The events that took place on LV-426 took place close to one year ago. Once the 17 days, standard operating procedure for a USCM task force, expired, Weyland-Yutani sent out a search party to find it's Marines and correspondent Carter Burke. What remained behind on LV-426 was a massive crater and nothing else.
To further confuse the USCM command and the Company was the appearance of an EEV on LV-161 Fiorina had dropped Ellen Ripley, Cpl. Dwayne Hicks, synthetic Bishop and an unidentified female into the former maximum security prison. However, when authorities arrived, there was no Sulaco.
Currently the USS Valkeros is coasting through the vast expanses of the Eridani system, its home base. The compliment of Marines are operating on only a skeleton crew with most of the crew and Marines tucked away in cryosleep. Amazingly enough, the long lost Sulaco had drifted into the Eridani system on a course that was currently taking it towards the Sol system, no doubt to gateway station. A small group rouses to go and investigate the sister ship and discover the truth.
**This is of course where we enter, we don't know what happened on LV-426, nor where the Sulaco has been. Marines or even crew can transit from the Valkeros to the Sulaco. We only saw the Marines in Aliens, so that means there is crew still aboard in cryosleep, just like on our ship. Obviously there is will heavy fire damage as well. What else we meet in there...well, I'm sure you'll know.
**Also, we'll want to stop the Sulaco from getting to Gateway Station, and you all can figure out why
Rules
= Only humans are allowed to be controlled by a player in this RPG.
= All Xenos encountered fall under the typical "beast" mentality, how smart they act depends on who's writing about their foe. Some may be smart, others may just throw themselves at the player.
= Standard USCM weapons from any universe are allowed, even some modified versions, although I don't think SADAR would be helpful.
= Please try and be descriptive of what you are doing and saying, I don't care too much about language so long as it fits into context. A curse every other word is TOO much.
= You cannot kill another character unless the other player says its ok
