Spectrum&amp;#39;s first location, commonly known as &amp;quot; Chris P&amp;#39;s Alien &amp;amp; Pred Site&amp;quot; changed its name due to a personal decision made by Chris.P. because he believed the site needed a more &amp;quot;Community friendly&amp;quot; name, one that could represent not only one indivdual running the site, but a group effort made by the early members. Fromt then on Spectrum was from then on called: &amp;quot;AVP Spectrum&amp;quot;, Spectrum meaning &amp;quot;..Of all angles, and sides..&amp;quot; translated to bring you all that we can from everywhere, when relating to Alien, Predator and Alien Versus Predator news and events. Spectrum is now more common with supplying accurate news based on the franchises, but keeps its initial view of supporting its community, and advertising community news and events. So, as past experiences served, Spectrum is now back to being hosted by Webs.com, but this time, Spectrum packs a bigger punch. With the addition of the NSG games, along with this dramatic change, Spectrum should flourish into more than just a site, but a place enjoyed by fans anywhere. Be sure to join the new location. - Thank you.&lt;/font&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/td&gt;  &lt;td bgcolor=&quot;#191919&quot; class=&quot;&quot; width=&quot;33%&quot;&gt;  &lt;font color=&quot;#ffff00&quot;

The name of the thread should be the name of your character with one of these : (ALIEN), (PREDATOR), (MARINE), beside it WITH Brackets depending on the wanted faction you want to join.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;7- To join other members in a joint effort, you must state so in a seperate post like the following:&lt;br&gt;-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;br&gt;(post): __________(your name) have become allied with ___________(friend&amp;#39;s name).&lt;br&gt;...awaiting approvement&lt;br&gt;-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;br&gt;*The &amp;quot;...awaitning approvement&amp;quot; is required, and if the team is approved, you will see or recieve a PM stating that you are approved, or not approved. From there, go back to this post and modify it to say in place of the &amp;quot;...awaiting approvement&amp;quot; to &amp;quot;APPROVED&amp;quot;.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;8- Your team could be dis-approved due to too many players joining, and in that case it being unfair to the other players.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;9- When you are a team, your currency income is significantly shortened and split between the team-mates as opposed to one player recieving all the currency by themselves.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;10- Currency will be kept track of by an Administrator, and will be shown on your custom signature.(made by an Administrator).&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;11- Security will be VERY high, to ensure smoothe gameplay.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;12- Team-mates can NOT give money to eachother. If one of you run out, you beter hope you can fin a way to make some quick, or your enemies will double, triple, etc.. and will eliminate you in a short period of time.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;13- You need money to survive in this game. Skill is just as important. Stratagise your motions, and be patient.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;14- Controlling a base (for Marines and Preadtors) will supply you with constant income and defence.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;15- All bases supply an extra 100 defence points to your defence count.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;16- Attacking enemy units: 1. Follow the above format.&lt;br&gt;2. If your attack point count equals that of your opponents defence count, then your skill count can add on to it, to help you in defeating your enemy.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;17- Defending against attack: 1. If your defence is higher than your opponent&amp;#39;s(s&amp;#39;) attack value, then you survive, and have the ability to strike back.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;18- Abilities:&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;- Abilities are given by Administrators to players for doing extreme motions on the battlefield. &lt;br&gt;- Abilities can be bought for alot of money like you would order units. &lt;br&gt;- Abilities are added onto your post when you : 1. move, 2. attack, 3. defend.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;19&amp;gt;&amp;gt;&amp;gt; Ordering Units have been cancelled. &amp;lt;&amp;lt;&amp;lt;&amp;lt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;20- When you are deployed with troops, they will be added to your signature as a visual.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;21- The max number of units depends on your faction.(allied groups have limits)&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;22- Alien hives can only be destroyed after all Aliens are eliminated.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;23- Hive webbing is cheap for the Alien faction, and can easily grow a well, healthy hive without much income at all. So don&amp;#39;t worry about destroying their hive space, rather focus on destroying them, themselves.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;24- Each map will tell you which faction has a higher chance for success depending on layout, and environment. Don&amp;#39;t be affraid of a challange.&lt;br&gt;***   &lt;br&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::&lt;/div&gt;     &lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;So, this may be hard to understand, but as you create your character in the &amp;quot;Character Creator Board&amp;quot;, and it is approved, you go from there to join a story to begin your character&amp;#39;s journy through this life.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;When you complete (win OR loose) a game, unless killed, you stick with that character through all other games.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;For example:&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I create a character named: &amp;quot;silver-claw&amp;quot;. (Predator)&lt;br&gt;It is approved.&lt;br&gt;I start a game: like &amp;quot;Eldakr&amp;#39;En&amp;quot;.&lt;br&gt;I finish that game.&lt;br&gt;I want to join a new game.&lt;br&gt;When I start/join that new game after my &amp;quot;origination&amp;quot; game, I am the same character, at the same level (Hunter, Warrior, or Elder), with whatever credit/cash ammount I had in my account before, along with upgrades.&lt;br&gt;I join by stating something like: &amp;quot;... Silver-Claw landed at the crash site just east of the other clan members, and is making his way to the Alien hive(2 days distance)...&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;You being of this &amp;quot;Skill level&amp;quot; can form alliances with other characters(members) of the same faction, and have a jump on the competition.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;*This is the same for all factions.*   &lt;div align=&quot;center&quot;&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;You will see many refferences to &amp;quot;attack and defence points&amp;quot; throughout the [NSG] online games.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;These are the ways in which players will conquer eachother and grow to dominate.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Attack Values are kept track of by the custom signature, aswell as the defence values.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Attack and Defence values can increase depending on what the player purchases as upgrades or abilities.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;When attacking, please follow the below format:&lt;br&gt;____________________________________________________&lt;br&gt;(post):&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;________(name) moves up to east wall and waits. &lt;br&gt;SNEAK ability&lt;br&gt;________(name) attacks _________(enemy&amp;#39;s name) with the ________(attack).&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Attack value= ****&lt;br&gt;____________________________________________________&lt;br&gt;Following this post, the player who is being attacked can reply with this:&lt;br&gt;____________________________________________________&lt;br&gt;(post reply):&lt;br&gt;__________(name of defender) is being attacked by ___________(attacker).&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;________________(whatever defence action you choose to use)&lt;br&gt;Defence value= ****&lt;br&gt;_________________________(defeated OR defended)&lt;br&gt;____________________________________________________&lt;br&gt;If the defence value is larger than the attack value, then you state &amp;quot;defended&amp;quot; under the defence value line. Otherwise state &amp;quot;defeated&amp;quot;. Ib this case, if you are &amp;quot;killed&amp;quot;, then you must remove that player from the game. You may still play with your extra players if you have any.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;*An Administratot will take care of this for you, as we moniter each game every day.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;b&gt;!!! These &amp;quot;examples&amp;quot; and formats are guidlines to help the other players understand what is going on. But, PLEASE add on to the post with a short story clip of how your character got to where they are, and what they are doing. Make it interresting !!!&lt;/b&gt;   &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;For those of you who want to know why your signatures will be changed when you join this game, here are your answers:&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;1- Your signature now will not only identify your name, but it will be like your entire game ID card. It will consist of an image(s) depending on what faction you join, your currency load, as it is tracked through purchases and incomes, it will also have your extra unit counts on it, as they are added, and taken away(destroyed).&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;2- I will try to make them as visually appealing as possible.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot;&gt; &lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;&lt;a class=&quot;external&quot; href=&quot;http://avpspectrum.wetpaint.comhttp://www.avpspectrum.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=characters&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Create your character Today!&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;hr size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&lt;br/&gt;</description></item><item><title>PREDATOR Club &quot;Home&quot;</title><link>http://avpspectrum.wetpaint.com/page/PREDATOR+Club+%22Home%22</link><author>Chris.P.</author><guid isPermaLink="false">http://avpspectrum.wetpaint.com/page/PREDATOR+Club+%22Home%22</guid><pubDate>Tue, 11 Nov 2008 17:16:57 CST</pubDate><description>&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;   &lt;/div&gt;Welcome new members, and/or old members.

