WEYLAND CORPORATIONS’ BEST OPPORTUNITY
TO RESEARCH XENOMORPHS
San Francisco, California
94016
Summary
2
This proposal is about building a research facility on LV-246 (Acheron) in order to take
advantage of the opportunity that has presented itself, the Xenomorphs. The estimated budget of
location settlement and construction is 50 billion. The initial setup involves selecting location on
LV-246 (Acheron) which will then bombarded from orbit to remove any hostile aliens present. A
perimeter will be secured, militarized, and expanded so that construction can begin. The
materials used in the containment and experimental facilities will be screened as to insure
durability against the highly corrosive blood of the Xenomorphs as much so as general strength.
After the main facility is constructed, compounds and off site locations will be scouted and
secured, trails will be made to minimize danger during alien transport. Once all is said and done
then research may begin.

Introduction
In this proposal we push forth the notion that a research facility should be set up to research the
Xenomorphs we have encountered on Acheron. The reason for this proposal is that we want to
be able to incorporate the unique biological mechanisms of these hostile-creatures for the benefit
Weyland Corporation and, more importantly, man-kind. This task though requires a well
4
designed research station to be built that can provide a safe, proficient, and secluded workspace
for the faculty to reside and study in. The end-goal, in brief, is to have a fully functioning, state
of the art, research facility on the surface of LV-246 (Acheron).
Rationale & Significance
Since the first incident that happened at planet LV-246 (Acheron), our mining and expedition
efforts have suffered a major setback. While our ground team is able to fend off the Xenomorphs
that have been encountered so far, it is evident that as Weyland Corporation we must take
necessary steps to ensure the protection of our crew and teams down there. Our scientists are
able to gather some information about the Xenomorphs, but they require a proper, decent
working lab environment to provide us with better insight about these aliens.
Taking all of this consideration, we are proposing the establishment of a research & experiment
facility with significant security measures. By establishing this research & experiment facility,
Weyland Corporation can learn important details about how these Xenomorphs reproduce, how
they evolve and make scientific experiments in each phase of their life cycles. The end result for
these experiments would be to incorporate these Xenomorphs into the assets of Weyland
Corporation as deadly militaristic weapons. We can even work on creating a Human/Xenomorph
hybrid for our future plans. On top of the scientific aspect of establishing this research &
experiment facility, if we implement substantial security measures as well, it can provide us a
significant advantage over the periodic Xenomorph attacks. By building this facility, Weyland
Corporation would establish a secure foothold on this planet for its future expansion plans.

Plan of Work
In order to achieve this goal, first we need to establish a safe zone for the crew that will work
down on the surface of planet LV-246 (Acheron). During this time, the security measures should
be at the highest setting. Acquiring the help of private security groups (or mercenaries if no
security group is willing to provide the safety) should be considered for the first phase of
6
building this facility. Once the secure perimeter is established and outside walls of the facility are
built, the focus should move to establishing laboratories that are suitable for experimentation on
Xenomorph specimens. Considering their extremely acidic blood, laboratory walls, doors and
tools should be made out of metal elements that can withstand the corrosive effect of this blood
type. Finally a secure transport route must be established within the facility for the transportation
of the Xenomorph specimens in and out of laboratories. Security protocols and measures must be
established, including a complete shutdown of the premises with doors sealed off, in case of
emergencies.
● Scope
Due to the time constraints and the necessity of the situation, we will not be building
additional buildings that are usually found in any Weyland Corporation facility. Our main
goal is to establish a research/experimentation facility with proper safety measures. Due
to this reason, we will not construct additional offices, cafeteria and resting/entertainment
areas that are usually found in other Weyland Corporation establishments. The
research/experimentation facility will have its own kitchen that will provide food for the
employees and researchers.
The research that will be carried out in this facility will be towards the militaristic use of
Xenomorphs as controllable weapons in warfare. The research that will be conducted will
include nervous system control, mind control and breeding of the Xenomorphs. As
progression continues, our future plans also include the creation of a Human/Xenomorph
hybrid with limited (and controllable) intelligence. As this is a top secret
research/experimentation facility, the ethical considerations that are usually enforced by
Weyland Corporation will not be implemented during the experimentation phase. The
7
progress and results that are achieved will be shared with the management of Weyland
Corporation (with personnel that has highest security clearance) but will be kept off the
record.
● Methods
Weyland Corporation will be carrying out the research/experiments on the established
facility on the surface of the planet LV-246 (Acheron). The process that will be carried
out for the research includes;
1) Establishing Secure Parameters for Construction
2) Building Laboratories suitable for Experimentation
3) Creating a Secure Transport Route for Transportation of Xenomorphs
4) Procurement of Xenomorph Specimens
5) Xenomorph Growth, Development and Evolution Phase Analysis
6) Control and Manipulation of Xenomorph Subjects
7) Creation of a Human/Xenomorph Hybrid
1. Establishing Secure Parameters
Before construction can begin, the designated area is expected to be bombarded from the
atmosphere. This will ensure the elimination of any Xenomorph presence in the area.
Afterwards security personnel will be deployed and protect the established parameter
until the construction is completed.
2. Building Suitable Labs
Laboratories created inside the experiment/research facility need to be made out of metal
elements that can withstand the corrosive nature of the acidic blood of Xenomorphs.
8
Adamantium metal or Vibranium metal found in Wakanda will be used to create
laboratories that can withstand even the harshest conditions.
3. Creating Secure Transport Routes
Experimental subjects will be brought in and out of the facility via secure transport
routes. All of these routes are pre-determined and they have emergency seal off function
in case anything goes wrong. This way infiltration of an escaped specimen into the
facility is minimized.
4. Procurement
The state Weyland Corporation will acquire the Xenomorphs is never certain. They come
in various stages of their lives. Some of them are found inside an egg, some of them are
in the form of facehugger, chestburster or they can be acquired in fully developed mature
versions. Depending on the acquired form, the planned procedures will show variations.
5. Growth, Development and Evolution Phase Analysis
Certain specimens will be left as the control group. Other obtained Xenomorph
specimens will be given enhanced drugs and medicines to facilitate a faster growth rate.
Differences in both groups will be observed (in terms of organ and nervous system
development).

