When the film opens, Ellen Ripley has been in stasis for 57 years aboard an escape shuttle after destroying her ship, the Nostromo, to escape an alien creature that slaughtered her crew. She is rescued and debriefed by her employers at the Weyland-Yutani Corporation, who are skeptical about her claim that there are alien eggs in a derelict ship on the exomoon LV-426,[a] since it is now the site of a terraforming colony. After contact with the colony is lost, Weyland-Yutani representative Carter Burke, and Colonial Marine Lieutenant Gorman ask Ripley to accompany them to investigate. Still traumatized by her alien encounter, she agrees on the condition that they exterminate the creatures. Ripley is introduced to the Colonial Marines on the spaceship Sulaco but distrusts their android, Bishop, because the android aboard the Nostromo had betrayed its crew to protect the alien, on company orders. A dropship delivers the expedition to the surface of LV-426, where they find the battle-ravaged colony and two live alien facehuggers in containment tanks, but no bodies or colonists except for a traumatized young girl, nicknamed Newt. The team locates the colonists beneath the fusion-powered atmosphere-processing station, and heads to their location, descending into corridors that are covered in alien secretions. At the station center, the Marines find opened eggs and dead facehuggers alongside the cocooned colonists, who are now serving as incubators for the creatures' offspring. The Marines kill an infant alien after it bursts from a colonist's chest; this rouses several adult aliens, who ambush the Marines and kill or capture many of them. When Gorman, who is inexperienced, panics, Ripley assumes command, takes control of their armored personnel carrier, and rams the nest in order to rescue Corporal Dwayne Hicks and Privates Hudson and Vasquez. Hicks then orders the dropship crew to recover the survivors, but a stowaway alien kills the pilots, and the ship crashes into the station. The survivors, now almost out of ammunition and resources, barricade themselves inside the colony. Ripley discovers that Burke had ordered the colonists
