Ripley awakens when her escape pod crashes on Fiorina 161, a remote foundry planet housing violent male prisoners. Hicks and Newt are dead; Bishop is destroyed. A facehugger from the pod impregnates an animal, and soon an alien is loose in the prison. With no weapons of any kind, Ripley and the prisoners devise a plan to trap the creature using themselves as bait and funnel it into the lead works. One by one the men are killed. Ripley runs a blood scan and discovers she is carrying a Queen embryo inside her chest — the Company is not coming to rescue her, they are coming for the embryo. When Weyland-Yutani personnel arrive, Ripley climbs to the top of the furnace and falls forward into the molten lead as the Queen tears through her sternum — ensuring neither she nor the embryo can be taken.
