[ WP ] : And just because we could , we taught it how to sing .

A.I over intercom `` security alert, xenos presence detected on the maintenance tunnels near engineering'' 
 
 `` Ah shit, this is the second time in a month and a half...'' 
 
 *Head of Security over secure comms* `` Alright everyone come get your riot gear and laser guns this time we are crushing those bastards before they infest half of the research wing like last time'' `` And watch out for for collateral damage! we dont want to kill another crew member like the poor clown last time'' 
 
 `` yeah, we still havent gotten a replacement clown, all we have is the stupid mime'' 
 
 I went up to the armory and got my gear then we all headed out following the HOS. 
 
 We got to the engineering hallway and there were engineers outside that had closed off the area by shutting the fire emergency airlocks. 
 
 `` Alright were going to go through and you close the airlocks behind us'' said the HOS to the engineers. 
 
 Turning to us he said `` Alright make sure your guns are set to kill, stun wont do shit against xeno's. Lets go!'' 
 
 We all followed him in through the opening the engineers made for us and they closed them behind us. 
 
 A.I over secure comms* `` The xenos presence was detected near the custodial closet of the janitors.'' 
 
 we opened the airlock to our left and entered the maintenance tunnels, it was dark and there were assortments of cables along the walls. we moved single file along the tunnels with our rifles raised and flashlights illuminating the way. 
 
 The HOS who was leading us along suddenly stopped `` can you hear that?'' 
 
 a soft melodic sound could be heard, like music but unlike any I had ever head before. We kept moving and came upon the custodial closets airlock to our left. It was open and the sound was definitively coming from inside of it. 
 
 Voices could be heard now from inside. `` Come on shh! quiet now!'' `` their going to find us man!'' `` I'm trying cant you see?!'' 
 
 The HOS signalled to us and we went in with guns drawn. `` freeze!'' 
 
 the two janitors jumped up and covered the dark purple xenomorph with their bodies `` No wait dont shoot! dont shoot!'' 
 
 The melody had stopped now and the xenomorph was crouching hiding behind the janitors. 
 
 `` Why the hell are you protecting it! do you want this whole station to be infested?!'' said the HOS while keeping his gun aimed. 
 
 `` All right just hear us out please!'' 
 
 The HOS lowered his weapon `` This better be good because if not you two will find a nice and lengthy permanent stay in the isolated brig'' 
 
 The two janitors looked at each other and then one began speaking. `` So after the last infestation we came back to the Closet and found it hiding in a corner, at first we were terrified but it didnt try to attack us at all. It seemed to be the last survivor aboard the station....'' 
 ``.... and so just because we could we taught it how to sing. Want to see?'' he turns to the xenomorph and gestures and it begins to sing the odd tune in its unnatural voice. 
 `` cool right?...'' 
 
 The HOS looks at them with a stern face and says `` Officers! arrest the two janitors and take that thing to the xenobiology wing!'' 
 
 Some time later I'm in the security office near shuttle arrivals and hear two new assistant crew-members talking. 
 
 `` Did you read the part in the crewmans handbook about *not harboring xenos specimens without authorization under any conditions*'' 
 
 `` Haha yeah, but who would be stupid enough to try that?'' 
 
 `` Hey you know what they say, every rule is there thanks to some idiot doing exactly that before''
