As an alarm blares to the dance of yellow rotating lighting a heavily sweating male runs down a corridor of the Starship that has become a 2 billion credit grave, his green and black uniform shows he is a lieutenant he is also armed with a shotgun. Above the sound of the alarm the males heart beat rushes through his ears.. Something terrifying is on the ship.. One of his colleagues Wesley Barnes was infected with some kind of.. Spider.. Attached to his face.. Moments later it was found dead beside the medical bed Wes was left on, he had woken but several hours later an Alien creature burst from his chest.. It had grown and has killed all but one male.. But he is also infected.. Is it an infection? No.. This is NOT a virus.. It is an alien organism.. And it is hunting him.. They should never have brought those.. Those eggs.. Aboard.. He bursts into the cockpit of the ship. He welds the door shut and scrambles to the nearest monitor to send out a warning..

He coughs..

"This.. This is lieutenant J.C Hayden.. Of the commercial starship Mura, i am sending a warning to all frequencies.. Do not board this ship.."

There is screeching from behind the door followed by thudding.. The creature is trying to get through the door…

"I repeat do not board this vessel there is an alien organism aboard this ship it is extremely dangerous.. If my superiors get this you can go fuck yourselves you knew what we was heading into and left us to dig out of our own shit.."

There is metal creaking as the creature manages to slowly pull open the door.

J.C brings up his shotgun. And pumps the loader.

"I got one of you fuckers inside me eh? Well I've got news for you, ya ugly son of a bitch." He turns to the monitor. "This is lieutenant J.C Hayden last survivor of the Mura signing off.. Ya corporate fucks.." As the black biomechanical creature looms towards the male its silvery teeth glistening followed by a clear string of drool it shows it's inner mouth as it's lips quiver then opens it's maw with a deep hiss, J.C points his shotgun at his own chin.. And pulls the trigger.. As the ship drifts towards dead space..

6 weeks later…

Location: Unknown, Classified Mission

"This is Talon one we have the vessel in sight how copy over?"

"Echoe.. We copy, rebound on final.. Has the away team found anything Briggsy?"

"We got something alright.. The dregs at mother base are going to love this.."

"More salvage? The S.V.V Daedalus told us to find something biological.. Did we find anything biological yet?"

"I think it's best if you come take a look.. It's beautiful.."

"Standby we are latching our umbilical now.. See you in ten.."

When the newly formed United Systems Military gained assets from Weyland Yutani corporation. They begun to look into new ways of expanding their arsenal, but when the science division found files based on several encounters with Alien organisms they sent a team of trained individuals to several hot spots not realising the danger these creatures could pose..

J.C Hayden knew the risks.. But when he killed himself he thought he had won.. How so wrong he was.. A salvage crew was sent to the V.S.S Mura. Only to find said alien life form in a comatose state.. And the remains of J.C Hayden with a creature in his chest which is also in a state of hibernation.. Both were taken to the mother base the S.V.V Daedalus.. Where they begin to attempt to unlock the secrets of this unknown creature.. And by cloning J.C Hayden along with the creature still inside him.

It seems they may have finally succeeded.. So they thought..

ALIEN: Eidolon.

Chapter One: New Beginnings.

Day unknown, month unknown.. 2295..

Life always finds a way… HA! My life is as fucked up as a guy sat in the back of a yellow cab going the wrong way at ninety miles an hour through the midtown tunnel.. But I'd forgive you for thinking I'm 100% human.. What you thought I'd start when i was born? Created? Alright we can start there.. But I warn you this gets very strange.. So you know.. Get to eating panini's or a bacon sandwich.. Or a salad like you eat.. How mundane..