6. Control and Manipulation
Chips designed specifically for nervous system and brain control will be implemented to
the heads of the Xenomorph specimens. Their reactions and compliance will be
measured. The success rates will be tracked and improvements will be made with future
experiments.
7. Human/Xenomorph Hybrid Creation
The creation of a viable Human/Xenomorph Hybrid will be the ultimate goal of this
experiment/research facility. Human and Xenomorph genomes from various specimens
will be investigated. The specimens with the most compatible genomes will be chosen.

Problem Analysis
The main issues with Weyland Corporation are how the aliens are stored, the lack of space to
conduct more experimentation and the inability to expand in the current environment. With the
growth in finding and capturing Xenomorphs, our current research center will not be able to
contain more Xenomorphs at this rapid rate. The ability to expand will allow for more space to
11
store various types of Xenomorphs, along with understanding the different behaviors when
placed under varying environments. The lab would likely be placed on LV-246 (Acheron). The
location can pose a threat as it is in a territory that is outside of Earth. The lab should have a high
defense system with security cameras and armed forces to ensure there are no unauthorized
breaches. There must be a meeting with all hired ufologists, space scientists, and expedition
crew planning to work on LV-246 as they will be the common users of the research lab. The
meeting will cover new protocols in the lab such as how how to properly store Xenomorphs in
the remodeled Weyland Modular Computing Device. This lab should be capable of securing
Xenomorphs and ensure that we can expand on further behavioral research by placing the
Xenomorphs in a simulated natural territory.

needed as a precautionary measure in case any of the test-subjects or employees
go awol.
Budget
The current budget set for the Weyland’s Research Lab is approximately 50 billion. The lab will
accommodate for the following quarters:
1) Housing - Housing will contain atmospheric pressurizers to ensure stabilizing of gravity
for all employees.
2) Kitchen - Contains enough food for all workers to last 12 months, with shipments coming
every 11 months.
3) Laboratory - Contain top of the line equipment, with high security measures in case of
any Xenomorph breaches.
14
4) Health Center - Contains MEDICs and Anti-gravity Recovery center to ensure the rapid
recovery rate for any injuries.
The quarters will cover approximately 35 billion as they will be used by all employees are in a
calm atmospheric environment with all the materials needed to conduct research on
Xenomorphs. However, much of the budget is spent on sending workers and materials to build
the facility on LV-246 which is approximately 2 billion per trip. There will be an estimated 5
trips to be made to finish
the
research/experiment facility.
Conclusion
15
To conclude, we are proposing the construction of a research facility on LV-246 (Acheron). The
potential profit is limitless since we would have a monopoly over the plethora of information and
products produced/gathered from the Xenomorphs. This opportunity though needs a dedicated
facility, which currently has an estimated cost of construction of 50 billion. We have access to
invaluable personnel who will share their expertise with the management team to aid in the
development and success of this project. There is no better time to act than the present, which is
why we should get to work ASAP.
