Space Jockey race, or Mala'kak, dating back to the Nostromo incident; in fact, it had been Loki who
had given Weyland-Yutani the information which caused the incident in the first place. It was on
Byzantium Station that Call finally caught up with Loki and found out that it had targeted a space
station called Domes Epsilon for Xenomorph infestation. Ripley 8 wasted no time and retreated
Byzantium Station together with her comrades and set course to Domes Epsilon in order to foil
Loki's plans. However, Ripley 8 had attracted the attention of a reporter called Simoni, who finally
found her on Byzantium Station and boarded the Betty as a stowaway. After he had been discovered,
Ripley was about to have him thrown out of the airlock when she learned about his profession. As
the daughter of the original Ripley had also been a reporter, Ripley 8, curious to learn more about
the memories genetically imprinted on her, decided to keep him alive and in turn revealed some of
the information she had about Loki and its role in the Nostromo incident.
Only slightly delayed by a Loki strike force, the Betty soon arrived at Domes Epsilon. As soon as
the ship got within communications range, Ripley 8 contacted the station, warning Philipakos, the
administrator of Domes Epsilon, about the imminent threat and demanded access. As one of the
staff members had already had a fatal encounter with a Xenomorph Egg, he reluctantly agreed, but
was foiled by sabotage aboard the station. Ripley 8 now had no other option but to force her entry in
order to stop the Xenomorph. She and Call, Johner and Krakke boarded the station and were soon
greeted by Philipakos, who led them into the control center. With some effort, Ripley 8 convinced
the staff to evacuate and departed with Johner to check the backup bay as the main bay was no
longer accessible. After securing the backup bay, Ripley encountered the adult Xenomorph and
killed it together with Johner. However, after returning to the command center, Ripley 8 learned that
no less than a dozen creatures were discovered aboard Domes Epsilon. Ripley 8 made a break for
the backup bay together with the other survivors, only to be ambushed by Xenomorph Warriors.
The group scattered through the jungle, and many fell victim to the creatures. Aware that the backup
bay had been sabotaged and knowing that her plan for a controlled retreat had failed, Ripley 8 set
off for the Betty, picking up Angie, Philipakos' daughter, on the way. Later on the way, she discovered
a scared and confused Simoni, who confessed to her that a crew member of hers, Rama,
had been killed because of his sneaking into the station. This revelation was met with anger and disappointment
by Ripley, merely tolerating his presence on her trip back to the ship. Soon after, however,
Ripley was caught by surprise by an attacking Xenomorph, only to be saved by Simoni, who
sacrificed himself in the process. Eventually Ripley 8 managed to safely return to the Betty with
Johner, Krakke, Call and the two only survivors from the station's staff, Angie and a dog called Rex.
Soon after, Ripley interrogated Cody, a surviving colonist who had been revealed to be an android
sent and programmed by Loki to aid in the infestation of Domes Epsilon. It was then that she
learned of the full extent of Loki's dealings and the endgame of the Mala'kak. After leaving behind
and destroying the station and accepting Angie as a new crew member, Ripley 8 was filled with a
new resolve to stop Loki from unleashing the Xenomorph on the galaxy. (A:RES, A:OS)