The small pod ship was descending in the Ooman planet atmosphere. He was fully equipped, the Kehrite had been fogged with his musk, and his mind was set. He was as ready as a Yautja hunter could be. The twin, metallic blades glistened in the dull light of his room. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;And then- The small display screen lit up with the word: REPORT: Report. He sprang off of his cot and took a final glance at his room. On the wall were two of his most prized possessions: the skull of Kainde Amedha and his father&amp;rsquo;s mask. The mask he wore while Ju&amp;rsquo;a watched the Queen Kainde Amedha disembowel him and allow her brood to feast on the corpse. It was his only remnant. Without remorse, Ju&amp;rsquo;a ran out of his room, ki&amp;rsquo;cti-pa clanking against the shoulder burner&amp;rsquo;s energy pack. Soon, very soon, his ship would land on the Ooman planet. But this was no ordinary Hunt. Ju&amp;rsquo;a&amp;rsquo;s clan was all about challenge, discipline, honor, so this trip was for one thing: challenge. They would enter a frozen part of the planet and fight Oomans. He was so impatient, so ready, or so he thought&amp;hellip; The ship was rocketing downward; bumps rattled Ju&amp;rsquo;a every inch of the way. Hopefully his Elder, Gri&amp;rsquo;yinde would be ready for the second-hardest Hunt of their lives. The cabin certainly smelled of Blooded musk. Even with only three Yautja there, it smelled like an army. Ju&amp;rsquo;a clicked anxiously and stared out the largest window. The planet&amp;rsquo;s surface was increasing in height and breadth quickly. It&amp;rsquo;s colors formed a cacophony of greens, blues, and whites, all of which Ju&amp;rsquo;a&amp;rsquo;s mask sorted into hot, cool, radioactive, and polluted. But Ju&amp;rsquo;a closed his eyes to steady himself. Mere seconds later, the pod landed in the middle of Canadian wilderness. Unbeknownst to all Oomans around, there was a new hunter. Ju&amp;rsquo;a stretched graciously and clicked to Gri&amp;rsquo;yinde. &amp;ldquo;The Oomans, are there many here?&amp;rdquo; Gri&amp;rsquo;yinde stopped fooling with a crooked piece of awu&amp;rsquo;asa and looked at Ju&amp;rsquo;a. &amp;ldquo;Not from the scans, there aren&amp;rsquo;t. But surely any Ooman in this threatening wilderness must be a formidable opponent, no matter how few.&amp;rdquo; Ju&amp;rsquo;a took the response and decided to turn on his heating system. It wasn&amp;rsquo;t long before electro-generated heat wormed threw the mesh he wore all over. It would be short before they left, but Ju&amp;rsquo;a took the time to make sure none of his gear malfunctioned. It was short-lived, his checkup. Gri&amp;rsquo;yinde got them together and discussed what they were there to do and what not to do. &amp;ldquo;May Cetanu guide us. We will stay for a day on this planet. We need merely one skull to prove that we braved these conditions. I don&amp;rsquo;t think it will be as difficult as your Blooding Hunt, but it will be close. If one should fall, may the Black Warrior treat them kindly. Don&amp;rsquo;t try and stop the inevitable,&amp;rdquo; Gri&amp;rsquo;yinde finished with a roar that emitted honor, wisdom, and restlessness. Ju&amp;rsquo;a and his other companion, Jehdin, roared consecutively and then the three cloaked themselves and ran into the frozen forest. Rocks, snow, and trees were the only things visible. Trees and snow were more abundant, however. Ju&amp;rsquo;a leapt from one smooth branch to another with expert skill and then swung down to the next-lowest level. He had spotted an Ooman vehicle. It was just for transportation, according to the scan, which found no weapons. The other two had seen it too. Gri&amp;rsquo;yinde clicked a precautious warning. It meant that the Ooman was unarmed and, therefore, unworthy of trophy taking. Ju&amp;rsquo;a looked around, perhaps he could score first kill. Indeed, there were other Oomans. It looked like a caravan of transportation-only vehicles. He could see the heat signatures from the Oomans inside, but they weren&amp;rsquo;t very helpful. Ju&amp;rsquo;a called to Gri&amp;rsquo;yinde. &amp;ldquo;Perhaps we can follow them to a settlement!&amp;rdquo; Gri&amp;rsquo;yinde, on his perch meters away, responded with a terse nod and then relayed the message to Jehdin. The three Yautja jumped from tree to tree with unmatched stealth. They were almost invisible and the Oomans were unsuspecting. It looked like a good Hunt was arising&amp;hellip; Ju&amp;rsquo;a was perched nine or ten meters above the snowy ground. Chilly wind barely penetrated the heat that the mesh provided. He clicked anxiously. The Oomans didn&amp;rsquo;t lead them to a settlement. They stopped in the middle of the wilderness. Numerous vehicles and two Oomans to each vehicle. And even better: every Ooman was armed. The scans said that the weapons could do mild damage that, if taken in vast amounts, could lead to death. But the Oomans talked amongst themselves, unaware of the silent hunters that stalked them. Ju&amp;rsquo;a recorded the Oomans talking, just in case he needed it. He only recorded to things: A grumbling noise that could have been laughter or yelling, and the phrase: &amp;ldquo;I&amp;rsquo;d rather run through a meth lab while on fire.&amp;rdquo; Ju&amp;rsquo;a also recorded, &amp;ldquo;When Hell freezes over, Hatchfield.&amp;rdquo; He had no idea what the significance of each saying was, but he needed the mimicry, he knew he would. Ju&amp;rsquo;a recognized the crack of a weapon being fired. He&amp;rsquo;d heard other Oomans do it. He crouched and looked around. The Oomans were silent and one was holding a weapon in the air. A silencing shot? Ju&amp;rsquo;a watched as the Oomans moved into two groups and then set off in different ways. He would have and could have struck, if he felt the need to attract all of their attention. Ju&amp;rsquo;a was not that careless or suicidal. He turned to Gri&amp;rsquo;yinde, who was now on his branch. &amp;ldquo;We split up. Return to the ship when you&amp;rsquo;re satisfied.&amp;rdquo; With that, Gri&amp;rsquo;yinde jumped down to the ground and landed with a heavy thud that sent the powdery snow flying upward. But it was no matter: the Elder was gone too quick. Ju&amp;rsquo;a hadn&amp;rsquo;t seen Jehdin go, but he figured that he was alone now. The Ooman possessions were far, he jumped down and ran on foot to catch up quickly. It was not simple, evading the Oomans, even though they were far. He had to run off the path and keep an eye on them. His thick, black &amp;ldquo;dreadlocks&amp;rdquo; bounced as he sprinted. His awu&amp;rsquo;asa clanked and his weapons did too. His feet were chilled, but not unbearable and his mask was constantly switching vision modes to check for all sorts of things. Ju&amp;rsquo;a was ready for honor beyond honor. &lt;br&gt;  &lt;div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Garamond&quot; size=&quot;4&quot;&gt;PART 2&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;The Ooman group was making raucous noises. They walked at an easily manageable pace. Ju&amp;rsquo;a had only once been put on edge when one Ooman fired a weapon at an animal. Ju&amp;rsquo;a leapt into a nearby tree for assured safety and realized that this was a hunting party. Not too unlike his. &lt;br&gt;Ju&amp;rsquo;a watched as three Oomans kicked the half-living animal and then fired a shot into the skull. &lt;br&gt;What a shame, Ju&amp;rsquo;a thought. The cruel Oomans took no pride in their kill, there was no honor. &lt;br&gt;And Ju&amp;rsquo;a smiled inwardly as the three Oomans lifted the animal out of the bloody snow and teetered past his perch. They were alone. The rest of the party continued without them; they walked back toward the vehicles. &lt;br&gt;Ju&amp;rsquo;a cloaked himself and crawled along a branch. &lt;br&gt;He froze. &lt;br&gt;&amp;ldquo;Hey, Joel, d&amp;rsquo;you hear that?&amp;rdquo; An Ooman voice was analyzed and found to be cautious in tone. Ju&amp;rsquo;a&amp;rsquo;s nerves were taut and his musk dissipated in the air. The Oomans heard something. &lt;br&gt;&amp;ldquo;Just an animal. Come on, I wanta get this deer back to the truck and get me some more!&amp;rdquo; Luckily for Ju&amp;rsquo;a, the scans indicated a relaxed tone. &lt;br&gt;He wasted no time, the Oomans were almost out of his leaping range. So he jumped straight down like a pod would fall to the planet below. Snow was kicked up and thrown outward in a ring. The Oomans dropped the corpse and toted their weapons directly at Ju&amp;rsquo;a. &lt;br&gt;He switched visions to the Infrared spectrum and then extended his dah&amp;rsquo;kte and ki&amp;rsquo;cti-pa. The Oomans fired their weapons. &lt;br&gt;Ju&amp;rsquo;a rolled to the left, flipped forward, and then jumped over the three Oomans. His unparalleled speed left the three perplexed. &lt;br&gt;They each turned slowly, tremulously. The closest dropped his weapon and cowered. Ju&amp;rsquo;a brought his knee up and smashed the Ooman&amp;rsquo;s face. Then he swiped his dah&amp;rsquo;kte, which left two jagged tears in the prey&amp;rsquo;s face. &lt;br&gt;But then the others screamed, fired. