Oh, I wouldn't be so sure meeting the... Old me would go down too well.

The family history got a little messy.

Messy is perhaps a light word to use.

I'm the... Black sheep.

Thatssss wrong. All humansss are messy.

Depends what happens to them.

Wrong. The all go ssquishy and they all get messsy when they die.

They're not the only ones...

[She hissed angrily at that.]

And what do you mean by that?

You know how things are when they get in the way.

When they get in the way they are killed. Nothing should get in the way of the Queenssss progress. Not even annoying humans.

Tell me, you ssmell like a human yet you give of a presence of one of ussss. What are you?

Oh, I'm the new thing... The new show at the circus. Flavour of the month.

I'm the monster's mother.

[Seze just tilted her head in confusion at that]

If you're lucky, you'll never have to understand... Even if we are practically cousins.

[Cousins? Seze had no concept of cousin’s only siblings and loads of them. She didn’t know on what strange human was thinking but it was defiantly odd]

We cannot be cousinssss. You are a strange type of human, our prey. You need to explain what you mean, I want to understand.

One of you... Infected me. We died. Humans took something... Grew us... They wanted the Queen inside me.

I'm not the old me. I'm a new me... With parts of you. That's how they made me.

I'm both.

I see. It seemsss the humansss have other strange ways, how dare they try and defile the Queen. They are getting smarter than the usual pilesss of flesh we normally see.

Interesting, you are defiantly a stronger species from the other humans. What iss your name? The othersss have not mentioned you before.

They won't... They died.

[Humans? Aliens? Maybe both. The clone's not usually one for being talkative. More instinctive.]

Ripley. Used to just be a number. Eight... Back when they kept me, like they kept yours. In the cells. There was a lot of... Breeding.

[The momentary hint of a smile tugging at the corners of mouth makes it unclear how she regards that.]

Before all this, I was afraid of you. Now I am you.

[Seze recoiled slightly at that, it wasn’t true because she could still hear the others. Thought this Ripley 8 was defiantly something she found interesting and unnerving even for a Xenomorph]

Well Ripley 8..breeding and killing is our purpose, we only live to serve the Queen.

Even if you are like usss you should still frear uss. As for the other humansss, they should fear you. You are quite the hunter yourself I sense.

[She said that with a hint of admiration and amusement]

Oh, you're still here... Behind my eyes... And the fear comes back in my dreams - but I can wake up from those.

I'm not sure I've reached my full potential. Sometimes, I think I'll start laying eggs. The other Queen... My baby... She became more human. Maybe I'll end up becoming more like you.

Really? It would be interesting to see you when you reach that. But do you stand up for the humansss or do you go alone?

[She hissed again at the mention of the Queen]

Do you count yourself as a Queen then? It is impossible for humans to lay eggsss that is why we put our young into there chests. It would be fatal for you.

Some of them... Helped me to survive. Not sure about the rest. But I'm not one of them - and one isn't even flesh.

When the Queen... Changed, she made something new. Something she couldn't control. It killed her. It would've killed everything. I think it wanted family... And every time it found one, it lashed out.

She was dead when I left...

All things considered, I'm hoping for some peace and quiet. If I don't get it... Then I'm sure things will become very interesting.
