Only
the
constant
thermonuclear
hiss
of
the
local
sun
sounded
plaintively
over
the
multitude
of
speakers
.
.
Up
next
to
the
hull
,
the
colossal
scale
of
the
alien
vessel
was
more
evident
than
ever
.
It
curved
above
them
,
rising
into
the
dust
-
heavy
air
and
looking
more
solid
than
the
broken
rock
it
rested
upon
.
’
Still
no
sign
of
life
,
’
Dallas
murmured
half
to
himself
as
he
surveyed
the
hull
.
’
No
lights
,
no
movement
.
’
He
gestured
toward
the
imagined
bow
of
the
ship
.
’
And
no
way
in
.
Let
’
s
try
up
that
way
.
’
As
they
strode
carefully
over
shattered
boulders
and
loose
,
shaly
rock
,
Dallas
was
aware
how
small
the
alien
ship
made
him
feel
.
Not
small
physically
,
though
the
bulging
,
overbearing
arc
of
the
hull
dwarfed
the
three
humans
,
but
insignificantly
tiny
on
the
cosmic
scale
.
Humanity
still
knew
very
little
of
the
universe
,
had
explored
a
fraction
of
one
corner
.
It
was
exciting
and
intellectually
gratifying
to
speculate
on
what
might
lie
waiting
in
the
black
gulfs
when
one
was
behind
the
business
end
of
a
telescope
,
quite
another
to
do
so
isolated
on
an
unpleasant
little
speck
of
a
world
such
as
this
,
confronted
by
a
ship
of
nonhuman
manufacture
that
uncomfortably
resembled
a
growth
instead
of
a
familiar
device
for
manipulating
and
overcoming
the
neat
laws
of
physics
.
That
,
he
admitted
to
himself
,
was
what
troubled
him
most
about
the
derelict
.
Had
it
conformed
to
the
familiar
in
its
outlines
and
composition
,
then
its
nonhuman
origin
would
not
have
seemed
so
threatening
.
He
did
not
put
his
feelings
down
to
simple
xenophobia
.
Basically
,
he
hadn
’
t
expected
the
alien
to
be
so
completely
alien
.
’
Something
’
s
coming
up
.
’
He
saw
that
Kane
was
pointing
to
the
hull
ahead
of
them
.
Time
to
set
aside
idle
speculation
,
he
told
himself
firmly
,
and
treat
with
reality
.
This
odd
horn
-
shape
was
a
spacecraft
,
differing
only
in
superficial
ways
from
the
Nostromo
.
There
was
nothing
malignant
about
the
material
it
was
formed
of
or
ominous
about
its
design
.
One
was
the
result
of
a
different
technology
,
the
latter
possibly
of
aesthetic
ideals
as
much
as
anything
else
.
When
viewed
in
that
manner
,
the
ship
assumed
a
kind
of
exotic
beauty
.
No
doubt
Ash
was
already
raving
over
the
vessel
’
s
unique
design
,
wishing
he
were
here
among
them
.
Dallas
noticed
Lambert
’
s
unvaried
expression
and
knew
there
was
at
least
one
member
of
the
crew
who
’
d
trade
places
with
the
science
officer
without
hesitation
.
Kane
had
indicated
a
trio
of
dark
blotches
on
the
hull
’
s
flank
.
As
they
climbed
nearer
and
slightly
higher
in
the
rocks
,
the
blotches
turned
into
oval
openings
,
showed
depth
in
addition
to
height
and
width
.
