Showing results for "Tim-" in Dramatisations

As a child, Chris Hooper dreamed of monsters. But in deep space, he found only darkness and isolation. Then, on planet LV178, he and his fellow miners discovered a storm-scoured, sand-blasted hell - and trimonite, the hardest material known to man. When a shuttle crashes into the mining ship Marion, the miners learn that there was more than trimonite deep in the caverns.

A man awakens in a clearing in what appears to be medieval England with no memory of who he is, where he came from, or why he is there. Chased by a group from his own time, his sole hope for survival lies in regaining his missing memories, making allies among the locals, and perhaps even trusting in their superstitious boasts. His only help from the “real world” should have been a guidebook entitled The Frugal Wizard’s Handbook for Surviving Medieval England, except his copy exploded during transit.

A window is but a piece of glass through which we view the world outside. It is not meant to distort. It is not intended to do anything but show us things as they are. At Oxford, though, there is a very particular window that reveals a very particular view. It is a view that defies all laws of nature and science. And when a detective is called in to investigate, he is startled to find that view opens a window into his own life–and a mystery he has never been able to solve.

Die Crew ist mittlerweile auf dem Planeten gelandet. Begleitet von der Angst, jeden Moment auf weitere Aliens zu treffen, versucht man, sich zu den Minen vorzukämpfen. Doch die seltsamen Zufälle und Systemfehler häufen sich - weshalb Ripley nicht müde wird, davor zu warnen, dass Ash seinen teuflischen Plan auch hier unten weiter verfolgt. Und es scheint tatsächlich so, als wäre der bösartige Android ihnen immer einen Schritt voraus.

Die gute Nachricht: Die Crew hat es tatsächlich zurück zu MARION geschafft! Und hier gilt es keine Zeit zu verlieren. Während Hooper die Brennstoffzelle in die NARCISSUS einbauen muss, sollen die anderen Lebensmittel und Medikamente einsammeln, um für die lange und beschwerliche Reise gewappnet zu sein. Doch nicht nur Ash will das Team davon abhalten, die MARION lebend zu verlassen - auch das letzte verbliebene Alien lauert irgendwo im Schiff noch immer auf frische Beute.

Trotz schwerer Verletzungen und eines herben Verlusts ist es der Crew gelungen, die rettende Ebene 4 zu erreichen, auf der die dringend benötigte Brennstoffzelle lagert. Und selbst Sneddon schöpft nun neue Hoffnung: Der Facehugger hat sich von ihrem Gesicht gelöst - und offenbar geht es ihr gut. Der Rückweg zur MARION kann also endlich beginnen. Doch Ripley weiß, dass es nur eine Frage der Zeit ist, bis ein Alien aus ihr herausplatzt.

Der Raumfrachter MARION umkreist den Planeten LV178, aus dessen Minen das wertvolle Element Trimonit gewonnen werden soll. Seit zwei Tagen besteht jedoch keinerlei Funkkontakt zu den Minenarbeitern, und die Crew auf dem Mutterschiff macht sich langsam Sorgen - allen voran Captain Jordan und ihr Chefmechaniker Chris Hooper. Als die Verbindung zu den Kollegen plötzlich wieder steht, ist die Erleichterung zunächst groß.

Der Versuch, die SAMSON von den Aliens zu säubern, ist grausam fehlgeschlagen - und eines der Monster streift nun frei und unkontrolliert durch die MARION. Während die Crew noch rätselt, wie das alles passieren und sich die Schleuse einfach öffnen konnte, steht für Ripley der Grund dafür fest: Es war Ash, der Android! Er muss sich auch Zugang zu den Systemen außerhalb der NARCISSUS verschafft haben. Doch niemand will ihr glauben.
