at the pitt, no one can hear you scream. or something.

The USCSS Persephone, registration number 146810, heralded as a vessel to bring humanity into a new chapter in history, is about to begin her decade long mission to Origae-6. A magnifiscent ship with a noble cause that united the Weyland-Yutani and Prodigy corporations: to determine if the conditions on Origae-6 fit probable projections, if humanity can find a new home in Paradise.

As Dr. Dennis Whitaker stands in the ship's oppressive shadow, he struggles to subdue his anxiety. If you had told him a couple years ago that his work would take him a decade of travel away from Earth on an expedition to a planet which no person has ever walked on before, he… Well, he would have at least assumed that it wasn't his own decision. Even the Whitaker of today can't really believe that it actually was.

A voice snaps him out of spiralling about all of the choices he'd made in his life that led him to this point:

— Hey, we're taking off soon. Time to get up there, kid, can't have my expedition leaving a doctor short.

A hand lands on Whitaker's back and he turns to look at the source of the voice.

— Michael Robinavitch, Weyland-Yutani, Special Projects Director. Just call me Robby. — The man smiles warmly. — Dr. Whitaker, right? Ready to find humanity a new home?

soooo. me and my husband went kind of insane one night. and this au is the result. when partners' hyperfixations collide, i guess

this might become a fanfic? someday?? but for now we'll just make this tumblr's problem by posting doodles and concepts and stuff.

also, a needed warning: this is super frivolous with the alien franchise lore, we just wanted to put the pittlings on a spaceship and make em suffer, so like.... don't eat us alive for any inconsistencies.
