Annalise saw a xenomorph coming her way. Good, now she could get news to the Mother. As she neared the xenomorph, it screed loudly and ran at her. Annalise panicked. Had the Queen ordered her death? Was this a rogue who felt the human was a danger to the nest? Annalise started to turn and run in the opposite direction, when she felt skeletal hands grab her, pulling her to the floor. She kicked her legs furiously as she fought the creature trying to pin her down, when she saw the scar. He was alive! "Sul'ss!" She threw her arms around him. "You didn't die, Sul'ss, you're ok!" She found herself entangled within arms and a tail. "Why didn't you tell me it was you?"

Sul'ss responded to the revelation of seeing Annalise alive and unharmed by the humans the only way he knew, and even that was involuntary. He wanted to mate with her.

Annalise cried out, "No, Sul'ss! There's no time! We have to get back to meet with the human soldiers." God help her, she wanted him too, but aside from a quickie, which she didn't even know if such a thing was known to xenomorphs, there really was no time. She felt his fingers scratching her back the way she liked. Moaning in both pleasure and with regret, she pulled back from her alien lover. "There really is no time, so please stop torturing me."