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Ju&amp;rsquo;a ducked, doing little due to his shoulder width and height, but the spasmodic hunters missed, nonetheless. He then proceeded with his ruthless slaughter of the prey. The last hunters were now on both sides of him. &lt;br&gt;Ju&amp;rsquo;a made sure to stay unharmed. He twirled his ki&amp;rsquo;cti-pa in expert fashion and then adeptly brought it around him in a full circle. One Ooman grabbed his gut, blood seeped through his fingers and then he fell into the powdery, white snow, which was now slowly converting to red. &lt;br&gt;The other Ooman was luckier. Only his leg had been scathed. Unlike Yautja, he was on his back, waving at Ju&amp;rsquo;a in a universal motion that meant: &amp;ldquo;Stop! No! No more!&amp;rdquo; But Ju&amp;rsquo;a wasn&amp;rsquo;t merciful. The Ooman was cruel and brought its fate upon itself. Ju&amp;rsquo;a was happy to grip the Ooman&amp;rsquo;s head and slowly, precisely, cut off slice its neck open. &lt;br&gt;The next few minutes were glorious ones. Ju&amp;rsquo;a had found himself a perch in a tree and then began to skin his victims, take their skulls and spines, and then hang them up. It was a simple, yet precarious process. Even for the best Elder Yautja it would be precarious. &lt;br&gt;Ju&amp;rsquo;a first took the spinal columns and skulls. Then he groped his belt for the small epidermal remover. He opened the compact device and slowly moved it just beneath the skin. For three corpses, it took Ju&amp;rsquo;a what seemed like an eternity to remove all flesh.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;A Charming Font Superexpanded&quot; size=&quot;7&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Garamond&quot; size=&quot;4&quot;&gt;PART 2 CONTINUED&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;The sanguinary leftovers diffused throughout the snow. The final Ooman was strung into up into the tree, Ju&amp;rsquo;a made perfectly sure to cut out the spinal column and skull and hang them onto his hunting mesh. &lt;br&gt;For fear of being spotted, he did not roar the roar he deserved. He did not proclaim his honor: the honor of killing three Oomans in this frozen death-land. Instead, he saved it inside and savored the feeling, waiting to express it during one of his many Hunt-speaks. &lt;br&gt;Ju&amp;rsquo;a climbed down, placing each foot carefully, and away from the tree. He was ready to add on some honor to his already growing ego. Little did Ju&amp;rsquo;a know, though he had killed three, egotism wasn&amp;rsquo;t an honorable treat and the gods above would see to it that he would be humbled.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;High above the Oomans&amp;rsquo; home planet, the Elders, Young Bloods, Unblooded, and Technicians orbited in their mothership. They watched each Yautja below and waited for them to send out signals of distress or, maybe, satisfaction. &lt;br&gt;This Hunt was realistically a trial set in place by the reigning Elders of the clan: T&amp;rsquo;vor-kdi, M-kyim, and the oldest, Hy&amp;rsquo;urik-da. They were curious how deadly this planet really was. Would Kainde Amedha flourish on this Ooman home planet? Surely that would take away the option of hunting Ooman and, though that was incredibly bad, give them a planet filled to the brim with Kainde Amedha. Many of the matrons could be hunted down for honor, it would be a planet that could be hunting ground at any beckoning call. &lt;br&gt;Lij&amp;rsquo;uka walked down one of the ship&amp;rsquo;s many, long corridors. It was more of a running stride. The Elders would be pleased to hear about this. One of the Blooded warriors, Ju&amp;rsquo;a, had sent in transmissions and active weaponry feeds. &lt;br&gt;The door was already open, semi-arched and oval-shaped. Lij&amp;rsquo;uka stepped in and was instantly met by the hard, piercing gazes of the three Elders. The noble ones. &lt;br&gt;&amp;ldquo;Lij&amp;rsquo;uka, have we gotten any information of the hunters?&amp;rdquo; M-kyim asked immediately. As if he didn&amp;rsquo;t know. The three Elders had constant reports of everything on the ship. They already had the holographic displays of the Ooman planet open before them. Surely they were monitoring the small hunting procession. Lij&amp;rsquo;uka was forced to do this because he wasn&amp;rsquo;t chosen to hunt. No, the warrior Jehdin had beaten him in a sparring match. Beaten him by a lot, although it was disgraceful to say so. &lt;br&gt;&amp;ldquo;Yes, M-kyim. We have received an animated signal from Ju&amp;rsquo;a and also a full weaponry and equipment evaluation.&amp;rdquo; Lij&amp;rsquo;uka stared into their eyes. Some would take it as a challenge, but not in this clan. &lt;br&gt;The Elders motioned for Lij&amp;rsquo;uka to approach and he did. He walked to their monitors and expertly drew his talons across strips and tapped keys. Soon, an opaque image was placed in the air in front of the Elders. It was Ju&amp;rsquo;a as he massacred three pitiful Oomans. The video kept going until Ju&amp;rsquo;a spoke while hanging the flayed corpses. &lt;br&gt;&amp;ldquo;This planet is fine for hunting. This frozen death-land is horrible; I wouldn&amp;rsquo;t come back here unless it was for recreational hunting of a Kainde Amedha matron. I find the Oomans on their planet are ignorant and dishonorable and easier to kill, though they are surely stronger in some regions. Perhaps I will kill a few more and find my comrades.&amp;rdquo; The video broke off, rather, Ju&amp;rsquo;a shut it off. &lt;br&gt;Next, Hy&amp;rsquo;urik-da spoke his sagacious words. &amp;ldquo;Well, Ju&amp;rsquo;a, excellent. That&amp;rsquo;s what we plan on using this planet for. Lij&amp;rsquo;uka, bring up the weapons and equipment report.&amp;rdquo; Lij&amp;rsquo;uka did as he was told, tapping more keys and moving his fingers along more strips. The screen was replaced by a circular diagram of everything the hunters had used. &lt;br&gt;&amp;ldquo;It seems,&amp;rdquo; T&amp;rsquo;vor-kdi began, scrolling through the images. &amp;ldquo;That they&amp;rsquo;ve mainly used ki&amp;rsquo;cti-pa, none have used shoulder burners. Ju&amp;rsquo;a is the only one to use the epidermal removal device and the only one to use dah&amp;rsquo;kte. Reports indicate that Ju&amp;rsquo;a, while they all used ki&amp;rsquo;cti-pa, is the only one to take combative action&amp;hellip;&amp;rdquo; A beeping sound echoed in the chamber. &lt;br&gt;Lij&amp;rsquo;uka looked at a smaller screen. &amp;ldquo;Incoming equipment tally from Jehdin.&amp;rdquo; He instantly pulled up a new diagram. &lt;br&gt;&amp;ldquo;It looks as though our other warrior, the young blood Jehdin, has used his medical devices.&amp;rdquo; T&amp;rsquo;vor-kdi announced, though it was there for everyone to see. &lt;br&gt;M-kyim continued, &amp;ldquo;He is the only one. I wonder how bad his injuries are.&amp;rdquo; &lt;br&gt;The room fell silent as the four Yautja were all looking up things on the monitors. But then, Hy&amp;rsquo;urik-da broke the silence. &amp;ldquo;Lij&amp;rsquo;uka, prepare the canister for deployment.&amp;rdquo; &lt;br&gt;&amp;ldquo;Yes, Elder.&amp;rdquo; Lij&amp;rsquo;uka walked away from the room and onto the next. The secure hatchery&amp;hellip;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Ju&amp;rsquo;a hadn&amp;rsquo;t seen any other Yautja or any other Oomans, for that matter. He&amp;rsquo;d heard gunfire, probably more dishonorable hunting. &lt;br&gt;But then he heard it. The faint growl, then Yautja clicks, gibberish really. Then a roar. He traced the noise with a Doppler analyzer and found the origin to be quite far away. His mask had amplified the noise tenfold. &lt;br&gt;It didn&amp;rsquo;t take long. The snow was a minor hindrance, the ice was avoidable. The tress weren&amp;rsquo;t dense at all, making it simple to run between them. Ju&amp;rsquo;a knew that he heard a distressed Yautja, knew that it probably wasn&amp;rsquo;t Gri&amp;rsquo;yinde. What he found, agreed with his instincts. &lt;br&gt;Jehdin was lying in a pool of phosphorescent blood. His medical kit lay scattered about, the materials used. Ju&amp;rsquo;a ran to Jehdin&amp;rsquo;s side, kneeled down. He pulled out his medical kit and began to unpack cauterizing materials. He broken branches off of a downed tree and threw them into the mixture, turned on the flame, and then was left with a glowing blue gel. &lt;br&gt;Ju&amp;rsquo;a and Jehdin spread the mixture onto the many holes that dotted Jehdin&amp;rsquo;s torso and abdomen. Though he wore armor, he was always short of the large chest guard. &lt;br&gt;&amp;ldquo;How did the Oomans do this to you?