    Bishop, Ripley, Hicks, Newt and Jones all survived Hadley’s Hope, but were intercepted by the company before they could prep the ship for travel back to Earth. It gets Bishop repaired, with much bargaining, but does little good elsewhere and threatens their group. After busting Bishop out and escaping on a decomm’d ship, things have settled, and Ripley has taken some time to reflect on recent events.

    She decides to share some of those thoughts with Bishop.

    inspired in part by there’s a light that never goes out by the smiths.
