An unexpected connection is formed while a covert plot puts everyone in danger.
Plot[]
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.
