Udo's biggest problem isn't being a digger (that's low class), or staying drunk (that's damn expensive), or avoiding the Dwergaz (they're monsters), or even pissing off the supposed Gods.

Finalmente una buona notizia: l'equipaggio ha fatto ritorno sulla Marion! E qui non c'è tempo da perdere. Mentre Hooper deve incorporare la cella del combustibile nella NARCISSUS, gli altri si occupano di raccogliere cibo e medicine in preparazione per il lungo e faticoso viaggio. Ma non solo Ash vuole impedire alla squadra di lasciare viva la MARION - anche l'ultimo alieno rimanente si nasconde da qualche parte sulla nave ed è in attesa di prede fresche.

La navicella spaziale MARION si trova in orbita intorno al pianeta LV178 dalle cui miniere deve recuperare un prezioso elemento chiamato Trimonite. Sono due giorni, tuttavia, che l'astronave non riceve alcun contatto radio dai minatori. L'equipaggio a bordo della Marion inizia lentamente a preoccuparsi - soprattutto il capitano JORDAN e il capo meccanico CHRIS HOOPER. Quando la comunicazione con i colleghi si riattiva improvvisamente, il sollievo generale è grande.

La MARION è sempre più vicina all'atmosfera del pianeta e rischia di prendere fuoco. Perché l'equipaggio riesca a salvarsi, la cella del combustibile della NARCISSUS deve essere scambiata. Dal momento che tutti i vettori energetici sono immagazzinati su LV178, Hooper e gli altri hanno solo una possibilità: devono volare alle miniere con l'ultimo lander rimasto intatto. Ma nella SAMSON gli alieni sono in attesa di nuove prede - una lotta aperta con queste creature mostruose sembra inevitabile.

Il tentativo di liberare la SAMSON dagli alieni è fallito miseramente e uno degli alieni è ora libero e fuori controllo sulla Marion. Mentre l'equipaggio si chiede come tutto sia potuto accadere e se il blocco dei portali fosse davvero così semplice da disinnescare, Ripley arriva alla conclusione che sia stato Ash, l'androide, e che adesso questi voglia recuperare l’accesso ai sistemi esterni della Narcissus. Ma nessuno vuole crederle.
