 [ LEGACY
Legacy of the Dragon is a
complete Cinematic scenario
for the ALIEN roleplaying
game. It’s designed for 3-5
players plus GM.
The scenario is a sequel of
sorts to Alien3, after the lead
works has been put up for sale
and, crucially, after Morse has
written his account of the
events in Space Beast.
CHARACTERS
This scenario comes with six pre-
generated player characters – the
Seegson expedition to Fiorina 161
– found on pages 7. Let the players
choose who they want to play. The
leftover crew members are NPCs
under your control.
When your players have chosen
their starting PCs and familiarised
themselves with the characters
sheets, read the boxed text entitled
“What’s the story, Mother?” out
loud (see page 5).
OF THE DRAGON ]
“Some get called, some get
saved.”
- Dillon
FOR MOTHER’S EYES ONLY
This entire booklet is solely for the
GM, to be read before the game
begins. Players should NOT read
the scenario text beforehand to
avoid spoiling the mystery of what is
in store for them.
Then hand each player their
Personal Agenda (see page 30) for
the First Act to kick off the action.
If any of the PCs should die
during the course of the scenario,
you can use NPCs from the crew
as replacements.
GEAR: In addition to their starting
gear, the PCs have access to the
gear aboard the USCSS Otago.
This can be split among the group
however they see fit.
[3
[ SCENARIO ]

PERSONAL AGENDAS
Each character has a Personal
Agenda for each of the three Acts of
this scenario. These Agendas are
collected at the end of the booklet. At
the start of each Act, give each player
their new Agenda and tell them not to
reveal it to the other players.
EVALUATING AGENDAS: At the end
of each Act, collect the Agendas from
the players and evaluate them
individually. If you feel a player has
actively advanced their PC’s Agenda
despite significant personal risk
or sacrifice, announce this and award
them one Story Point (see page 61 of
the core rulebook). Don’t reveal the
actual Agendas to the entire group, as
these should remain hidden until the
end of the scenario.
REPLACEMENT PCs: Only original
PCs have written Personal Agendas
for the three Acts of the scenario.
NPCs used as replacement PCs have
only one Agenda that remains the
same for the entire scenario. ◼

THE CHILD OF THE DRAGON

One of the Seegson Expedition is a
follower of a cult who call themselves
the Children of the Dragon. After the
players have chosen PCs, decide
which is the cultist. When handing out
Personal Agendas, the chosen PC’s
Agendas are replaced with the
Cultist’s Agendas. The Cultist can be “All I did was tell about
an NPC if you prefer.
the dragon.”
- Golic
CALLING PVP: Revealing the Cultist
has a high risk of triggering direct
confrontations with other PCs (see
page 32 of the core rulebook). If this
happens, play out the current scene
and then turn Cultist into an NPC,
letting the player choose another
character to play.

WHAT’S THE STORY, MOTHER?

Several years ago, a
decommissioned facility was put
on the market by Weyland-
Yutani.
The lead foundry on Fiorina
‘Fury’ 161 was, according to
official reports, the site of a
virulent strain of cholera, which
killed all but one of the custodial
staff. Since that time, the
survivor – a prisoner named
Morse – has refuted the W-Y
claims in a book called Space
Beast. Morse writes that some
kind of hostile lifeform –
sometimes referred to as a
Dragon – was responsible for the
deaths. The book has been
banned in all W-Y colonies, but
copies can still be obtained.
While most view the work as a
diverting piece of fiction, some
different view: an insidious cult
has formed around the text,
believing it to herald the End
Times.
You are a survey team aboard
the USCSS Otago sent by
Seegson to evaluate the Fiorina
161 facility. Accompanying the
expedition is a representative
from Weyland-Yutani, a small
security detail, and some
Working Joe androids.
The three-week trip from the
Seesgon-owned space station
Pevek has been quiet and
routine, a feeling most hope will
continue over into the job itself.
Now, you are just awakening
from hypersleep, ready to
conduct the week-long appraisal
and get home…