&amp;rdquo; Ju&amp;rsquo;a kept spreading the gel; Jehdin grumbled with every placement. The wounds began to stop bleeding. &lt;br&gt;&amp;ldquo;I was perched, waiting. When&amp;hellip;&amp;rdquo; He grumbled louder as the gel was moved over top of a larger hole. &amp;ldquo;When I jumped down, the Oomans were waiting for me. I cloaked, but they fired anyway. Their frenetic aiming didn&amp;rsquo;t allow them to get a good shot but they hit me, nonetheless.&amp;rdquo; Ju&amp;rsquo;a nodded and stood up, put the materials of his kit away, and then put Jehdin&amp;rsquo;s material away. Jehdin looked around and removed his mask, stretching his mandibles. Ju&amp;rsquo;a situated the medical kit next to Jehdin and turned around. &lt;br&gt;&amp;ldquo;Fire! Kill the s.o.b.!&amp;rdquo; The Ooman yelled. Ju&amp;rsquo;a instinctively reacted by turning on the cloak and jumping into the leafless branches of a tree. He felt a hot object penetrate his thigh, the pain was bearable. He heard a lot more shots than he felt. Then he heard a faint beep within the fray. He knew that sound, he knew it well. He was intent on getting away that area. &lt;br&gt;The heavy needles of the trees were swished away as Ju&amp;rsquo;a jumped, leaped, bounded from branch to branch. His jumps were longer than he though he could ever jumped. But then- &lt;br&gt;He was thrown, he didn&amp;rsquo;t jump. He flew forward into a tree&amp;rsquo;s trunk, smashing his head and falling into a mound of snow. It covered him but melted slowly from the heat that coursed through his mesh. &lt;br&gt;Foolish Jehdin, Ju&amp;rsquo;a thought. This was a Hunt with your brethren! You don&amp;rsquo;t put their lives at risk! Surely honor comes after the honor of your brothers in clans. &lt;br&gt;Ju&amp;rsquo;a couldn&amp;rsquo;t comprehend Jehdin&amp;rsquo;s thought process before he activated the wrist gauntlet bomb. The nuclear device used for honorable death. All he knew was that their position was just given away to every Ooman in this area and he needed to find Gri&amp;rsquo;yinde. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Garamond&quot; size=&quot;4&quot;&gt;PART 3&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The small, domed canister rocketed down to the Ooman planet. It looked like a shooting star, but it was secretly a deadly plague that would befall every Ooman. What looked like an innocent streak would cause so much chaos. Make a wish upon a shooting star&amp;hellip;.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Ju&amp;rsquo;a ran around charred trees, just trees that were caught on the outskirts. Far from the blast, yet still burnt. He wound through them; maybe he could send a transmission asking for an evacuation and a feed on Gri&amp;rsquo;yinde. &lt;br&gt;&amp;ldquo;Lij&amp;rsquo;uka! I need an evacuation, now! I know you read that weapon analytic, Jehdin just decided to claim honor, rather than conceal us!&amp;rdquo; Ju&amp;rsquo;a spoke, knowing that the vocal transmitter on his right wrist would pick it up, minus the static from the wind as Ju&amp;rsquo;a ran through the forest. His helmet received the next thing, a map. &lt;br&gt;&amp;ldquo;Black Warrior have mercy upon you, Lij&amp;rsquo;uka!&amp;rdquo; Ju&amp;rsquo;a looked at the small, circular map, which had popped up on his mask display, and studied his path simultaneously; it wasn&amp;rsquo;t an easy task. Gri&amp;rsquo;yinde was mere kilometers away&amp;hellip;but&amp;hellip;Ju&amp;rsquo;a skidded to a halt and turned toward the blast. Gri&amp;rsquo;yinde was in the center of the big, glowing circle that registered as the blast site on Ju&amp;rsquo;a&amp;rsquo;s mini-map. &lt;br&gt;He approached the edge of the crater. It was large but not abnormal for the wrist bomb. Ju&amp;rsquo;a didn&amp;rsquo;t see Gri&amp;rsquo;yinde at first, but then he saw his Elder in the center of the pit, crouching down with his head *****ed at an angle. &lt;br&gt;&amp;ldquo;Gri&amp;rsquo;yinde! Elder! They are going to evacuate us, let&amp;rsquo;s go!&amp;rdquo; Gri&amp;rsquo;yinde wasn&amp;rsquo;t apprehensive; he stopped his Words of Passing ceremony and scaled the wall of the crater. &lt;br&gt;His deep, raspy voice reverberated off the sides of the depression. &amp;ldquo;How long until they arrive?!&amp;rdquo; Ju&amp;rsquo;a reached down to help the Elder over the edge. &amp;ldquo;I don&amp;rsquo;t know, I was too busy getting a map and finding you. &lt;br&gt;Now Gri&amp;rsquo;yinde spoke, his words transmitted. &amp;ldquo;M-kyim, how long until the evacuator is sent?&amp;rdquo; There was no answer, just the rhythmic beeping that meant &amp;ldquo;Wait, we&amp;rsquo;re talking&amp;rdquo;. &lt;br&gt;&amp;ldquo;Hold on, Ju&amp;rsquo;a.&amp;rdquo; Gri&amp;rsquo;yinde and Ju&amp;rsquo;a waited impatiently as the three other Elders discussed their plans. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Sergeant Major John Whitback studied the Canadian wilderness. The setting sun cast a brilliant glow on the snow that covered the ground and each layer of the trees. Auras of gold, orange, and red reflected up into the sky. It was like a sea of color. &lt;br&gt;It was about the only thing he could do, no talking because the helicopter&amp;rsquo;s propellers made hearing impossible. The others were sitting, waiting to see what had caused the nuclear blast in the middle of nowhere. He sat foremost, looking over the pilot&amp;rsquo;s seat trying to get an idea of what had happened. &lt;br&gt;He saw forest&amp;hellip;snow&amp;hellip;and then he saw a gigantic hole in the wilderness. Like some mad god had taken a hammer and slammed it down on the Earth. The crater was easily as big as three football fields across. The deepest part was probably forty feet down, maybe forty-five. And the trees around the area were incinerated; the ones on the outermost skirting were charred. &lt;br&gt;&amp;ldquo;What in good God&amp;hellip;&amp;rdquo; He mumbled to himself. Maybe they needed some scientists. This wasn&amp;rsquo;t a regular blast, a regular one would&amp;rsquo;ve been much bigger and it wouldn&amp;rsquo;t have eradicated such a perfect circle of land. &lt;br&gt;The chopper began to descend, making a beeline for the crater. And as if the mad god was now the god of irony, Whitback saw a shooting star going down to Earth and he remembered what he would&amp;rsquo;ve said to his daughter: &amp;ldquo;Make a wish.&amp;rdquo; &lt;br&gt;Whitback knew his wish, he wished he knew what did this and hoped to God it wasn&amp;rsquo;t hostile. More preeminently, he hoped it was human. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;M-kyim was thoroughly opposed to the plan. There was no sense in it! Leaving their own down on Earth to be the regulators of their new hunting territory? No one could regulate Kainde Amedha, especially not an Elder and a Blooded Yautja. It was basically leaving their clan members for dead. &lt;br&gt;&amp;ldquo;No. I will not partake in your scandalous, dishonorable activities! We&amp;rsquo;ll evacuate them, leave the planet to fester in the Kainde Amedhas&amp;rsquo; scum, come back, Hunt, and we&amp;rsquo;ll move on!&amp;rdquo;&lt;br&gt;T&amp;rsquo;vor-kdi countered, &amp;ldquo;You fool! The Oomans will surely spot our evacuators and then try to kill us! We should just leave them to handle the Kainde Amedha, if they survive we&amp;rsquo;ll pick them up on the next Hunt.&amp;rdquo; &lt;br&gt;The next interjection came from Lij&amp;rsquo;uka. &amp;ldquo;There is an Ooman vessel flying straight at Ju&amp;rsquo;a and Gri&amp;rsquo;yinde. If we decided to evacuate, do it now.&amp;rdquo; He had been called back to the room after releasing the pod with the Kainde Amedha egg. Pity. He didn&amp;rsquo;t like the Elders&amp;rsquo; room, it was stuffy and they always fought about things; though their Hunt-speaks were interesting to listen in on. &lt;br&gt;M-kyim replied, &amp;ldquo;Send the evacuation vessel, Lij&amp;rsquo;uka!&amp;rdquo; As the Blooded hunter began to reach for the button that told the pilots to go, Hy&amp;rsquo;urik-da interrupted with a shove. &lt;br&gt;&amp;ldquo;You will do no such thing, Blooded warrior. Listen to your Elder and leave!&amp;rdquo; Lij&amp;rsquo;uka was happy to oblige, he scuttled out of the room. As he stepped into the arched corridor that extended left and right, the door closed and he heard a dull clatter in the Elders&amp;rsquo; chamber. &lt;br&gt;&amp;ldquo;Huh&amp;hellip;&amp;rdquo; Lij&amp;rsquo;uka walked to his room and dismissed the noise, not wanting to return that quickly. &lt;br&gt;On the other side of the door, M-kyim lay on the floor, dead. The dah&amp;rsquo;kte were pulled out of his head by his fellow Elder, T&amp;rsquo;vor-kdi.&lt;br&gt;&amp;ldquo;Now, no hindrances, just future Hunts.&amp;rdquo; Hy&amp;rsquo;urik-da said with a joyous expression. He moved away from the panel that held the button to rescue Ju&amp;rsquo;a and Gri&amp;rsquo;yinde. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;ldquo;Ju&amp;rsquo;a, are you there?