Summary: Another Alien A/U.

What would have happened if someone found the pods before the podsters hatched? Hehe that's all I'm saying. I know, I'm evil :-)

PROLOGUE

Running.

It's dark and it's cold.

He thinks of nothing else but running.

He doesn't know where to go.

He doesn't know where he is.

He doesn't know where he's been.

A fear of some unknown nightmare rages through his head.

He feels paralyzing terror, but he doesn't remember what has frightened him so.

Like an animal, he keeps to the shadows. Something is after him, but he doesn't know what it is.

All he knows is that he has to keep running.

Run! His mind commands him.

"Dammit where is he?" the tall commanding man screamed. "What the hell is wrong with you people? Do you have *any* idea what you've just let loose?"
