it's better to walk softly when you're on the run; have at him

[Ripley]

here comes a candle to light you to bed here comes a chopper to chop off your head It’s just the one today – smaller than her mother, but just as deadly, just as frightening. The elder monster is still in Pangea, but the younger has ventured out. What are borders to such creatures? Anaxarete had commanded that they not eat or harm anyone that was loyal to her. But she said nothing of the rest of the world. So the monster slinks northward. The cold is irritating, it much prefers warmer weather, but the challenge is interesting so it slinks into the water, a deadly serpent aiming for the ice-strewn shores ahead. In a world of such vivid white, there is no chance for cover. No chance to blend in. Stealth is all well and good, but this creature does not require it to hunt. Shadow-black eyes immediately spot the fire-blaze of the creature, standing out so perfectly against the show, and as the monster emerges from the icy waters – that is where it goes. Since stealth is not on its side, pure power is what it will use. Its approach begins slowly, and gradually the pace begins to pick up – wicked knife tail flashing behind it and silver gleaming teeth showing with a snarl as it charges with all of its might towards that unlucky beacon of fire. ripley & nostromo XXVIII-----
