Started to watch the new TV Series ‘Alien: Earth’ ; I am so pumped over this new Alien franchise, my creative mind is flowing with new storylines. My latest is called,” The Shell Game : A Weyland-Yutani Deal”.
I hope you enjoy this latest creation. Your support, likes, and shares mean everything to me.
A faint hum from the life support system was the only sound in the sterile conference room. The walls, a sleek, polished obsidian, reflected the grim faces of the Weyland-Yutani executives seated around the elliptical table. Opposite them sat the CEO of ELON, a man with a cold, analytical gaze.
2143: The financial fallout from the “Romulus incident” has put Weyland-Yutani in a precarious position. The company’s bio-weaponization program is a drain on resources and a public relations nightmare. In a desperate move to mitigate risk and liability, they initiate a new strategic partnership.
“Colleagues,” the Weyland-Yutani Chairperson began, her voice low and devoid of warmth. “The Romulus incident was a financial disaster. Billions, gone. The bio-weaponization program is proving to be a black hole of resources, and the public’s perception of us is… fragile. We can’t afford another catastrophic loss, or worse, a leak to the public.”
“Which is why we’re here,” the ELON CEO said, his tone just as clipped. “Your Xenomorph project is a liability, not an asset, on your balance sheets. You’ve invested a fortune with no payoff, and the risks have escalated beyond what you can contain internally.”
“Precisely,” the Chairperson conceded. “That may be true, but we have an offer hard to resist. “
ELON CEO is intrigued, “ Carry on.”
The Chairperson continues,” ELON will now be responsible for the ‘Romulus Research Initiative.’ You will take over all logistics, containment, and, most importantly, the financial burden of all future incidents. Any ‘accidents’ or ‘unforeseen variables’ will be your cross to bear. In return, we will provide you with the necessary infrastructure, and in the event of a breakthrough, a 60-40 split on all military contracts. You get the risk; you get the lion’s share of the reward.”
A flicker of a smile played on the ELON CEO’s lips. “A clever gambit. You leverage our expertise in containment and our shell-company structure to insulate yourselves from liability, while still controlling the primary asset. Our public-facing work with ‘Extragalactic Navigation’ will serve as the perfect cover. We’ll be the heroes who ‘secure’ your facilities from ‘anomalies,’ all while we work tirelessly to perfect the very weapon you couldn’t control.”
The Chairperson nodded slowly. “We’re not washing our hands of it. We’re simply giving it a very careful, and very public, scrub. From now on, any hostile contact, any lost colony ship, any… ‘leak’ of the perfect organism… it will be your problem. And the public will be told you are a subcontractor, here to help.”
“Agreed,” the ELON CEO said, standing and extending his hand. “Let us begin building better worlds… for our shareholders.”
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Weyland-Yutani Corporation Announces Strategic Partnership with ELON: Forging a New Era of Extraterrestrial Navigation and Research
TOKYO – In a move set to redefine the future of off-world exploration and resource management, the Weyland-Yutani Corporation today announced a new strategic partnership with Extragalactic Luminosity Ordnance Navigation, or ELON. This collaboration is designed to leverage ELON’s groundbreaking propulsion and navigational technologies to enhance the efficiency and safety of deep-space ventures.
“The cosmos is vast and full of both wonder and unpredictable challenges,” said a Weyland-Yutani spokesperson. “By integrating ELON’s advanced systems, we can make our off-world colonization, mining, and scientific research operations more secure and productive than ever before. This partnership reflects our unwavering commitment to pioneering a safer, more prosperous future for humanity among the stars.”
ELON is recognized for its innovative use of light-based propulsion and sophisticated mapping systems, which are expected to significantly reduce travel times and navigational hazards. The initial phase of the partnership will focus on bolstering the security and integrity of critical research facilities and supply lines across established territories, including the recently commissioned * Romulus Space Station.*
The public can rest assured that this collaboration is a testament to Weyland-Yutani’s dedication to its personnel and assets. This partnership will provide a robust framework for managing the unforeseen variables of space, ensuring our crews and facilities are protected and our mission to build better worlds remains on track.
“Thank you for coming. Any questions?,” said Weyland Spokesman.
The air in the room thrummed with a torrent of inquiries, a cascade of data-packets streaming in from holographic monitors across the Outer Rim colonies and live feeds from the on-site press drones. The cybernetic named Shepard assumed control of the central broadcast with a silent, seamless command.

Behind Closed Doors
The conference room doors slid shut with a silent hiss. The Chairperson of Weyland-Yutani walked over to the floor-to-ceiling window, staring out at the cityscape far below. The lights of Tokyo shimmered like a digital tapestry. She held a small, crystalline tumbler in her hand, swirling the amber liquid within.
“They’re fools,” a voice said from the shadows behind her. The unknown associate stepped into the light, a silhouette against the cityscape. “They think they’ve negotiated a victory. A lion’s share, indeed.”
“They’ve agreed to be the public-facing shield, nothing more,” the Chairperson said, her back still to her associate. “Their ‘containment expertise’ is nothing more than a well-funded suicide mission. We give them enough rope to hang themselves, and a public-relations narrative to make it look like they did it on their own. Our hands remain clean. The stock price will recover, and our investors will be satiated.”
“And the asset?” the associate asked.
The Chairperson finally turned, a slow, predatory smile on her face. “The asset is a perfect organism. It adapts, it learns, it overcomes. They will not contain it. They will become its new host. And every time it breaches, every time they fail, we will be there to ‘assist,’ to ‘advise,’ to ‘study.’ We’re not just selling a weapon; we’re selling the perpetual need for our services. And when they finally perfect a viable strain, the 60-40 split will be irrelevant. We’ll simply find a way to make it ours. All of it. After all, it’s our DNA, isn’t it? The true ‘perfect organism’ isn’t the xenomorph, but the corporation that can profit from its chaos.”
She raised her tumbler in a silent toast to the city. “Let them build better worlds. We’ll be the ones who own them.”