“Your wrath has come, and the time is near for us to be

judged. The apocalypse is upon us” Let us be ready!”
- Dillon

THE SITUATION
SCENARIO OVERVIEW
The Seegson expedition have arrived
in orbit around Fiorina 161. Landing
on the surface, the team gain access
to the lead foundry, noting that it has
become a shrine to the Children of the
Dragon, a cult following Morse’s
writings. Power is restored and the
team start the evaluation. Evidence of
previous inhabitants litters the area.
They soon discover that radio
signals and motion trackers do not
work very well within the thick walls of
the foundry. Added to that, something
SCENARIO BACKGROUND
The original Xenomorph on Fury 161
created a small hive deep within the
facility, converting Superintendent
Andrews, CMO Clemens, and
Prisoners Boggs and Rains into
Ovomorphs.
In the subsequent years, the site
has become a shrine to the Children
of the Dragon. Husband and wife
Daniel and Emma Green got inside
and stumbled upon the hive. Daniel
was attacked by a Facehugger. Emma
dragged him back to their ship.
The Chestburster was born as they
took off, causing the Emma to crash.

or someone is stalking them in the
shadows.
A Xenomorph drone, born from a
cultist who managed to get into the
facility, hunts the expedition. Escape
isn’t an option: hostile conditions force
them back inside and the ship’s AI
won’t let them bring a potentially
deadly organism away.
The survey team has to contend
with alien parasites and a traitor in
their midst…
Battered and terrified, Emma fled
back into the facility. The Chestburster
followed her inside.
Emma, her sanity fraying, spent
weeks avoiding the xenomorph and
trying to repair her ship with the parts
she could find, but very little works.
MOTHER’S NOTE: At the start of the
scenario, there is one passive
xenomorph, in the hive (see Page 20).
If you wish to give your players a
challenge, Emma could also have
been infected, resulting in two
xenomorphs. Or perhaps her
Chestburster hasn’t been born yet…

UNIT
OVERVIEW
The colony on Fiorina 161 started
as a Weyland-Yutani commercial
mining operation in 2118. However,
with the natural resources not as
plenteous as first thought, the site
was decommissioned in 2152.
The facility was leased to the
Three World Empire, who used it as
a Class C penal colony. The site
was reconfigured to house double-
Y chromosome, maximum-risk
inmates. The prisoners themselves
were used as a source of free
labour in a lead foundry run on
natural methane that was
constructed alongside the prison.
The entire complex was powered
by an automated fusion reactor and
spread out over 16 kilometres.
Water was supplied from a nearby
bay after being desalinated.
At its peak, the facility housed
5,000 male inmates. Many followed
an apocalyptic millenarian faith
based on Christianity.
“I’m smart enough not to have a life sentence on this rock!”
14 ] - Aaron
Local bugs and insects,
referred to “lice”, fed on the
keratin in human hair. The
remaining staff had to constantly
shave their heads and bodies or
live with pain and irritation.
Weyland-Yutani closed the
facility in 2175, leaving behind a
skeleton crew of former
prisoners and wardens. The only
contact the custodians had with
the outside world was via a
supply ship every six months.
Vast swathes of the complex
were left unlit and unheated.
By 2179, the facility was
under the authority of
Superintendent Andrews. Guard
Aaron and Medical Officer
Clemens served under him,
looking after the remaining
twenty-two men. All but one was
killed by a Xenomorph which
arrived with Lt Ripley aboard an
EEV from the USCSS Sulaco.
 [ LEGACY
THE FACILITY
The main entrance to the facility is
in a sheltered well, protected from
the elements.
Most of the functional areas have
white tiles, now yellowed with age
and dirt. Further into the complex,
the aesthetic becomes industrial:
worn steel and chipped concrete
become standard. The
passageways to the furnace and
foundry are poorly lit metallic pipes.
Everywhere is the reek of damp
and decay, except closer to the
cooled foundry where dust hangs
thick in the air.
SHOWER ROOM
Immediately inside the main door is
a decontamination shower. Plastic
sheeting flaps in the howling wind.
Personal shower rooms branch off
from the main room, allowing for
more privacy when needed. Locker
rooms contain nothing but busted
storage containers and waterproof
Weyland-Yutani ponchos.
WORKSHOP
Another way into the facility is
through the doors into the loading
area. The previous custodians used
this room for keeping and killing
livestock. The remains of an ox lie
in a crumpled heap in the middle of
the room. Its flesh has long since
been eaten by lice. +1 STRESS for
anyone encountering the carcass.
OF THE DRAGON ]
SMALL LIVESTOCK
Behind the Loading Area are
small cages for chickens. The
bodies of seven birds have been
left.
WATER PLANT ROOM
Two vast water pumps in this space
are a tangle of pipes. Neither is
switched on, but if power is
restored, they will make quite a
noise. The soundproof cladding in
the room has seen better days.
POWER PLANT ROOM
This is a tiled room with pipes,
wires, boxes and fuse boards
crammed into cages. Power can be
restored assuming the circuit
breakers in the Fuse Room (below)
have been tripped and a HEAVY
MACHINERY roll is successful.
Failure results in a blown
compression cylinder. Spares are
available, but they must be hunted
down. If an additional HEAVY
MACHINERY or OBSERVATION
roll is successful, PCs may figure
out that, even when working, the
system can’t take much strain. Any
additional power requirements may
blow at least one compression
cylinder.
STORAGE ROOMS
In the storage rooms throughout
the facility, players may find
mundane utility supplies and a
MAINTENANCE JACK (at GM
discretion). Flares and batteries
abound, but most of the latter
don’t work.

