn's body is more or less thrown out of the hole. Then a pulse rifle is thrown out of the hole and Ripley climes out. The crew lower their guns. Christie is eager to move on. Hillard is mourning over her fallen mate. Johner wants to wait and let the army guys do their job. Call replies angrily that all the army guys are dead. Then Johner says that they don't anymore need Wren and pulls his gun at Wren. DiStephano pulls his gun at Johner. Christie pulls his gun at DiStephano, telling him to calm down. Then Christie asks Wren if the alien that killed Elgyn was his little pet science project. Wren confirmes and Christie wants to kill him on the spot. Christie then ask how many more aliens there are. Wren answers 12. Ripley says that there will be more. Then she asks who she has to fuck to get off the ship. Johner says he could help her, but not off the ship. Christie wants to leave, but Call don't trust Ripley and tells the other ones that they shouldn't either. Christie tells Call that he don't trust anyone. Ripley smiles kind of vicious at Call. Then she kneels and sticks her hand into the alien's mouth. She pulls out the tongue and gives it to Call. -It could make a good souvenir. Call throws it away in discust.
The crew still marches towards the 'Betty'. Call tells Ripley that she didn't belive that Ripley killed one of the aliens - it would be like killing her own kind. Ripley answers that the alien was in her way.
They are walking by an elevator, when suddenly a light turns green. Christie points his gun at the elevator. It is Vreiss. Vreiss is happy to see his 'buddies' again, not aliens. Johner thinks that they should leave Vreiss, since he would slow them down. -No offence. Vreiss shows his finger. - None taken. Hillard says that noone is to be left, not even Johner. Ripley suddenly states that the ship is moving, and it has been moving since the attach. Wren says that if an emergency rises, the ship is programmed to go to homebase - Earth. They got three hours until they reach earth. Call suggests at once to blow up the ship. Christie grabs her by the neck and says that she is not going to blow the ship up with them on board.
They walks in a side corridor. Johner apporaches Ripley and asks if she didn't encounter these aliens before. Ripley confirms. Johner asks what she did. - I died, Ripley answers. Johner slows down. He just realized how much trouble they were in.