The first thing i remember is fluid.. A cylinder tank.. A distorting muddled mess.. People.. Scientists.. Muddled memories.. I was.. Removed eventually.. Air.. No not air.. That crappy artificial crap.. Everything is out of whack, sedated.. They are taking a piece of myself.. What are they doing? As i lay asleep i feel the singe of a cutting laser.. Cutting at my chest.. Are they removing infected tissue or something? Who knows.. However long later i feel being fixed up.. How nice of them.. Yes i know this is confusing.. How the fuck do you think i feel? I'm sedated.. I can't explain what i can't see.. Give me a moment reader jeez! I can see your furrowed brow from my minds eye..

Ok.. Many weeks later, I awaken… My eyes adjust to the dim lighting of my surroundings, I remove the cocoon like coverings and look around myself.. My biomechanical body a soft Caucasian pale with a scar no bigger than the span of my fuck you finger to the base of my palm.. I notice my long ridged tail with a nice looking thorn like end.. I stand and my tail conceals itself where my spine would be if i was indeed an ordinary human.. I take my clothing from the left of my white cell which is cylinder in shape. And put on my attire, a blue jumpsuit of sorts that's specially designed for my build. My human-like hands slip through the sleeves and i look up to see the sky.. What a lie.. It is just a holographic display and my vision slowly pulses a slight white pulse as i hear distant noise.. I slip on the black boots and once they are on I hear a clunk and a long 'biiii!' As my cell door opens.. I see two men carrying USM rifles enter and i look at them.. "By all means come in.." I say..

"Subject twelve please come with us for your complimentary meal and follow up test chamber.. Proceed.."

Ah.. See i thought these are humans.. No these are the lovely androids.. Look human enough, but their sense of humour is like a wet weekend.. At a funeral..

I give them a smile.. My silvery xeno fangs glisten in their glassy eyeballs and i move on..

Those weapons they carry actually really hurt.. They sort me out with a controlled shock.. Controlled being.. Flooring me and scrambling my xeno senses.. A truly painful and disorientating experience.. I've learned my lesson.. I'm a good boy.. As i leave my cell i see a circular desk with consoles along with a security guard sat at the desk surrounded by a bullet proof shielding and a dna encoded lock on the door.. He nods to me and the androids guide me to my destination.. Walking down the corridors I hear several announcements from D.A.R.C.I. the ships piss annoying AI.. You know like M.O.T.H.E.R? The corridors are currently clear, and clean.. I see a row of tiny cleaner bots drive on past making beeps and boops.. "Hey could i have one of those?" The androids remain silent maybe they find me scary.. I wouldn't say I'm that scary.. Sure you might get anal with my tail if you look at me the wrong way but that's the way your innards or the cookie crumbles.. I am taken to the mess hall which is deserted and I'm left to my own devices… The first thing I do is look up at the panel lighting.. Then i decide food is far more appealing than trying to escape. I'm a good boy.. I walked over to the food dispenser and chose my slop then take the tray and sit beside me myself and i.. Only as i take my spork.. Another individual enters loaded with a grey lab coat a data pad a mop of black tied back hair and she looks young possibly in her thirties her pale hazel eyes glint in the white lighting of the mess hall her cheeks slightly blushed possibly with makeup or the fact she is in the presence of an all-star xeno hybrid.. She is of a slim build and not very tall.. Though i am just about six feet tall.. She has a slight smile.. Then enters my two android friends.. The scientist sits opposite me and sets her clear pad down.

"How are you this morning J.C?"

"I feel like the morning after shore-leave.. You come for a dinner date? We don't have much in the way of service.. Heh, Sorry.."

She smiles.. "No.. I've come to tell you.. Your.. 'Brother..' Is finally awake.. I have orders today to allow you both some alone time.. He really pines for you.."

"Has he broken any of those test chambers yet? Seriously the eggheads know of us both but they can't invest in Tritium infused metal alloys? Seems like an accident just waiting to happen.. Can i make a complaint?"

She laughs.. "Look we are still learning about the pair of you.. The USM jameson was destroyed so we don't exactly have a lot to go on.. That's why only you and subject seven is all we have.. We just can't risk that catastrophe again.. Or the head of board will shut us down.. And you two will be terminated.."