MAIN ENTRANCE
MESS HALL 2
Mess Hall 2 is like every work
canteen across the galaxy.
Functional, minimalist, with long
tables and moulded plastic chairs
with metal legs. A pile of broken
chairs nestle in one corner. Holes in
the ceiling reveal the massive air
vents above. The doors are
covered in crude graffiti. The walls
are decorated in coloured glass
and, when the power is on, lit from
behind.
Beyond the shuttered service
counter is an industrial kitchen and

storeroom. A walk-in freezer is
set into the back wall. With the
power off, everything has long
since spoiled, but there is
evidence of life. Camping kit is
set up under a shelving unit and
empty dried food bags are
scattered around. The freezer is
lockable from the inside.
A successful OBSERVATION
roll will notice scratch marks on
the outside of the thick door.
This is where Green has been

ADMINISTRATION
Administration is a collection of
abandoned offices with rusty desks
and rickety furniture. They all have
glass walls, as if trying to give the
impression of space.
STAFF OFFICES
Two offices have been
converted into living quarters,
with makeshift curtains over the
windows for privacy.
The first is sparse, with only a
dog-eared photograph of a
smiling woman and child to mark
it out. A jacket with ‘Aaron,
Francis’ sewn into the label
informs PCs who stayed here.
The second room contains a
few boxing trophies with
‘Andrews’ engraved on them.
QUARTERMASTER’S
OFFICES
Beyond these rooms is the
Quartermaster’s Office. Searching
this room for 3 or more Turns will
reveal 2 compression cylinders.
SUPERINTENDENT’S
OFFICES
At the far end, the final office could
be considered palatial. A worn
wooden desk sits in front of a
window overlooking the Assembly
Room (see below). In the corner is
a filing cabinet, its drawers open
and its contents gone.
In an annex of the
Superintendent’s office is the
18 ]
grandly named Communications
Suite. The clunky Weyland-Yutani
computer terminal is old by
anyone’s standards and needs
power to work.
Booting the system requires a
COMTECH -2 roll due to the age
and condition of the equipment.
Working with the computer for a
Turn will get access to the archived
messages (see nearby panel). Any
PC reading the messages gain +1
STRESS.
Once the messages have been
read, the system will display an
error message: UNABLE TO
RETRIEVE ADDITIONAL DATA
FROM COMM BUFFER ARRAY.
FURNACE
There is a direct route from the
Mess Halls to the lower levels of the
Furnace, but over time the door has
seized and cannot be opened.
Instead, access is gained through a
series of winding, disorientating
tunnels and walkways. Dozens of
smaller passages shoot off,
swallowed almost immediately by
the perpetual darkness. Even
restoring power will not light most of
these areas, leaving plenty of
shadows for something to hide in.
Large barrels are stored in
several large chambers. These
contain quinitricetyline, and a single
barrel can explode with Power 12,
Intensity 12. A minimum of Strength
3 is needed to move a barrel by one
person, and a solo effort will gain
+1 STRESS.

