2122
June 3 - USCSS Nostromo encounters what is assumed to be a distress signal emanating from the planetoid designated LV-426, in the Zeta 2 Reticuli system. The crew, under contract to Weyland-Yutani, are awakened from hypersleep to investigate the signal coming from the moon. They land and Captain Dallas, Executive Officer Kane, and Navigator Lambert investigate a derelict spacecraft that contains the fossilized remains of an unknown alien species, and thousands of xenomorph eggs. One of the xenomorph spore “facehugger” attaches itself to Kane’s face and implants an embryo in his chest.
June 4 - After approximately 20 hours on LV-426, the Nostromo takes off again, by which time the facehugger has detached from Kane. Shortly after setting course for Earth Kane awakens. During a final meal before returning to hypersleep, the embryo inside Kane hatches, killing him. The hatchling “chestburster” grows to over 7 feet tall in about 2 hours and kills Engineer’s Mate Brett, during a search for the creature.
June 4 - About 30 minutes later Captain Dallas is taken by the Alien, while trying to force it through the ship's ducts towards the airlock.
June 4 - Warrant Officer Ripley discovers that Weyland-Yutani wants the Alien specimen and the crew of the Nostromo are expendable. It is revealed Science Officer Ash is in fact a Hyperdyne Systems 120-A/2 android, who has been protecting the Alien. Chief Engineer Parker renders Ash inoperative when Ash attacks Ripley.
June 4 - Parker and Lambert are killed by the Alien whilst evacuating the Nostromo. Ripley rigs the ship to self-destruct and escapes on the shuttlecraft Narcissus with the ship’s cat Jones. The Alien also escapes on the shuttle, but Ripley manages to blow it out of the airlock, effectively killing it.
(From Alien. Timings are estimates based around the times mentioned in the film. Parker overestimated repair times at 25 hours, however the repairs weren't complete when Dallas order the ship to take off. A deleted scene estimates 1-2 hours for Brett and Parker to rig up the cattle prods. Parker mentions it would take about 20 minutes to rig up the incinerators.)