&amp;rdquo; Lij&amp;rsquo;uka spoke into the private transmitter he had in his quarters. The crackly old antique emitted some bits of speech. &amp;ldquo;Yes&amp;hellip;evac&amp;hellip;comi&amp;hellip;when&amp;hellip;Lij&amp;hellip;&amp;rdquo; &lt;br&gt;&amp;ldquo;I can barely hear you on,&amp;rdquo; Lij&amp;rsquo;uka tapped the transmitter, &amp;ldquo;this old piece of junk. But I am sending you this on a secure frequency. The Elders are sending down a canister with a Kainde Amedha egg. I don&amp;rsquo;t think the evacuation is coming. The Elders are leaving you and Gri&amp;rsquo;yinde there to monitor the nest activity. They&amp;rsquo;re using the Oomans&amp;rsquo; planet as a giant hunting ground and if you two survive for the years it flourishes, you two get saved.&amp;rdquo; &lt;br&gt;Static. Lij&amp;rsquo;uka tapped the small, pendant-shaped device. Then he pounded it into bits. His rashness was annoying for him, now he had no way of contacting the hunters below. He&amp;rsquo;d have to do something. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Ju&amp;rsquo;a clenched his teeth and flared his mandibles as far as they could expand in his mask. Gri&amp;rsquo;yinde was walking around, taking his anger out in a few choice words that he mumbled under his breath. Ju&amp;rsquo;a didn&amp;rsquo;t respond to Lij&amp;rsquo;uka, instead, he tightened his fists and stomped his foot. He decided what would be the next action. &lt;br&gt;&amp;ldquo;Gri&amp;rsquo;yinde, what now?&amp;rdquo; &lt;br&gt;The Elder stopped pacing, looked at the sky, and pointed. &lt;br&gt;Ju&amp;#39;a roared and then expanded his ki&amp;#39;cti-pa, ready for a fight to release his inner frustrations. An Ooman vessel, one of their loud, clumsy ones, was flying through the sky and descending toward the crater. &lt;br&gt;&amp;ldquo;Ju&amp;#39;a, no! If we&amp;#39;re to survive for rescue, then we must stay hidden and only come out to hunt for food. There is no honor when our life depends upon kills. Now come, we&amp;#39;re finding somewhere to hide.&amp;rdquo; The Elder began his trek, passing over dirt. Nothing else, just dirt. In the distance, Ju&amp;#39;a could see trees, small, black trees. &lt;br&gt;Ju&amp;#39;a stayed where he was and looked at the Elder confusedly. &amp;ldquo;Gri&amp;#39;yinde, our heat won&amp;#39;t last for however long the clan decides to wait. There are barely any animals in the place and after our heat dies out, we&amp;#39;ll die in this frozen death place. You know it as well as I, we must find a warmer climate to stay in. The clan can find us on this planet; I&amp;#39;m walking to the hottest place I can find.&amp;rdquo;&lt;br&gt;The Elder stopped and walked to Ju&amp;#39;a, who was now walking aimlessly toward the tree. Gri&amp;rsquo;yinde&amp;rsquo;s hand upon Ju&amp;rsquo;a&amp;rsquo;s shoulder made him halt. &amp;ldquo;You&amp;rsquo;re right, but next time you walk away from an Elder without being dismissed, I will personally see to it that you are punished.&amp;rdquo; Ju&amp;rsquo;a bowed his head, ashamed of his disrespectful actions.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The canister sent a plume of smoke into the frigid air. Snow rocketed outward from ground zero, showering trees with a coating of the cold, slush-like mixture. The container popped open, the hydraulic squeal and release of air frightened the local animals, which all ran instincively.&lt;br&gt;Inside was the very active egg. The embryonic stage of Xenomorph life stirred inside. It swirled its tail in the amniotic fluid and its legs wriggled impetuously. The small, eight-legged creature would begin the life cycle soon enough. It just had to wait in its artificially heated area, even though the generators were badly damaged from the rough impact and the freezing temperatures weren&amp;rsquo;t helping. But soon, soon the death from the stars would live on...&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;ldquo;Jesus Christ! What the...&amp;rdquo; Whitback exclaimed from his passenger seat on the helicopter. &lt;br&gt;The snow had just flown up like a bomb had gone up. &amp;ldquo;What, commies think it&amp;rsquo;s fireworks night, or somethin&amp;rsquo;?!&amp;rdquo; He was mostly talking to himself. His troops might have heard, but he couldn&amp;rsquo;t have heard their responses. &lt;br&gt;The copter was only a few meters from landfall, the snow had only just risen above the blackened trees that lined the horizon to the north. He knew something was up, but time to ponder was cut short by a loud, echoing voice. The pilot was using a speaker to talk. &amp;ldquo;We will touch down in thirty seconds, or so. Please wait until I give you the go-ahead before leaving, no decapitation on my watch,&amp;rdquo; he laughed at his own joke. &lt;br&gt;Forty-five seconds later, the entire troop was getting off the helicopter, which was slowly shutting down. They had two hours to find the source of the explosion.&lt;br&gt;As soon as Whitback got off of the helicopter and shook the pilot&amp;rsquo;s hand, the hairs on the back of his neck began to stand on end....&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;AvQuest&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;12&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Garamond&quot; size=&quot;4&quot;&gt;The End &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Garamond&quot; size=&quot;4&quot;&gt;For Now...&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;hr size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&lt;br/&gt;</description></item><item><title>A L I E N S Merchandise</title><link>http://avpspectrum.wetpaint.com/page/A+L+I+E+N+S+Merchandise</link><author>Dictator-of-DOOM</author><guid isPermaLink="false">http://avpspectrum.wetpaint.com/page/A+L+I+E+N+S+Merchandise</guid><pubDate>Thu, 28 Aug 2008 21:04:19 CDT</pubDate><description>&lt;font face=&quot;Times&quot; size=&quot;4&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;5&quot;&gt;A L I E N S Novels--&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Times&quot; size=&quot;4&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;5&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;[Coming Soon] &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;font face=&quot;Times&quot; size=&quot;5&quot;&gt;A L I E N S Movies--&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Times&quot; size=&quot;5&quot;&gt;[Coming Soon]&lt;/font&gt; &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;font face=&quot;Times&quot; size=&quot;5&quot;&gt;A L I E N S Games--&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Times&quot; size=&quot;5&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;[Coming Soon]&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;   &lt;hr size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&lt;br/&gt;</description></item><item><title>AvP Merchandise</title><link>http://avpspectrum.wetpaint.com/page/AvP+Merchandise</link><author>Dictator-of-DOOM</author><guid isPermaLink="false">http://avpspectrum.wetpaint.com/page/AvP+Merchandise</guid><pubDate>Thu, 28 Aug 2008 20:59:23 CDT</pubDate><description>There is no abstract available for this page revision.&lt;hr size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&lt;br/&gt;</description></item><item><title>PREDATOR Merchandise</title><link>http://avpspectrum.wetpaint.com/page/PREDATOR+Merchandise</link><author>Dictator-of-DOOM</author><guid isPermaLink="false">http://avpspectrum.wetpaint.com/page/PREDATOR+Merchandise</guid><pubDate>Thu, 28 Aug 2008 20:58:36 CDT</pubDate><description>There is no abstract available for this page revision.&lt;hr size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&lt;br/&gt;</description></item><item><title>PREDATOR Games</title><link>http://avpspectrum.wetpaint.com/page/PREDATOR+Games</link><author>Michel.P.</author><guid isPermaLink="false">http://avpspectrum.wetpaint.com/page/PREDATOR+Games</guid><pubDate>Sun, 24 Aug 2008 23:26:20 CDT</pubDate><description>&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;  &lt;i&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#ffff00&quot;&gt;[Contents coming soon]&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;hr size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&lt;br/&gt;</description></item><item><title>PREDATOR Literature</title><link>http://avpspectrum.wetpaint.com/page/PREDATOR+Literature</link><author>Michel.P.</author><guid isPermaLink="false">http://avpspectrum.wetpaint.com/page/PREDATOR+Literature</guid><pubDate>Sun, 24 Aug 2008 23:25:55 CDT</pubDate><description>&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;     &lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;  &lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;  &lt;/div&gt;  &lt;blockquote&gt;  &lt;font color=&quot;#ff0000&quot;&gt;Learn more about the famous comic book series that accompanied the equally popular film franchise of the PREDATOR.

