Captain Paget and her Colonial Marines—along with assorted survivors from ill-fated missions to the planets LV-797 and LV-223—went through hell to finally make it safely back to the USS Hasdrubal, only to discover that one member of their party, Chris, believed to be dead, was still alive on the surface of LV-223— inside an Alien hive! When Paget led a rescue mission back to the planet, the team encountered two others of the presumed dead—Galgo and his Predator companion, Ahab. Together, they make their way to the hive to save Chris even though they may be too late!
