The Melville arrives at the Sungun station. Unable to raise anyone on the hailing frequencies, the Melville sends a landing party over to the Sungun Station to investigate. Finding no one home, Vormitag splits the landing party into two groups to search. The group led by Medina stumbles upon a hive of Xenomorphs and are killed or, in light of the fate of Vinson, captured. Meanwhile, on board the Melville, the Marines are having a bit of a morale problem. Vormitags' half of the team eventually runs afoul of another group of Xenomorphs and are presumed killed or captured also. The Marines finally settle their differences and suit up. While exploring the station, a dead Xenomorph drips acid blood onto Cverko, burning through his pressure suit and burning his arm. Henry and Marylands suits are also damaged in the rain of acid. The squad splits into three groups. Group 1, with good pressure suits, is to EVA back to the Melville to fetch extra suits for an evac. Group 2 is going to search the station for good suits and, group 3, Vasquez and the injured Cverko, hole up. Group 1 finds Station hand Dinkle hiding in a cabinet. Group 2 finds destroyed pressure suits near an air lock. Meanwhile, Vasquez and Cverko find themselves surrounded by Xenomorphs.
