The
tube
was
not
moving
,
merely
sitting
there
.
More
than
anything
else
,
this
part
of
the
internal
view
made
Dallas
feel
sick
.
’
It
’
s
got
something
down
his
goddamn
throat
.
’
His
hands
clenched
,
unclenched
with
murderous
regularity
.
’
What
the
hell
kind
of
thing
is
that
to
do
to
a
person
?
It
’
s
not
a
fair
way
to
fight
.
Damn
it
,
Ash
,
it
’
s
not
.
.
clean
!
’
’
We
don
’
t
know
that
it
’
s
fighting
with
him
,
or
even
harming
him
.
’
Ash
confessed
to
being
confused
by
the
whole
situation
.
’
According
to
the
medical
monitors
,
he
’
s
fine
.
Merely
unable
to
react
to
us
.
I
know
this
sounds
silly
right
now
,
but
think
a
minute
.
Maybe
the
creature
’
s
a
benign
symbiote
of
some
kind
.
Perhaps
,
in
its
own
particular
,
confused
way
,
it
’
s
done
this
to
try
to
help
him
.
’
Dallas
laughed
humorlessly
.
’
It
’
s
fond
of
him
,
all
right
.
It
won
’
t
let
go
.
’
’
That
tube
or
whatever
must
be
how
it
’
s
supplying
oxygen
to
him
.
’
The
science
officer
adjusted
a
control
,
switched
to
a
tighter
view
and
finer
resolution
.
The
screen
showed
Kane
’
s
lungs
working
steadily
,
at
a
normal
pace
,
and
seemingly
without
effort
despite
the
obstruction
in
his
throat
.
Ash
switched
back
to
the
first
view
.
’
What
oxygen
?
’
Dallas
wanted
to
know
.
’
He
came
all
the
way
back
to
the
ship
with
a
busted
faceplate
.
The
creature
’
s
not
attached
to
his
suit
tanks
so
all
his
suit
air
must
have
bled
out
through
the
open
regulator
in
the
first
couple
of
minutes
.
’
Ash
looked
thoughtful
.
’
I
can
imagine
some
possibilities
.
There
’
s
a
little
free
oxygen
in
the
atmosphere
here
.
Not
much
,
but
some
.
And
a
lot
more
tied
up
with
the
nitrogen
in
various
oxides
.
I
suspect
the
creature
possesses
the
ability
to
break
down
those
oxides
and
extract
the
oxygen
.
Certainly
it
has
the
capability
to
pass
it
on
to
Kane
,
perhaps
also
for
itself
.
A
good
symbiote
would
be
able
to
determine
quickly
what
requirements
its
partner
would
have
.
Certain
plants
have
the
same
oxygen
-
extracting
ability
;
others
prefer
different
gases
.
It
’
s
not
an
impossibility
.
’
He
turned
back
to
the
screens
.
’
Perhaps
it
’
s
our
terrestrial
prejudices
at
work
and
it
’
s
really
a
plant
and
not
an
animal
.
Or
maybe
it
possesses
characteristics
and
abilities
common
to
both
.
