When the USS Sulaco returns to Earth after destroying the Hadley's Hope terraforming colony on Acheron (LV-426); Ripley, Hicks and Newt ensure the Weyland-Yutani corporation rebuilds Bishop to perfect working order before nailing any surviving actors in Carter Burke's machinations to the wall before retiring to Brazil. Once back in working order, Bishop mentors a new young synthetic named Call to take over for him. But disaster occurs when a queen Xenomorph egg hatches back aboard the Sulaco and begins to cause terror down on Earth. As Earth's forces contend with the nightmares Ripley had experienced, Bishop and Call must plot a crazy plan to lure the Xenomorphs onto a spaceship to then crash into the Sun and destroy the threat once and for all. The two synthetics' only hope is the soon-to-be-decommissioned starliner Polyphemus they must lure the aliens onto before they set the suicide course and try to prevent the infestation from being able to leave the crashing ship.