THE HIVE
Deep within the tunnels to the
furnace, the Dragon made its nest.
Finding it in the darkness is next to
impossible, but any would-be
explorers should roll
OBSERVATION -1 or SURVIVAL -
1. Any failures results in them
becoming lost, and gaining +1
STRESS.
This does not put the PCs in
danger yet. After another Turn, the
same skills can be tested, but at -2.
Success will bring them back into
familiar paths (or at least
somewhere better signposted).
Failure will cause them to stumble
into the small hive.
Resin coats the walls, turning
them tumorous. Beneath a thick
pipe are four Ovomorphs. Closest
to the hive entrance is an open egg,
but the three further back are still
sealed. All PCs in the hive gain +1
STRESS.
If the GM wishes, the
Xenomorph can tucked into space
between pipes near the ceiling. It is
PASSIVE when PCs enter the hive,
but will become ACTIVE if they
bring themselves to its attention.
To escape the hive, two
consecutive OBSERVATION -1 or
SURVIVAL -1 rolls must be made.
For any PCs brought here by the
Xenomorph during the scenario,
they will need to escape the same
way (after getting out of the resin
and dodging Facehuggers).
20 ]
HANGARS
A twisting corridor leads to twin
tunnels close to breakers yards.
They may have once been
designed as hangars for small
shuttles, but now they are dumping
grounds. Access ports on opposite
sides of each allow for two ways in
and out. Uncovered as they are,
they offer little protection from the
elements, but each has a sheltered
workstation.
One pit contains a Class C EEV.
The flight recorder has been
removed and all remaining data
wiped. It does have a functioning
medical scanner.
An OBSERVATION roll will pick
out that, amid the wreckage, there
is a strange burn on one of the
cryo-tubes which doesn’t match the
rest of the damage.
MEDICAL CENTRE
The majority of Medical has been
decommissioned. Only Infirmary 1
(below) was in use, although
Infirmary 3 looks to have been used
as a living space by someone.
Medical is still, silent, dark.
Sheets of crinkling plastic catch the
light like rheumy eyes. The once-
white tiles are the same yellow as
the chemical showers – nothing
stays clean here for long.
All of the treatment rooms have
been abandoned and any
equipment has long since been
removed.
 [ LEGACY OF THE DRAGON ]

One bed is a complete mess, small pharmacy, with locked

covered in dried blood. A poor job
has been made to clean a lot of
blood directly under an air vent, but
so long has passed that it is now
just another stain on the floor.
Between Infirmary 1 and 2 is a
cabinets full of out-of-date
medications.
Entry into Infirmary 2 must be
through the pharmacy as the
front door is locked and warped.
Searching this room for a Turn