"Sounds like fun.. Do you want this slop? I fancy a nice rump steak.." I look at the android.. "Hey bob can you get the cook to send me an 8oz rump well done please?!"

"How about, we skip lunch.. You do the tests with Seven.. And i will order you one personally?!"

"With some curly fries and a Peroni?"

"With whatever you want.."

"Deal.. Alright let's stretch my mind muscles.." we both get up and we make our way to the testing chambers.. But as we get closer I feel the Xenomorphs dagger like mind sear into mine.. Black inky intent rolls around my mind.. He wants out.. I feel him writhing around in my mind.. "Patience you little shit.. I'm coming.."

He ain't little, in fact he is well over 7ft. The test chamber opens and I enter the room. The white lighting flickers on and although I don't see him behind the screen, I sense him.. The panels open up and then I hear his breathing.. Growly deep rhythm.. Then i see his head.. He slowly leaves and from the darkness it births him.. His biomechanical mass seeps into the test chamber and i feel his mind crash into mine and i allow him to enter.. He knows it's me.. I technically made him.. Though I don't know how but the eggheads had me go through a c section in my chest to get to my broski here.. I walk up to him and his head connects to mine and he rubs his large forehead against my temples. He opens his mouth and lets out a hiss.. I grab his dome and run a hand over it.. He also has four strikes along his biomechanical tubing that are blue on his large forearms. And several more along his ribcage and further back along his dome towards the end.. The dweebs don't know why he has them but i think it tells him apart from other Xenos.. If there was more on this ship..

"Hey professor! Come on in he's perfectly safe!" she smiles and holds down the intercom. "I can see fine right here thank you very much John!"

"Alright bud, lets see what monkey shit they want us doing today.."

"I heard that mister! Alright today is focusing on xeno control.. Get Subject Seven to move around the room using your connection to it…"

I look at Sev and move back, i close my eyes.. "Ok Sev.. Let me in like a good Xeno.." It is immediate.. I feel my consciousness slip into him like a well fitted glove.. Ugh he feels so slimy and sinewy.. But solid.. I see myself in his black pulsing view.. Although they are blind xenomorphs use clever receptors in their brains to 'sniff out' their surroundings with regular pulses i see the outline of the whole room it is almost like echo location.. His rumbling mind one with mine.. I move him around.. His mass gliding along gracefully as I command him using my own initiative to move him all over the room.. It's like I can do anything with him.. I jump onto the window where the scientists are looking.. A shame they are stuck behind this glass.. He's safe really... They'd get a shock.. I jump on the ceiling and I begin to tire.. I can't keep him in my mind for too long as it is hard work.. He jumps down as my eyes revert to my own skull.. And i feel a lot lighter.. He is so heavy..

"Thank you for that bud.."

"Well done J.C.. Now it's your turn.. Have Subject Seven follow you through to the next door.. I'll see you soon.."

The door on the east side opens up and we walk towards it.. Sevs tail leaning in my direction as he moves on all fours. He enters first and i walk past him, he wraps his tail around my waist slightly. With a whined breath. He then stands towering me. And unwraps his tail.

I enter the centre of the red lit room when a glare of white fades in as the observation window opens up.. This room is larger than the one previous. Several walls open up to reveal several consoles. I walk up to them with rotating USM symbols with a silver triangle.. "Alright J.C, we are going to show you several images.. Sub-"

"Sev.. Can you call him Sev? That's the name I've given him.."

"Very well, Sev can either stay or return to his cell.. It is up to you.."

"He can stay unless he begins humping my leg.."

I see several scientists laugh and professor Alden smiles.. "Always with the jokes John.. So just tell us what first comes to mind when you see each image.."

An image flashes up of an obscure thing..

"Insect.."

"Close.. Butterfly.. And next one.."

Another flashes up..

"A foot.."

"Close again.. Boot.."

