| In 2120, five companies control Earth and the colonized Solar System, including the recently founded Prodigy Corporation. The USCSS Maginot, a Weyland-Yutani C-class deep space research vessel, approaches Earth after a sixty-five-year expedition to obtain extra-terrestrial specimens, among them facehuggers. On Earth, at Prodigy's Neverland research island, a terminally ill child named Marcy Hermit becomes the first hybrid, having her consciousness transferred to an adult synthetic, and renames herself Wendy. Adjusting to her new body with the assistance of synthetic mentor Kirsh, Wendy oversees several other children who undergo the procedure. A malfunction compromises the Maginot's navigation, placing it on a collision course with Earth. Some specimens get loose, and a grown Xenomorph kills most of the crew. It crashes into a tower in Prodigy City, New Siam, where Wendy's human brother Joe Hermit works as a medic and corporate soldier. CEO Boy Kavalier asserts the Maginot's contents now belong to Prodigy, and deploys Kirsh, Wendy, and the other hybrids to assist with search and rescue to test their enhanced capabilities. Security officer Morrow, who survived the crash in a reinforced panic room, moves to protect the cargo and detains two Prodigy soldiers, who are killed by a leech-like specimen. Wendy remarks to Kirsh that she wants to save her brother from death.

| Kavalier tells his colleague, Dame Sylvia, that he formed the Hybrid project to compete with artificial intelligence, and has granted Wendy additional abilities as he wishes to create a person smarter than him. He declines Weyland-Yutani's request to secure the Maginot's proprietary contents, warning any incursion on his territory will be considered a hostile act. Hermit is chased by a Xenomorph and separated from his colleagues. It tracks him to the higher floors of the tower, killing another soldier and massacring an apartment of wealthy residents who refused to evacuate. He is saved by Morrow, who tasers him and the Xenomorph, but it regains consciousness and escapes after killing numerous other soldiers, sparing Morrow. Arriving in Prodigy City, Hybrids Tootles, Smee, Nibs, and Curly encounter two other dangerous extraterrestrial specimens. Wendy locates her brother with Slightly, a fellow Hybrid, but he does not recognize her. Slightly reveals her true identity to a shocked Hermit who believed Wendy/Marcy to have died. The three encounter several Xenomorph eggs, and are ordered by Kirsh to contain them until hazmat arrives. Hermit is dragged away by the Xenomorph, and Wendy chases after.

| On the Maginot, Nibs asks Curly why the hybrids were all named after Peter Pan characters, and why Marcy gets to be Wendy. Boy Kavalier orders Kirsh to collect the creatures and bring them back to the island for study, despite objections from Kirsh and Dame Sylvia. Morrow finds Smee and Slightly guarding the Xenomorph eggs and interrogates them, suspicious of their childlike behavior. He flees shortly after Kirsh arrives when an egg begins to open. Meanwhile, Wendy finds Hermit captured by a Xenomorph. Wendy kills the Xenomorph by decapitating it, but both Wendy and Hermit are seriously injured in the struggle. They all return to the island, where Hermit undergoes surgery and Dame and Arthur Sylvia tend to an unconscious Wendy. Boy Kavalier inspects the creatures until Kirsh removes him when he gets too close to a Xenomorph egg. Later, Atom Eins questions Smee and Slightly about their encounter with Morrow while Boy Kavalier secretly observes them. Somewhere in New Siam, Morrow calls Yutani. She orders him to return home, but he refuses and insists on retrieving the creatures himself. Back on the island, Curly asks Boy Kavalier to explain why Wendy is his favorite of the hybrids, and Curly insists that she is the best. Morrow contacts Slightly by unknown means, frightening him, but Morrow convinces Slightly to be his friend. While Kirsh, Tootles, and Curly dissect a facehugger and introduce its larvae to a sheep's lung, Wendy awakes hearing loud trilling noises that cause her pain. Wendy sets out to find the source, ending up at the room holding the Xenomorph eggs before collapsing on the floor.

| Wendy wakes up and is being tested about her ability to hear the Xenomorph eggs and even develops the skill to express the "language" of the Xenomorphs into a human-audible frequency. Kirsh and Tootles test one of the specimens on a sheep, which seems to cause a sharp rise in brain activity, implying a level of intelligence in the creature. Slightly further talks to Morrow and offers up his real name to him, as a show of good faith. Morrow convinces Slightly to steal back the Xenomorph eggs to return to Weyland-Yutani. Nibs talks to Dame Sylvia and talks about how she thinks she is pregnant and when Dame tries to say otherwise, Nibs becomes volatile and is eventually put under house arrest, unbeknownst to her. Hermit, having become jaded after seeing how Wendy is treated as more a tool than a person, attempts to quit and leave his position, only for Atom Eins to confront him with the realization that quitting would slap him with a large bill for his lung surgery as well as ensuring that he would never see Wendy again. Slightly attempts to reach the eggs and fails. When contacting Morrow, Morrow reveals that he used Slightly's real name to track down his family and threatens them to force Slightly to comply with him. He then directs Slightly to find a human and take them to the eggs, in order to have them be infected by a facehugger. Later at night, Wendy observes the lung, infected with the Xenomorph larva, which bursts, revealing a baby Xenomorph, which she proves able to calm down and placate, thanks to her ability to speak their language.

| A flashback from two weeks prior, shows how the outbreak occurred on the Maginot. Marrow is woken from cryosleep, after a fire damages the ship controls and released two facehuggers who have attacked Dinsdale and Bronski. Dinsdale dies due to the facehugger, acid-blood when they tried to cut it from him, and Bronski is placed in cryo-sleep to prevent the gestation of the Xenomorph, which fails. In the panic, the space-leeches lays its larva in water, which is drunk by Malachite and the octopus-like alien also escapes. Chibuzo and Rahim are killed trying to extract the larva from Malachite, when they release toxic gas as a defense. Teng is killed by the Xenomorph. Petrovich is revealed to be behind the fire, at the order of Boy Kavalier, who promises him a hybrid body if the ship crashes in Prodigy territory. Petrovich, on being found, kills Clem and is in turn killed by Morrow, who retreats to the control room, while Zaveri dies outside the door, when he refuses to let her in. With everyone dead, Morrow locks himself in a panic room and awaits the crash. Back in the present, Morrow talks to the current Yutani and talks about retrieving the stolen cargo and killing Boy Kavalier in the process.

| As the Xenomorph grows, Wendy works on communicating with it. Nibs undergoes testing, prompting Atom Eins to demand her memory be reset to before the Maginot's crash. Dame reluctantly accepts, but Arthur refuses, and is fired under threat of execution if he is not gone by the end of the day. Wendy, disturbed by Nibs' behavior afterwards, learns she was reprogrammed. Meanwhile, Kavalier meets with Yutani over the ship's return and outwits her, securing 20 billion in damages while keeping the specimens for 6 weeks due to quarantine. Kirsh asks Tootles to feed and water the specimens while he is away. However, the Ocellus surprises him into accidentally locking himself in the same cage as two fly-like creatures, who kill him with acid and feed on his body. Slightly tries to lure Joe to the alien eggs, but he declines due to reassignment. Joe later visits a packing Arthur, who covertly deactivates Wendy's tracking device and gives Joe a boat code to allow them to escape. Noticing Tootles is disconnected, he goes to the lab accompanied by Slightly, who opens the cage of the Xenomorph eggs and locks him in, allowing a facehugger to latch onto Arthur. Kirsh watches this through security cameras, but does not tell Kavalier. Slightly hides along with Arthur's body in an air vent as the flies leave their cell.