[ 21
[ SCENARIO ]
will reveal that the stored medical
equipment isn’t dumped, but has
actually been arranged to distil
alcohol.
The bottles stored under the still
can be used as makeshift bombs,
causing fire with Intensity 7.
The Chapel is unlocked but looks
unused, even before the facility
closed. Whatever religion the
custodians followed, they didn’t do it
here.
At the far end of Medical are the
theatres. One is used for storage.
Beyond them, through a set of double
doors and down a ramp, is the
morgue.
MORGUE
The morgue can be accessed via the
spiral staircase through the main
office, the ramp to theatre, or the
rooms to the back.
Cavernous, the room is more a
place of worship than anywhere else
in the facility. The air is cold, and it
has nothing to do with the lack of
heating.
Chief Medical Officer Clemens
notes are on a clipboard beside the
wall of cold storage. He noted two
deaths in 2179: one, a young girl who
drowned but was subsequently
investigated for signs of cholera,
though none were found; the other
was Thomas Murphy, an inmate who
backed into a ventilation fan.
CELLS
The living space for the custodians
22 ]
lines the way to the Assembly
Room (see below). Some prisoners
hung sheets over their bars for
privacy.
In the 20 or so cells that were
used, there is only room for a bed
and a cabinet. Coats hang in
lockers, and clothing is stored in
crates beneath the beds. There are
very few personal items.
Searching will take a Shift. Roll
2D6 on the table below for each
PC.
2 – Makeshift shiv or knife
3 – Fire Axe (use Knife stats)
4 – Maintenance Jack
5 – W-Y clothing
6 – Pack of cigarettes
7 – Flare (purple, no bonus,
Damage 1 if used in Close Combat,
Fire Intensity 5)
8 – Religious symbol
9 – W-Y workwear
10 – Fire extinguisher
11 – Candy bar
12 – Technical Manual on facility
operations
ASSEMBLY ROOM
This tall room is overlooked by the
Superintendent’s office. This is
where custodians would gather to
meet and serves as the main
entrance to the lead foundry
beyond. It has no ventilation ducts
and, save going through the
tunnels, is the quickest way into the
main facility.
 [ LEGACY
EVENTS
The following section contains
events that you can spring on the
players, divided into Act I, II, and
III. These events don’t all need to
occur, and they don’t need to occur
in the order listed. Instead, use the
events to drive the action and
drama as you see fit.
Some events are mandatory,
and have been indicated.
Remember to give the players
new Personal Agendas at the start
of each Act.
ACT I – THE ASS-END OF SPACE
MEET THE NEW CREW
(MANDATORY)
The passengers and crew of the
Otago awaken from hypersleep on
approach to Fiorina 161 and gather
in the galley for breakfast. They
didn’t have much time to get to
know one another before level
Pevek, so this would be a good
time for the players to properly
introduce the PCs to one another.
For the first Shift, all PCs will count
as Dehydrated (see page 106 of the
core rulebook) due to the effects of
hypersleep.
OF THE DRAGON ]
“What are we gonna use as
bait?”
- Gregor
DON’T RUSH IT
When the PCs arrive at the facility,
let them settle and work on building
atmosphere and tension. Let them
explore the familiar settings from
Alien3. Only when you think you’ve
laid enough groundwork should you
start pushing events on them.
RUMOUR CONTROL
(MANDATORY)
As Roberts and Foster prepare to
bring the Otago in for final
approach to the planet, Ethan
asks everyone to assemble in the
cargo bay for a briefing.
He will provide an overview of
the Fiorina 161 facility (use details
from the Overview provided on
page 14 of this booklet and page
254 of the core rulebook). Ethan
does NOT know about the
xenomorph attack, but is aware of
Morse’s Space Beast book and
the rumours within. He will deny
these entirely: as far as he is
concerned, the prisoners died
[ 23
[ SCENARIO ]
from a mutant strain of cholera.
Weyland-Yutani does not think the
facility is profitable and is selling it
for scrap. He believes that a
thorough inspection of the site will
take no more than a week.
Due to the lice, Ethan
recommends visitors shaving all
hair. Anyone who doesn’t risks
attracting the insects, and will suffer
-1 to all rolls due to being
distracted and in pain.
BUMPY RIDE
The descent to the surface is rough.
Roberts does his best to keep the
Otago steady, but howling wind
buffets the ship. Unsecured
equipment in the cargo bay could
