For
the
rods
and
the
net
?
’
’
Sure
.
Nothing
fancy
involved
.
’
Lambert
couldn
’
t
stand
it
.
’
First
butterflies
,
now
cattle
prods
.
Why
do
we
listen
to
this
meathead
?
’
Dallas
turned
the
idea
over
in
his
head
,
visualizing
it
from
the
optimum
.
The
alien
cornered
,
threatening
with
teeth
and
claws
.
Electric
jolts
from
one
side
,
strong
enough
to
irritate
but
not
injure
.
Two
of
them
driving
it
into
the
net
,
then
keeping
it
occupied
while
the
rest
of
them
dragged
it
toward
the
main
lock
.
Maybe
the
alien
burning
its
way
through
the
net
,
maybe
not
.
Second
and
third
nets
standing
by
in
case
it
did
.
Tossing
the
sacked
monster
into
the
lock
,
sealing
the
hatch
,
and
blowing
the
emergency
.
Good
-
bye
,
alien
,
off
to
Arcturus
.
Goodbye
,
nightmare
.
Hello
,
Earth
and
sanity
.
He
recalled
Lambert
’
s
last
disparaging
comment
,
said
to
no
one
in
particular
.
’
We
listen
to
him
because
this
time
he
just
might
be
right
.

The
Nostromo
,
oblivious
to
the
frantic
activity
of
some
of
its
passengers
,
equally
indifferent
to
the
resigned
waiting
of
its
others
,
continued
racing
toward
Earth
at
a
multiple
of
the
speed
of
light
.
Brett
had
requested
several
hours
to
complete
the
net
and
shock
tubes
,
but
he
and
Parker
worked
as
if
they
had
only
minutes
.
Parker
found
himself
wishing
the
work
at
hand
was
actually
more
complex
.
It
might
have
kept
him
from
having
so
much
time
to
glance
nervously
at
ledges
,
cabinets
,
and
dark
corridors
.
Meanwhile
,
the
rest
of
the
crew
could
only
focus
their
attention
elsewhere
and
wait
for
the
completion
of
their
hunting
gear
.
In
several
minds
,
the
initial
thought
of
’
Where
has
the
alien
gone
?
’
was
beginning
to
be
replaced
by
ticking
little
thoughts
like
’
What
is
the
alien
doing
?
’
Only
one
member
of
the
crew
was
otherwise
mentally
occupied
,
He
’
d
held
onto
the
thought
for
some
time
now
,
until
it
had
swollen
to
the
bursting
point
.
Now
he
had
two
choices
.
He
could
discuss
it
with
the
entire
crew
,
or
discuss
it
alone
with
its
cause
.
If
he
chose
to
do
the
first
and
found
himself
proven
wrong
,
as
he
desperately
wished
to
be
,
he
might
do
irreparable
damage
to
crew
morale
.
Not
to
mention
exposing
himself
to
an
eventual
crew
-
member
-
captain
lawsuit
.
