Ripley curls upward and takes a moment to adjust to her surroundings.

It seems like no time has passed since her fight with the Queen. One minute she is drifting off to sleep, near Newt, Bishop, and Hicks; the next minute she is awake again and those three are no-where to be found.

O'Neill sits on the side of the cryo-pod.

"Do you hear me? Do you know where you are?"

Ripley is somewhat dazed from hypersleep. "USS Sulaco...What's going on? Have we reached Gateway Station?" she asks.

"Lt. Ellen Ripley?"

"Yes, that's me. Who are you?"

"I'm Brandon O'Neill; I represent the Company. We'd like to have you examined before you get to Earth, make sure everything's okay."

Ripley's eyes widen. She stands bolt upright and faces O'Neill.

"Bullshit. This is not a corporate operation; the Sulaco is a military vessel," she gestures around the starship containing them.

O'Neill tries to adopt a reassuring manner to put her at ease, but Ripley quickly becomes more agitated. She looks around and asks "Where are the others?"

Then she turns back to O'Neill. "Where is this ship?"