But although it looks like an oasis, the planet harbors a fatal secret: murderous aliens that have wiped out every life form in their path. Anthropologist Jocasta Malvaux is eager to prove her theory that the aliens can be reasoned with, so she sets up an observation post on Rosamond 6. Amazingly, when the monsters become aware of Malvaux and her expedition, they don&amp;#39;t attack. What&amp;#39;s the reason behind the Aliens&amp;#39; seeming lack of concern for the humans? Are they evolving? Or are they simply lying in wait? Expanding on Ridley Scott&amp;#39;s classic film, &lt;i&gt;Aliens: DNA War&lt;/i&gt; continues the chilling saga of the intrepid men and women who fight to stay alive against an opponent that sleeps, breathes, and breeds with just one goal: to kill.&lt;/font&gt; &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a class=&quot;external&quot; href=&quot;http://avpspectrum.wetpaint.comhttp://www.darkhorse.com/Books/Previews/46-572&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt; &lt;/a&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;Billie only wanted what all children want -- the warmth and security of family, the human connectedness that comes from belonging.

During the meal Kane begins to choke and convulse until an alien &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#00ff00&quot; face=&quot;Arial&quot;&gt;chestburster&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#00ff00&quot; face=&quot;Arial&quot;&gt; bursts from his chest, killing him and scurrying quickly out of the room. After ejecting Kane&amp;#39;s body into space, the crew splits up into two teams to capture the alien. Ash rigs together a tracking-device, while Brett (&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#00ff00&quot; face=&quot;Arial&quot;&gt;Harry Dean Stanton&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#00ff00&quot; face=&quot;Arial&quot;&gt;) assembles a weapon similar to a &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#00ff00&quot; face=&quot;Arial&quot;&gt;cattle-prod&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#00ff00&quot; face=&quot;Arial&quot;&gt;. Picking up a signal, Parker (&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#00ff00&quot; face=&quot;Arial&quot;&gt;Yaphet Kotto&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#00ff00&quot; face=&quot;Arial&quot;&gt;), Brett, and Ripley think they have the creature cornered, only to discover Jones, the crew&amp;#39;s &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#00ff00&quot; face=&quot;Arial&quot;&gt;cat&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#00ff00&quot; face=&quot;Arial&quot;&gt;. Realizing they might pick up the cat on the tracker again later, Parker sends Brett to catch Jones. During his search Brett encounters the alien, now fully grown and enormous. The creature attacks him and hauls him into an air-shaft.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#00ff00&quot; face=&quot;Arial&quot;&gt;The crew realizes that the alien has used the air-shafts to move through the ship. Dallas enters the network of air-shafts with a &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#00ff00&quot; face=&quot;Arial&quot;&gt;flamethrower&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#00ff00&quot; face=&quot;Arial&quot;&gt;, intending to drive the alien into an airlock in order to blow it out into space. Using the tracker, Lambert picks up the alien&amp;#39;s signal moving toward Dallas. As Dallas attempts to escape, the creature ambushes him, and he disappears. Ripley asks Mother for advice on destroying the alien, and in the process discovers that &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#00ff00&quot; face=&quot;Arial&quot;&gt;&amp;quot;The Company&amp;quot;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#00ff00&quot; face=&quot;Arial&quot;&gt; had already detected the alien transmission, and wanted one of the alien lifeforms brought back &amp;mdash; possibly for its weapons division &amp;mdash; even at the expense of the crew. Ash, the Company&amp;#39;s agent on board, attacks Ripley after she learns of &amp;quot;Special Order 937&amp;quot;, but Parker and Lambert arrive before he can kill her. Parker dislodges Ash&amp;#39;s head with a fire-extinguisher, revealing Ash as an &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#00ff00&quot; face=&quot;Arial&quot;&gt;android&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#00ff00&quot; face=&quot;Arial&quot;&gt;, programmed to protect the alien and to ensure its return to Earth.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#00ff00&quot; face=&quot;Arial&quot;&gt;The three remaining crew members decide to destroy the &lt;i&gt;Nostromo&lt;/i&gt; and escape in the shuttle &lt;i&gt;Narcissus&lt;/i&gt;. While Ripley preps the &lt;i&gt;Narcissus&lt;/i&gt; for launch, Parker and Lambert go to gather &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#00ff00&quot; face=&quot;Arial&quot;&gt;coolant&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#00ff00&quot; face=&quot;Arial&quot;&gt; for the shuttle&amp;#39;s life-support system. Ripley hears Jones over the ship&amp;#39;s communication system and runs off to the Bridge to collect him. While there, she hears the screams of Parker and Lambert and runs to help them. She arrives too late, discovering the alien has killed them. Ripley activates the ship&amp;#39;s &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#00ff00&quot; face=&quot;Arial&quot;&gt;self-destruct sequence&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#00ff00&quot; face=&quot;Arial&quot;&gt; and races to the shuttle, but sees the alien blocking her way into the shuttle. After an unsuccessful attempt at aborting the self-destruct sequence, Ripley rushes back to the shuttle and finds the alien gone. Ripley and Jones take off in the &lt;i&gt;Narcissus&lt;/i&gt;, and the &lt;i&gt;Nostromo&lt;/i&gt; explodes. While preparing for hypersleep Ripley discovers that the alien has hidden itself inside the shuttle. Ripley manages to slip on a &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#00ff00&quot; face=&quot;Arial&quot;&gt;space-suit&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#00ff00&quot; face=&quot;Arial&quot;&gt; and arm herself with a grappling-gun. As the alien moves toward her, about to attack, she hits a button opening the hatch door. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#00ff00&quot; face=&quot;Arial&quot;&gt;Explosive decompression&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#00ff00&quot; face=&quot;Arial&quot;&gt; blasts the alien outwards, but it grabs the sides of the hatch opening and starts to crawl back into the shuttle. Ripley then shoots the alien with the grappling-gun, which gets pulled out of her hand but caught by the closing hatch door. When the Alien (still tethered to the grappling hook and the gun inside) climbs into one of the shuttle&amp;#39;s engine nacelles, Ripley activates the engine and blasts it into space. The film ends as Ripley and the cat enter hypersleep&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;  &lt;font color=&quot;#00ffff&quot; face=&quot;Arial&quot; size=&quot;4&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;ALIENS(1986) was the perfect sequal to this masterpiece. Here is the basic plot of what this film was about:&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;   &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#00ff00&quot; face=&quot;Arial&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;Ellen Ripley&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#00ff00&quot; face=&quot;Arial&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;, the only survivor of the space freighter &lt;i&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#0000ff&quot;&gt;Nostromo&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/i&gt;, is rescued and revived after drifting for fifty-seven years in &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#00ff00&quot; face=&quot;Arial&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;hypersleep&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#00ff00&quot; face=&quot;Arial&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;. Interviewed before a panel of executives from her employer the &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#00ff00&quot; face=&quot;Arial&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;Weyland-Yutani Corporation&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#00ff00&quot; face=&quot;Arial&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;, Ripley&amp;#39;s testimony regarding the &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#00ff00&quot; face=&quot;Arial&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;Alien&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#00ff00&quot; face=&quot;Arial&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt; is met with extreme skepticism, as no physical evidence of the creature survived the destruction of the &lt;i&gt;Nostromo&lt;/i&gt;. Ripley loses her space flight license as a result of her &amp;quot;questionable judgment&amp;quot; in destroying the &lt;i&gt;Nostromo&lt;/i&gt; and learns that &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#00ff00&quot; face=&quot;Arial&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;LV-426&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#00ff00&quot; face=&quot;Arial&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;, the &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#00ff00&quot; face=&quot;Arial&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;planetoid&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#00ff00&quot; face=&quot;Arial&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt; where her crew first encountered the Alien eggs, is now home to a &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#00ff00&quot; face=&quot;Arial&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;terraforming&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#00ff00&quot; face=&quot;Arial&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt; colony. Ripley is visited by Weyland-Yutani employee Carter J. Burke, who informs her that contact has been lost with the colony on LV-426. The company is dispatching Burke and a unit of Colonial Marines to investigate, and offers to restore Ripley&amp;#39;s flight status if she will accompany them as a consultant. Psychologically traumatized by her experience onboard the &lt;i&gt;Nostromo&lt;/i&gt;, Ripley initially refuses to join, but accepts when she realizes the mission will allow her to face her fears. Arriving in orbit of LV-426 aboard the warship &lt;i&gt;Sulaco&lt;/i&gt;, she is introduced to the Colonial Marines, including Lieutenant Gorman, Sergeant Apone and the &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#00ff00&quot; face=&quot;Arial&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;android&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#00ff00&quot; face=&quot;Arial&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#00ff00&quot; face=&quot;Arial&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;Bishop&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#00ff00&quot; face=&quot;Arial&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#00ff00&quot; face=&quot;Arial&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;The heavily-armed expedition descends to the planetoid&amp;#39;s surface via &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#00ff00&quot; face=&quot;Arial&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;dropship&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#00ff00&quot; face=&quot;Arial&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;, where they find the colony seemingly abandoned. The only living things found are two Alien &amp;quot;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#00ff00&quot; face=&quot;Arial&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;facehuggers&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#00ff00&quot; face=&quot;Arial&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;&amp;quot; on display in the colony&amp;#39;s medical lab and a severely traumatized young girl nicknamed Newt. The Marines locate the colonists, who are clustered in the colony&amp;#39;s nuclear-powered atmosphere processing station. Traveling to the station, the Marines find a large Alien nest filled with the &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#00ff00&quot; face=&quot;Arial&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;cocooned&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#00ff00&quot; face=&quot;Arial&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt; corpses of the colonists. When the Marines destroy a &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#00ff00&quot; face=&quot;Arial&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;chestburster&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#00ff00&quot; face=&quot;Arial&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;, a swarm of Aliens awaken and kill most of the unit. Ripley rescues Corporal Hicks and Privates Vasquez and Hudson. With Gorman temporarily unconscious, Hicks assumes command and orders the dropship to recover the survivors, intending to return to the &lt;i&gt;Sulaco&lt;/i&gt; and destroy the colony from orbit. A stowaway Alien kills the dropship pilots in flight, causing the vessel to crash into the processing station. The surviving humans barricade themselves inside the colony complex.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#00ff00&quot; face=&quot;Arial&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;After learning that Burke has ordered Bishop to preserve Alien specimens for return to the company labs, Ripley becomes suspicious of Burke&amp;#39;s intentions. She discovers that he ordered the unprepared colonists to investigate the derelict spaceship where the &lt;i&gt;Nostromo&lt;/i&gt; crew first encountered the Alien eggs and threatens to expose him. Bishop declares that the damaged processing station has become unstable and will detonate with the force of a thermonuclear weapon&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#00ff00&quot; face=&quot;Arial&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;. He volunteers to crawl down a service pipe to the colony transmitter and pilot the Sulaco&amp;#39;s remaining dropship to the surface via remote control. Ripley and Newt fall asleep in the Medical Laboratory, awakening to find themselves locked in the room with the two facehuggers released from their tanks. Ripley is able to alert the Marines, who rescue her and Newt from the creatures. Ripley accuses Burke of attempting to use her and Newt as hosts to smuggle implanted Alien embryos past Earth&amp;#39;s quarantine procedures and of planning to kill the rest of the Marines in hypersleep during the return trip. Hicks is ready to execute Burke when the electricity is suddenly cut off. The Aliens enter through the ceiling and attack &lt;i&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#0000ff&quot;&gt;en masse&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/i&gt;, killing Hudson and Burke. The rest of the group escapes into the air ducts, where Gorman and an injured Vasquez, cut off and surrounded, sacrifice themselves by detonating a grenade&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#00ff00&quot; face=&quot;Arial&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;. The force of the blast knocks Newt down a shaft, where she is captured by an Alien.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;thumb tright&quot;&gt;  &lt;div class=&quot;thumbinner&quot;&gt;  &lt;a class=&quot;external&quot; href=&quot;http://avpspectrum.wetpaint.comhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Anguish.jpg&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; title=&quot;The Alien queen in the atmosphere processor hive.&quot;&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#00ff00&quot; face=&quot;Arial&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#00ff00&quot; face=&quot;Arial&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt; &lt;/font&gt;  &lt;div class=&quot;thumbcaption&quot;&gt;  &lt;div class=&quot;magnify&quot;&gt;  &lt;a class=&quot;external&quot; href=&quot;http://avpspectrum.wetpaint.comhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Anguish.jpg&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; title=&quot;Enlarge&quot;&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#00ff00&quot; face=&quot;Arial&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#00ff00&quot; face=&quot;Arial&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;The Alien queen in the atmosphere processor hive.&lt;/font&gt;   &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#00ff00&quot; face=&quot;Arial&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;Ripley and an injured Hicks reach Bishop and the second dropship, but Ripley is unwilling to leave Newt behind. She rescues Newt from the hive in the processing station, where the two encounter the Alien queen and her egg chamber. Ripley destroys most of the eggs, enraging the queen who escapes by tearing free from her &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#00ff00&quot; face=&quot;Arial&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;ovipositor&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#00ff00&quot; face=&quot;Arial&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;. Closely pursued by the queen, Ripley, Newt, Bishop, and Hicks escape on the dropship moments before the colony is consumed by the nuclear blast. Back on the &lt;i&gt;Sulaco&lt;/i&gt;, Ripley and Bishop&amp;#39;s relief at their narrow escape is interrupted when the Alien queen, stowed away on the dropship&amp;#39;s landing gear, tears Bishop in half. Ripley battles the queen using an &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#00ff00&quot; face=&quot;Arial&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;exosuit&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#00ff00&quot; face=&quot;Arial&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt; cargo-loader.

An Alien vs. Predator film was put on hiatus until 2002, with the final production based on a story written by &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#00ffff&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;Dan O&amp;#39;Bannon&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#00ffff&quot;&gt;, &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#00ffff&quot;&gt;Ronald Shusett&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#00ffff&quot;&gt;, and director Pau W.

Hoping to claim the find for himself, Weyland and the group discover a pyramid below the surface of a whaling station. Hieroglyphics and sculptures reveal that the pyramid is a hunting ground for Predators who kill Aliens as a rite of passage.

