4393957 Yes. That my friend is true. :twilightsmile:

TIME TO READ.

*Readies Smartgun*

4632384 Oh, I bet you'll enjoy it. :pinkiecrazy:

4632432 Why thank you. Again, my bad on the grammar errors and punctuation marks. I only had the editor when the third chapter came around. :twilightblush:

4632451 Woops, again, my bad. :twilightblush:

4632479 Of course, I hope you enjoyed it. :twilightsmile:

4632562 Yeah, woops. Fixed it. :twilightblush:

The ship picked up another signal and a picture soon appeared on the monitor. A ship had crashed somewhere. It picked up the ship’s trail and followed it to a distant planet. When the mysterious vessel approached the unknown planet, the monitors scanned the wreckage of the downed spacecraft. On the bridge, a hologram projector displayed an image. Four beings surrounded the hologram as they looked at the data presented. It was unmistakable; the serpents had made it to this new world they had discovered. The hunt was on.

YES.

4632674 So, all in all. What did you think?

4632675

You did a damn good job. The storytelling was masterful the descriptions are great, Malkovich acted like any company-obsessed Weyland-Yutani official would, you kept great suspense... And that fucking ending. Yes. Yes. And yes.

Even so, there is one critical flaw: Grammar. There are missing apostrophes, apostrophes where there shouldn't be apostrophes, incorrect punctuation, etc, etc.

Even so, the grammar errors were, for once, actually overcome by the power your story had. This is the first time I've ever said anything like that for a story that has so many errors.

Overall, fantastic. Just get a proofreader and it'll go from a cocooned Praetorian to a Queen. Basically, it will be a masterpiece.

4632708 Cool, I'll make sure to do that. :twilightsmile:

4633693 Thanks for the comment. I wouldn't boast and say its that good. :twilightblush:

Oooooooh an Alien fic? How interesting. I love Alien so I will read this. Soon. Faving before reading because I can tell this is gonna be good!

4727720 And thank you for reading this story. :pinkiehappy: I hope you enjoy the future chapters! :twilightsmile:

4729984 Of course they do, except this is basically the first time they've ever met an Xenomorph. :twilightsmile: Which in turn, having know idea what this thing is, they're reaction to it killing the guard ponies would be met with fear. :fluttershbad: Hope that helps clarify a few things. :pinkiehappy:

Just finish it, very good storie, and everi time the Aliens are invole one thing is certain, death is coming

4813377 Hahahahaha! Funny thing was I did intend to kill them earlier on in my planning process, but my editor told me otherwise. :rainbowlaugh: That, and I'm glad I went that direction. :twilightsmile: But, that doesn't mean everypony else is safe... :pinkiecrazy:

Well, here I am, having completed the entire story.

Bravo, good sir. Bravo. This truly was an epic story, with emotions laced into every bit of it. Fear, hope, triumph, and finally dread...all came together in this wonderful work of yours.

Alright, enough professionalism.

HOLY CRAP MAN! ALL THAT WORK AND THERE'S STILL THAT DAMN EMBRYO LEFT?! COME ONE!

Of course, I am happy that the sequel has my all-time favorite alien of all, the Predator. I can't wait to see how that goes!

4820130 For the poor Diamond Tiara, I would have to say that it was a bad day to have a pink colored coat. The doctor just got in the way of Kettlepot's search for Berry so there's that.

And I am happy to hear that you enjoyed the story. And as to the Predator of next story... don't worry. We'll be making sure that the Predator, is truly what it is from the original movies. Including the portrayal of his appearance in Predator. And of course, I do hope you enjoy the sequel. Oh and this will be the first time for me to say this on comments... but I hope you have... sweet dreams... :pinkiecrazy:

It has begun!!!

4952005 Hahahaha! Hope you enjoy the sequel. :twilightsmile:

5104376 Nopony truly cares about Kettle... but I hope you enjoyed this story. :pinkiecrazy:

5107336 lel I forgot to favs and up vote, did that now :3

Finally finished! I can now read the sequel!

5132257 Woo... hope you enjoy it... :pinkiecrazy:

Greatest. Xeno. Story. EVER!

God Damn it was beautiful, and they had to kill her! Damn you ponies! (Just finished the second read through, still a Damn good story)

5151980 :rainbowlaugh: It was a pretty good story. Don't worry, were almost done with the second story. Then our third story will begin. :twilightsmile:

5153559 third? I do suspect a return of our beloved Xenomorphs... YAY!

5153658 Yep... the Xenomorphs shall return... with a few extra... well how shall I say this... modifications? :pinkiecrazy:

I do hope they have new varients added to the mix, like boilers and crushers. Hell I'd giggle my happy ass off if we had a specimen 6 moment

5153696 Oh... you'll see what me and Diablo have come up with... :trollestia: It will be... quite fun! :pinkiecrazy:

I am certainly hoping for a miraculous third installment

This just got added to the Past Sins group. Is that right?

5346476 Is Nyx in this story or something?

5346578 Yeah, I know what you mean now.

5346643

So does Nyx play a prominent role in this story? Also, is she an adult or still a filly here? I'm actually in search of stories where Nyx is an adult, so I'm curious about that.

Regarding the story itself, I'm a long standing fan of the Aliens and AvP books (from the 90's before the movies made a mockery of it). So bravo for such an interesting premise.

I'm curious though, if you're open to running this story by a proofreader. It appears like it has not actually been proofread, because there are so many obvious grammar errors. The dialog also seems very brisk and doesn't flow naturally. At least the parts I've seen so far. Fixing the grammar errors would go a long way to making the story more readable, because currently the reader must pause and consider what you're really saying as opposed to what is written, and that type of thing always throws a reader off.

Anyway, good job on the premise. We'll see how the execution goes.

5347176 Well, I'll answer your questions one by one.

So does Nyx play a prominent role in this story?

Nyx does not fully play a prominent role in this story till the near end. In actuality, she inadvertently plays a special role when she gets captured. Shining Armor was the only pony that was trying to find the Queen's soon to be nest. So when she was taken it was the alarm bells that made the others look not only for the nest, but Nyx herself as well. (On a side note, Twilight trying to find Nyx is what I would reference as the moment in Aliens, where Ripley is trying to save Newt.)

Also, is she an adult or still a filly here?

In this story, Nyx is not a mare. She is still a filly.

I'm curious though, if you're open to running this story by a proofreader.

As for having this story read through by a proofreader, I shall find somepony that has the time to do so. If you know anypony, that would be a big help. I would ask my proofreader that worked on The True Nightmare's sequel, The Hunt, but he has shown no signs of interest.

Hopefully I have answered most of your questions. :twilightsmile:

It's well worth the reed and...I love gore:scootangel:

5582703 Yeah... this was when I didn't understand how to write. I will touch up on these later on, but right now I am currently working on the third story. It is good... just not when I first started off with this. Sorry about that, the other stories are much better though. (And I do not mean War of the Worlds or The Forgotten Memory. This was only when I didn't understand how to write it at all. :facehoof:

5588065 Well worth... I would say. Not a good story, because I was stupid back during this time. Now that I know more, I'll go back over it.