become dangerous projectiles.
Moving around the ship is risky:
MOBILITY -1 rolls are required.
LANDING (MANDATORY)
Due to debris littered around the
landing platform, the Otago lands
near the frozen beach about 3
Turns away from the main facility.
PCs will need to hike back. With a
COMTECH +1 roll, the Working
Joes can be brought online to carry
any equipment the PCs require.
WEATHER WARNING
As the group, including Foster and
Roberts, approaches the facility,
A.P.O.L.L.O warns of an ice storm
rolling in from the sea.
Temperatures are set to plummet to
-20°C, likely to freeze anyone
caught outside (see page 107 of the
core rulebook). Anyone not wearing
cold weather gear will need a
STAMINA roll every second Turn.
24 ]
CRASHED SHIP
The main landing platform is a
covered in scrap. A collapsed
crane hides the wreckage Daniel
and Emma Green’s ship, which
crashed just after take off when
Daniel’s Chestburster was born.
His corpse is still aboard,
strapped into the co-pilot seat.
Finding his remains gains +1
STRESS.
The ship’s MU/TH/UR can be
brought online with a COMTECH -
3 roll. Success will gain access to
the navigation logs, which show
that the ship, the Cecilia, came
from a Weyland-Yutani colony on
the Solomons.
There is nothing else of interest
aboard.
THE LAIR OF THE
DRAGON
(MANDATORY)
The Fiorina 161 site is accessed
via a sunken stairwell leading to a
sheltered door. Graffiti regarding
the Space Beast covers every
surface. The door has a keypad,
which has been ripped from the
wall. A battery has been attached
to stripped wires which hang like
torn intestines, and judging by the
weathering of the electronics, the
damage is only within the last few
weeks. As far as Ethan is aware,
nobody has set foot in the facility
since it closed, but the door has
clearly been hacked.
Beyond the door, the
chemical shower room is in
absolute darkness. Once the
Seegson expedition enter the
facility, enter STEALTH MODE
 [ LEGACY
(see page 85 of the core
rulebook).
Ethan suggests heading to the
Power Plant Room to restore
power.
NOTHING MUCH WORKS
HERE (MANDATORY)
As the group moves further into the
facility, they will find that radio
signals do not travel very well, and
any comms devices are unreliable.
Anyone looking at their Motion
Trackers will notice strong
interference. Unless the group are
in the Map 1 or Loading Area, a
COMTECH roll is needed to
interpret the Motion Tracker
readings. In Administration and
the Hangars, this becomes
COMTECH -1, and in Medical, the
Furnace, and the tunnels around
the Hive, it is COMTECH -2.
The interference also applies to
the Working Joes. The further from
A.P.O.L.L.O’s signal they are, the
less responsive they become.
When a Working Joe is in
Administration or the Hangars,
roll a D6 every Turn. On a 1-3, the
Joe has lost signal and will continue
with the last instruction it received.
In Medical, the Furnace, and the
tunnels around the Hive, on a 1-4,
the Joe has lost the signal. Entering
another Zone will trigger another
roll, and if the Joe enters an area
not indicated above, the signal will
return as normal.
WE HAVE POWER
(MANDATORY)
Power can be restored to the entire
facility by reaching the Power Plant
OF THE DRAGON ]
Room and following the
instructions given on page 15.
With the power on, the
expedition is free to explore the
rest of the facility without fear of
tripping over in the dark.
More importantly, however,
is that the power now
thrumming through cables
throughout the lead works is a
signal to the Xenomorph that
prey has arrived. From this
point on, the Xenomorph will
be ACTIVE and drawn into
toward the expedition. Allow
the PCs to continue to explore,
and introduce the Xenomorph
at the end of Act I (see below).
THE GRAND TOUR
Allow the PCs to explore the
facility, as described in the
previous section.
THE FORMER CULTIST
As per the entries for Mess Hall 1
and Mess Hall 2 in the previous
section, there are indications of at
least one other person living here.
Movement may be detected on
the Motion Tracker or may be
spotted with a successful
OBSERVATION roll. If the PCs
chase after this movement, they
will eventually corner Emma
Green in the Power Plant Room
where she is attempting to turn
the power back off. If successful,
the PCs can switch the power
back on, but be aware of the
compression cylinders.
Regardless of what happens in
the Power Plant Room, Green
will be desperate to leave. She is