Yet another flashes up..

"Fruit.. Apple.."

Another flashes up..

"Sev over there!"

Another..

My mind shudders.. And it causes Sev to hiss.. "I.."

"J.C are you alright?"

My mind takes a jolt a woman..

The image is of a woman's face but.. I can't.. Remember..

"J.C.. Respond.. Is everything alright?"

I begin to calm down and smile..

"Professor Rachel Alden.."

Sev begins to thud over and i feel his glass shard mind piercing my own..

"I'm fine Sev.." I say rubbing his jaw..

The next one flashes up..

"Explosion.."

"Alright, this one will be a little tricky.. Try and decipher it as best as you can."

It flashes up and i stare at it.. It looks like an explosion of black but there are hidden people within..

"Sevs.. No not Sevs.. My mind.."

The lights go out.. What the shit is going on? As the lights turn off i turn around to see the whole room change, Sev is still beside me wrapping his tail around my stomach area defensively..

"Stop humping my leg you freak.. Let go.." i unravel his tail when he lets out a sharp hiss in disapproval.. Fuck off Alien.. I'm the one in charge!

I enter his mind when i see it.. A door open.. I make Sev walk on in first.. You know because he is a perfect biological powerhouse.. And i follow.. We enter the opening door to the left and his echo-hormone perception pulses through the door when there are several androids Sev gets nothing from them.. In Fact he can barely see them.

I walk in before him as i regain my own body. The lights fade on showing me a large screen and seats with desks. As i sit down with Sev staying beside me a males face flicks on the large screen.

His greying militant cut hair and slightly weathered face shows experience and authority..

"So this is both subject Twelve and Seven? All preliminary tests are done?"

There is a speaker system behind us..

"Yes Colonel Beckenbauer.. In the flesh.. We are almost done with the tests, a few more to begin but they are making fantastic progress.. It seems Professor Mennet was correct sir.. J.C's natural evolution and integration with Seven is completely stable.. Though several drawbacks have been noted.. We just don't have the technology yet.."

"As is seen with Twelves biomechanical flaws in structure?"

"That and the fact his integration with Seven is purely instinct driven.. It also acts like a type of timer.. If Seven and J.C are apart from each other for more than seven days.. They both begin to show signs of aggression and steady de-stabilisation in cognitive responses.. I'll send you all relevant data sir.."

"Very well that will do.. J.C you and that Xenomorph are the first of our breakthroughs.. You are both making us proud.. Keep up the good work.. I'll be seeing you.."

The screen shuts off and we are returned to the test chamber.. Well now, I just met our boss it seems.. I look at Sev as he walks into his cell which is now back to back with mine then curls up near the back silver wall, given 24hrs that cell will be nothing but black secretion.. I am then taken to my cell when Rachel walks up to me.. Her pale hazel eyes crease as she smiles her hair which is tied back sways left to right as she walks, she holds out a ticket for me.. "Just as promised.. A ticket for a 12oz rump steak with a delectable selection of vegetables mashed potato and gravy.." I take the ticket and smile at her. "Are you trying to impress me or is it the other way around? Thank you!"

"Don't keep a promise if you know you can't keep it i always say! Enjoy it! I'll see you tomorrow!"

She steps back as the androids take their leave. She walks a bit closer to me and she smiles more.. "I never thought you'd be this charming for a xeno human hybrid!" There is an alarm..

"Professor Rachel Alden, please report to the biogenetics laboratories.. Professor Rachel Alden.. Thank you.."

"On the way D.A.R.C.I.. Well that's my cue, got to go.." She says holding out her hand to my cell. I enter when she closes the door behind me.

"Night Rachel."

"It's probably still morning.."

"The time is.. 13:47.. And 27 seconds.."

"Thank you D.A.R.C.I!" She says looking up at one of the intel-I cams..

She walks away and i enter my cocoon like covering.. Where my mind begins to trail off and i finally rest..
