one other survivor managed to escape the planet aboard a short-range flyer and take over the<br />

Weyland-Yutani research station on the nearby moon. Reportedly, Braley was later killed during the<br />

incident, but rumors persist that the deceased individual was actually a synth. (A:NE)<br />

Brett, S. E.: A male human serving as an Engineer Tech for the crew of the cargo hauler Nostromo<br />

from 2120 to 2122. Born on July 13, 2069 in Houston, Texas. Had the ID number 724/R4-06J. Was<br />

involved in the Nostromo incident.<br />

Brett launched his working career by starting to work as a mechanic at E-Z-Fly Spacecraft Repair, a<br />

family business based in Houston, on June 21, 2085. After nine years, Brett left E-Z-Fly and accepted<br />

an assignment as a hardware specialist at Solari Energy Corp in Osaka, Japan on May 15, 2094<br />

– an employment which was terminated for undisclosed reasons on December 21, 2095. He then<br />

started working for Ridton Corp on February 1, 2096 until he was suspended on July 16 for flying<br />

high-speed cargo ships through the Iranistan war zone. <strong>The</strong> following investigation uncovered that<br />

Brett was an alcoholic. He was being treated in-house for this problem and successfully completed<br />

the program on December 4. Subsequently, Ridton Corporation assigned Brett to the deep sea ship<br />

Ozymandias in the capacity of Assistant Engineer. At an unknown date, Brett returned to his home<br />

town and enlisted at the Houston School of Astrophysics and Interstellar Engineering from which he<br />

graduated on May 21, 2108. Brett entered Weyland-Yutani employment as Assistant Engineer<br />

aboard the waste disposal vessel Corazon Oscuro on July 14. During this time, Brett relapsed into<br />

alcoholism. On November 10, 2111, he failed a blood alcohol test and was committed to a Weyland-<br />

Yutani medical facility on Titan. During a cerebral detox procedure taking place on January 9, 2112,<br />

Brett suffered minor brain damage. A lengthy period of recovery followed until his flight status<br />

would be restored on April 3, 2113. Brett stayed on Titan and began working as an Assistant Engineering<br />

Tech at a Weyland-Yutani fusion reactor facility on April 19. His time on Titan ended after<br />

four years with the assignment to the cargo vessel Nonnabo as Engineering Tech on November 3,<br />

2117, where he would meet and make friends with Parker, who was working aboard the same ship.<br />

On September 10, 2120, Brett joined the crew of the Nostromo together with Brett when it was en<br />

route to <strong>The</strong>dus. Brett was still on the crew roster when the Nostromo incident took place in 2122.<br />

When the Nostromo took minor damage during the landing on LV-426, Brett was responsible for<br />

restoring the ship together with Parker. Brett would eventually become the first victim of the fullgrown<br />

Xenomorph when he was chasing Jones, the Nostromo's pet cat, inside the landing strut<br />

chambers. (A1)<br />

Broca Dialectical Implant: A surgical implant that enables the carrier to speak other languages<br />

without having to learn it. Named after Broca's area, a region of the human brain linked to speech<br />

capacity. This revolutionary technology was developed by Weyland Industries and introduced on<br />

August 9, 2060. (PR:WIW)<br />

this world. (A:OS)<br />

Bull <strong>Alien</strong>: A Xenomorph sub-species bred from a bull-like creature that has infested the Earth<br />

colony TerraForm 3. <strong>The</strong> hive of this breed had spread to a considerable size of 81 workers led by<br />

it used to ram into its victims and was able to run at a speed of up to 49 miles per hour. However,<br />

this breed had a low tolerance against heat and fire of a maximum of 327 degrees Fahrenheit.<br />

Bultmann: A male human and part of the replacement staff used by Weyland-Yutani to root out a<br />

spy at a research facility on C-3 L/M in the early thirties of the 23 rd century. Bultmann was later<br />

killed together with the rest of the replacement staff and the spy as part of a faked <strong>Alien</strong> infestation<br />

at the station that was staged by the Company to take over its rival Planetus in 2232. <strong>The</strong>se events