THE HIVE
PCs exploring the tunnels may
encounter the Hive as per the
previous section. END OF ACT I
If these PCs encountering the
Xenomorph would be appropriately
dramatic, do so as the end of Act I.
If NPCs have gone exploring,
they may encounter the Hive and
Xenomorph off-screen. Whether
they are killed outright, or brought
back to be infected is at GM’s
discretion.
This event can also occur during
Act II or Act III.

ISSUES WITH THE

OTAGO
Anyone able to receive radio
comms will receive a garbled
transmission from A.P.O.L.L.O
indicating that the tide has risen to
flood the bay where the ship
landed, making access difficult.
Moreover, the Otago is at risk of
being frozen in place.

26 ]
 [ LEGACY
ACT II – THE WATERHOLE
At the end of Act I, the Xenomorph
attacked the PCs. It can be scared
off by being wounded, whereby it
will try to flee into the vents to
rethink its strategy.
Having defeated the Xenomorph
for the time being, the PCs have a
chance to regroup and regain their
composure and work on getting out.
Of course, things never run
smoothly…
THEY CUT THE POWER
The compression cylinder in the
Power Plant Room blows,
plunging the facility into
darkness, causing +1 STRESS.
All doors must be manually
opened and closed using
HEAVY MACHINERY rolls.
See the Power Plant Room
entry for more details on
restoring the power.
ESCAPE PLAN
Quick PCs will immediately decide
to call the expedition off and head
for the safety of the Otago.
The Xenomorph can be used to
keep them in (by setting up an
ambush at whichever exit the PCs
head for), or can follow them back
to the ship.
Outside, the weather has dropped
below freezing (see page 107 of the
core rulebook), and the journey
back to the ship takes 10 Turns due
to the driving wind and snow.
Anyone not wearing cold weather
gear will need a STAMINA roll
every second Turn.
The cargo lift into the ship is
OF THE DRAGON ]
frozen under the ice. An
emergency ladder provides
access, but due to
the conditions, requires a
MOBILITY -1 roll.
If the PCs make it this far, the
Xenomorph will sneak aboard and
continue to stalk the expedition.
This scenario will not detail events
for that possibility, but draw on
Alien for inspiration. The Otago is
a much smaller vessel than the
Nostromo, so care must be taken
not to put the Xenomorph in a
position where it can be dealt with
easily.
INFESTATION
Any PCs who have not shaved
their heads will have become host
to lice. They gain +1 STRESS and
-1 to all rolls due to pain and
distraction.
There are clippers in the
infirmary.
YOU ALWAYS KNOW…
The Working Joes have become
less responsive and are likely to
ignore instructions. If anyone tries
to become physical with them, the
Working Joes will react with
violence.
They will attempt to stop
anyone returning to the Otago.
Interacting with A.P.O.L.L.O will
reveal that the mainframe cannot
allow a potentially deadly parasitic
organism to leave the planet.
[ 27
[ SCENARIO ]
SENDING A MESSAGE
PCs who do not want to venture
outside can attempt to use the
Communications Suite in the
Superintendent’s Office to contact
the Otago.
A.P.O.L.L.O will respond by
informing the PCs that the ship is
stuck in ice and is unlikely to be
able to move until that has melted
(likely in a day or so).
FEELING THE COLD
Even with the power on, the facility
will be cold. PCs will need
STAMINA rolls every Shift (or more
frequently if they are inactive) to
stave off freezing.
SCREAMS IN THE DARK
If the expedition has to split up, the
Xenomorph will stalk the smaller
group. If both groups are the same
size, it will stalk the group without a
Motion Tracker.
Anyone who is damaged at all
by the Xenomorph will be knocked
out and taken back to the Hive.
PCs should gain +1 STRESS
from seeing or hearing the
Xenomorph take one of the
expedition.
RESCUE
If Ethan is still functional, he will
volunteer to rescue any kidnapped
members of the expedition. He
knows the plans of the facility (and
Green’s story) to find the Hive. He
will go alone if nobody else
volunteers.
28 ]
WAKING UP IN HELL
Anyone unlucky enough to have
been taken by the Xenomorph will
wake up in the Hive, suspending
in resin above an Egg. It will open
after 4 Rounds.
Breaking a limb is will be a
SURVIVAL -2 or STRENGTH -2
roll. After three limbs are free, the
resin will crumble entirely.
While restrained, using a gun
or other weapon requires at least
one free hand and is at a -1
penalty.
If the PC does not escape in 4
Rounds, the Facehugger will
pounce.
DREAMS OF THE MAD
Green, already fragile from her
experiences and seeing her hope
of rescue disappearing, takes to
calling the Xenomorph ‘Daniel’.
She behaves as if it is her
husband, and will actively stop
anyone from trying to hurt it.
END OF ACT II
 [ LEGACY
ACT III – LEGACY OF THE DRAGON
In Act III, the PCs will need to fight
for their lives against possibly
increasing numbers of Xenomorphs
and insane cultists. What happens
is determined by the Personal
Agendas and circumstance, but
mainly by the players. Suggested
events are:
CALLING FOR HELP
The Communications Suite can
be used to send a distress call,
but the dishes are unaligned. A
team will need to travel across
the surface, braving the
conditions, and manually realign
the Comms array. Doing so will
need a COMTECH -1 roll.
EPILOGUE
AGENDAS, STORY POINTS, AND SIGNING OFF
Once the scenario has finished,
determine how well the players
followed their PC’s Personal
Agendas and give a Story Point for
each who did.

WORKERS UNITE
The Working Joes abandon the
facility and return to the Otago.
They will attempt to stop anyone
entering the ship.
If PCs make it back to the ship,
A.P.O.L.L.O could begin a self-
destruct sequence, although can
be convinced not to (how, though,
is up to the players!).
HUNTED
The Xenomorph(s) will continue to
stalk the PCs until none are left.
END OF ACT III
Assuming anyone is still alive,
one of the surviving PCs could
read the text in the box below.
The rest of the expedition and
