A deep-space salvage crew finds an escape shuttle where Ellen Ripley has been in stasis for 57 years after destroying her ship, the Nostromo, to kill an alien creature that slaughtered the crew.

Still traumatized by her alien encounter, she agrees on the condition that they exterminate the creatures.

The team locates the other colonists' signals beneath the fusion-powered atmosphere processing station and heads to their location, descending into corridors covered in alien secretions.