Dutch&amp;#39;s old Army buddy and now CIA agent, Major George Dillon (Carl Weathers), joins the team and they travel by helicopter to their destination within the jungle.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#ff0000&quot;&gt;Once inserted, the team find the remains of a downed helicopter and later the bodies of several men who have been skinned. They are identified to be another U.S. Special Forces unit, whose presence in the country mystifies Dutch. They soon make their way to a heavily defended rebel encampment and take out its inhabitants in short order, save for a girl named Anna (Elpidia Carrillo), whom they take prisoner. Dutch is enraged to discover that the rescue mission had been a set up to get him and his men to destroy the camp, after the previous team - the dead men they found earlier - disappeared in a failed rescue of several CIA agents belonging to Dillon. Dutch extracts this information from him, who confesses that he was using him all along.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#ff0000&quot;&gt;As the soldiers make their way to the extraction point, the men are observed from afar by an unknown creature, who uses infrared imaging to spy on them. Once members of the team are killed mysteriously, they become aware that something in the jungle is stalking them, whose presence is confirmed by eerie sightings of a cloaked figure. Anna delivers insight into the creature, who has apparently become a local legend for hunting humans as trophies. Despite attempts to track down the creature, the team is slowly killed off one by one, until only Dutch and Anna remain. Realizing that the creature kills only those possessing weapons, a wounded Dutch sends an unarmed Anna off to the extraction point. Dutch narrowly escapes the creature - revealed to be a masked, reptilian being - by unintentionally covering himself in mud, which hides his body&amp;#39;s heat signature, rendering him invisible to the creature&amp;#39;s thermal vision.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#ff0000&quot;&gt;Dutch decides to face off with the creature one last time, using the mud as camouflage and a number of improvised weapons and traps to kill it. The creature arrives as planned, but despite having its cloaking ability disabled in an attack, it manages to capture Dutch. Then, in a display of chivalry, the creature chooses to brawl its human prey to the death, unveiling his facade and discarding his electronic weaponry before brutalizing him. Once cornered, Dutch sets off one of his traps; a suspended log that falls and crushes the creature, mortally wounding it. As Dutch approaches the creature and asks him what he is, the creature mimics his question and then activates a time bomb on his wrist device. Dutch runs for cover as the creature self-destructs, and a massive explosion ignites the jungle. Anna and the rescue helicopter finally arrive to pick up a disheveled but victorious Dutch. Flying back to safety, he stares out at the jungle in mournful silence.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;  &lt;div align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#ffff00&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;4&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Impact&quot;&gt;PREDATOR 2&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font size=&quot;+0&quot;&gt;(1990)&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#ffff00&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;4&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;+0&quot;&gt;was the second film in this series. This is a basic overview of what this film was about:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/u&gt; &lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#ff0000&quot;&gt;In &lt;font size=&quot;+0&quot;&gt;1997&lt;/font&gt;, &lt;font size=&quot;+0&quot;&gt;Los Angeles&lt;/font&gt; is suffering from both a sweltering heat-wave and a vicious street war between rival &lt;font size=&quot;+0&quot;&gt;Jamaican&lt;/font&gt; and &lt;font size=&quot;+0&quot;&gt;Colombian&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font size=&quot;+0&quot;&gt;drug cartels&lt;/font&gt;. Engaged in a protracted &lt;font size=&quot;+0&quot;&gt;shootout&lt;/font&gt; with some Colombians, police officers Leona Cantrell (&lt;font size=&quot;+0&quot;&gt;Maria Conchita Alonso&lt;/font&gt;) and Danny Archuleta (&lt;font size=&quot;+0&quot;&gt;Ruben Blades&lt;/font&gt;) await the aid of their boss, veteran Lieutenant Michael Harrigan (&lt;font size=&quot;+0&quot;&gt;Danny Glover&lt;/font&gt;). After an intense firefight with the officers, Harrigan&amp;#39;s aggressive tactics cause the criminals to withdraw into a nearby building. A series of explosions rock the structure, followed by mysterious gunfire. Harrigan proceeds inside, against orders, only to find the Colombians have been mysteriously slaughtered. He catches sight of what appears to be the hazy silhouette of a large man, but waves it off as an effect of the heat wave. Harrigan suspects that a new &amp;quot;player&amp;quot; has entered the streets for control.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#ff0000&quot;&gt;At the police station, Harrigan is introduced to Special Agent Peter Keyes (&lt;font size=&quot;+0&quot;&gt;Gary Busey&lt;/font&gt;), leader of a federal task force investigating the cartels. Harrigan is also introduced to a new officer for his team, Jerry &amp;quot;The Lone Ranger&amp;quot; Lambert (&lt;font size=&quot;+0&quot;&gt;Bill Paxton&lt;/font&gt;).&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#ff0000&quot;&gt;Later, Jamaican cartel members attack the Colombian drug lord Ramone at his home. After ritualistically murdering him, the Predator takes advantage of the situation and kills the Jamaicans, leaving only the Colombian&amp;#39;s girlfriend alive. Arriving first, Harrigan and his team enter against orders, observing one of the Predator&amp;#39;s daggers stuck in an air-conditioner, before Keyes and his team arrive. Enraged at his defiance, Keyes threatens Harrigan, saying he will be &amp;#39;disappeared&amp;#39; if he interferes again. Harrigan and Archuleta discuss plans to return to the crime scene later for further investigation into the murders. Archuleta arrives before Harrigan and attempts to retrieve the dagger, which has gone unnoticed by Keyes. Unfortunately, the Predator has also returned to the scene. Archuleta attacks on reflex and is killed by the Predator.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#ff0000&quot;&gt;Harrigan is devastated, vowing to his superiors and Keyes to destroy the perpetrator responsible for his friend&amp;#39;s death. After Cantrell and Lambert tail Keyes to a slaughterhouse, they visit a &lt;font size=&quot;+0&quot;&gt;pathologist&lt;/font&gt; to investigate the dagger, which Harrigan had secretly removed from Archuleta&amp;#39;s corpse. She discusses its origins, noting the weapon&amp;#39;s molecular structure does not correspond with the &lt;font size=&quot;+0&quot;&gt;periodic table&lt;/font&gt;. Harrigan decides to set up a meeting with the Jamaican drug lord King Willy, hoping he will know who is attacking them. Willy believes the creature involved in the killings of his men is not of this world. More confused than ever, Harrigan leaves - the Predator immediately attacks and kills King Willy.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#ff0000&quot;&gt;Leona suspects that this killer is toying with Harrigan, as Danny was murdered shortly before Harrigan arrived, while King Willy was murdered moments after he left. Cantrell and Lambert, planning to meet Harrigan, are traveling by subway when a group of thugs threaten a man. They pull guns on each other, causing Lambert and Cantrell to pull their own weapons. As the tense standoff ensues, the Predator suddenly attacks. During the confusion, Cantrell assists the passengers to safety within another subway car while Lambert keeps the Predator busy. After stopping the train and getting the passengers to the surface, she doubles back to find Lambert has been killed. She encounters the Predator, who scans her body with thermal scan technology. Viewing a &lt;font size=&quot;+0&quot;&gt;fetus&lt;/font&gt; within her, the Predator refrains from attacking.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#ff0000&quot;&gt;Harrigan arrives at the new crime scene and discovers Cantrell is still alive. He also surmises that only armed civilians and officers were attacked. Following a blood trail down the subway tunnel, he witnesses the Predator mutilating Lambert&amp;#39;s body. Harrigan pursues the creature, only to be captured by Keyes&amp;#39; special team.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#ff0000&quot;&gt;Keyes finally reveals his agenda. He and his team have been following encounter sites with the Predator, hoping to catch one ever since Alan &amp;quot;Dutch&amp;quot; Schaeffer (the protagonist of the first film, played by &lt;font size=&quot;+0&quot;&gt;Arnold Schwarzenegger&lt;/font&gt;) and his special forces team were attacked in the jungle ten years earlier. Keyes and his men hope to capture the creature for study. Armed with weaponry intended to immobilize the creature, they have set a trap in a vacant slaughterhouse the Predator had been raiding for food. Their aim is to make it impossible for the Predator to see in the infra-red spectrum, without which it will be blind; however the Predator simply switches its helmet&amp;#39;s scanner to an ultraviolet wavelength. The Predator attacks the government team, killing everyone except Keyes. Harrigan, who foresaw trouble, is able to escape custody and heads to confront the Predator.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#ff0000&quot;&gt;A short battle follows, in which Keyes is apparently killed. Harrigan is able to shoot down the Predator and remove its mask, but the Predator revives moments later and nearly kills Harrigan. Keyes, still alive (although horribly scarred by a plasma attack), arrives to battle the creature, using a specialized liquid nitrogen cannon. Keyes demands that Harrigan retreat, saying that the fight is between &amp;quot;me and &lt;i&gt;him&lt;/i&gt;.&amp;quot; The Predator pulls out a &amp;quot;&lt;font size=&quot;+0&quot;&gt;smart-disc&lt;/font&gt;&amp;quot; weapon and throws it at Keyes. The weapon cuts through half a dozen cattle carcasses before hitting Keyes, which in a graphic scene, slices him in half and covers Harrigan with his blood. Harrigan and the Predator exchange attacks, as the battle moves to the rooftop. The Predator gets knocked over the side and, hanging from a ledge, attempts to activate the micro-nuke self-destruct bomb contained in its wrist-mounted computer. However, Harrigan steals the Predator&amp;#39;s &lt;font size=&quot;+0&quot;&gt;smart-disc&lt;/font&gt; weapon and uses it to cut the Predator&amp;#39;s forearm off, destroying the bomb in the process. After tending its wounds the Predator retreats to an underground spaceship followed closely by Harrigan. The two have a final duel, ending with Harrigan killing the Predator. The elder Predators pick up their fallen soldier and give Harrigan an old flintlock pistol as a sign of respect.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;  &lt;div align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;  &lt;div align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;  &lt;div align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;+0&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;+0&quot;&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#ffff00&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;+0&quot;&gt;*Please note, that most of this information was found on other info sites, So we do not take full credit for the contents of this page*&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;  &lt;div align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#ffff00&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;-Thank you&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;hr size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&lt;br/&gt;</description></item><item><title>ALIEN Games</title><link>http://avpspectrum.wetpaint.com/page/ALIEN+Games</link><author>Chris.P.</author><guid isPermaLink="false">http://avpspectrum.wetpaint.com/page/ALIEN+Games</guid><comments>ALIEN Games</comments><pubDate>Sat, 23 Aug 2008 15:56:11 CDT</pubDate><description>&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#ffff00&quot;&gt;(Contents will be added soon...)&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;hr size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&lt;br/&gt;</description></item><item><title>Fan Films</title><link>http://avpspectrum.wetpaint.com/page/Fan+Films</link><author>Chris.P.</author><guid isPermaLink="false">http://avpspectrum.wetpaint.com/page/Fan+Films</guid><pubDate>Sat, 23 Aug 2008 15:15:59 CDT</pubDate><description>There is no abstract available for this page revision.&lt;hr size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&lt;br/&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
