"We were hunting Ripley," he replies, "we had tracked her to the Isle of Glintshore." He feels the rage building in his heart as he remembers watching her turning away from him and his voice grows tight as he tries to control himself. "She was about to escape and I gave chase....I couldn't let her go again...I would not let her go." He remembers moving to fire....and Ripley turning to raise her gun at him....and then shots, from who he doesn't remember. And then....blackness. After that he was standing on the hill outside this strange abandoned town...and his friends were gone. So he'd done what he'd always been good at, adapting and waiting.

His hands become fists as his pain is given physical form. "There were shots and then the world went black for a moment before I opened my eyes outside this town."
