Having tracked the captured Lt. Ripley to the treetop Hive built by the Gorilla Aliens, Sgt. Drake rescues here from the clutches of one of the creatures by shooting out the branch from beneath it with his Smartgun. Now reunited, the entire team opens up on the Hive, destroying it. However, when they are attacked by a Queen they find themselves too low on ammo to defeat her. Fortunately, Bishop arrives in the rescue ship, scoops the Queen up in a containment cell, and dumps her into an active volcano. The Marines, satisfied their job is complete, head back to Earth for some R&R, not noticing a single undamaged Egg they leave behind, which is then found by another of the planet's native gorilla life-forms.
