Alien: Isolation Guide Novels & Stories

I recoil from the sight, my eyes narrowing as I will myself to continue looking, and suddenly the planet implodes, scattering the dark matter over the Milky Way. The sound of silence sweeps through the Arena. The beautiful stillness of emptiness. The planet imploding was over within seconds. “Something's not right,” Miya murmurs as she opens her eyes and raises her head to the sky. I look up, squinting as I try to see what she sees. “The shield is active, bonetta.” I lower my gaze and look at her. “There are ships. Six of them. Female and younglings. The government. Human…"

To somewhere Emma doesn't recognize. A house. Suburban. Normal-looking. Completely unremarkable. Perfect for hiding. She's shown inside. To a bedroom. Basic. Clean. Safe. "You'll stay here until we figure out next steps," the team leader says. "No contact with family. No phone calls. No internet. Complete isolation for your protection." "How long?" "As long as it takes." They leave. Lock the door from outside. Emma sits on the bed. Alone. Again. She thinks about the woman's call. About Torres's partners. About enhanced humans fighting back.

She was so beautiful it was almost unbearable to look at her. I looked away before the feeling could crack something open in my chest that I couldn't afford to have cracked open right now. "Fine," I said. Elias blinked. Isabella straightened slightly. "Fine?" Elias repeated. "You want the key. I'll give you the key." I reached into my jacket pocket and pulled out a small USB drive, holding it up between two fingers so he could see it clearly. "It's all on here. The master clearance code, the override sequence, and the full architectural map of the locked chamber. Everything you need to walk straight into the heart of Xavier's system."

Let's go. "Is Isabella not there, then?" Marlo questioned. "No. Someone abducted her. She must have left Earth long ago and been somewhere in intergalactic space." Aleksander kept his eyes on the radar screen, but as soon as he gave him instructions, his thoughts began to wander. Marlo walked quickly. "Yes, they are in a compartment with their favorite foods. Again, Aleksander breathed heavily. His mood transformed to awareness as they reached the galaxy. He kept staring at the radar.

Emergency lights flickered red. Oxygen circulation slowed. Alexander grabbed her arm. We need to get out. Hale moved toward the exit hatch. It would not open. System under new control. The console flashed one last message. Primary biometric required to negotiate node access. Isabella stepped forward slowly. Negotiate, she whispered. With what. The black screens flickered once more. The stranger’s eyes appeared alone in the darkness. With your loyalty he said softly. Choose who you serve next.

It seems I have some more guardian research to do. By the time I arrive at the pack house, Ali is already here. I walk into the kitchen taking a seat at the large island in the middle of the open area. Ali sits quietly at the table with her laptop and an apple as she looks completely sucked in. Her keys are clacking as she types, followed by a lull while she reads and takes a bite of her apple. I can't help but watch her movements, the more time I spend with her the more intriguing she becomes. For someone so blunt she still remains such a mystery. I hadn't noticed the scar above her eye until today, a faint thin white line running the length of her brow and stopping just before her temple.

"Please remain close. We are being queued together to a registration depot which has been set up to accommodate our needs today. No one will touch you. There are observers and recordkeepers of Earth who will be trying to gain your attention, record you for their history, and potentially sway you to settle or not settle in an area other than the one designated for you as a Scientist. Don't engage them. Do you understand?" Tom locked eyes with John, quirked a brow, and sent a question to him with his mind, "Are you talking to her or to me? I won't leave your side. This is where I wanted to be. Serena brought me to you. She isn't your enemy." "Anyone who touches you feels like my enemy." "You'r

Avery kept her face tracking downward, driving a heavy industrial mop forward as she crossed the baseline, her heart hammering a frantic rhythm against her ribs. The interior architecture of the grey facility was thoroughly saturated with the pungent, clean scent of high-grade chemical antiseptics. The long corridors were entirely vacant, the contact of her soles against the rubber floor liner magnifying in her ears until it filled the quiet space like a ticking clock. She tracked the directional indicators down the lower levels until her focus anchored flat against the stark, black lettering stenciled over the steel: ISOLATION SECTOR B-3 The freezing air drew deep into her lungs, provoking

light toward the island. But it didn't hit. A violet shield—identical to the frequency of Alexander’s heartbeat—flared into existence over the island, powered by the Core itself. Inside the violet glow, Elena’s phone vibrated. A new app had appeared on the home screen. It had no name, just an icon of a silver-wood horse. She opened it. A single line of text appeared: "System Status: RECLAMATION INITIATED. Units available: 8 Billion. Commander: EVERETT-01. First Objective: Reclaim the Father."
