Introduction: Story One: Cruel and UnusualTwo years after the events aboard the U.S.S. California, a very pregnant Dr. Teresa Boyd wakes up in a Weyland Industries rehabilitation center. The great minds at Weyland Industries are very keen to learn what occurred aboard the doomed vessel. Lead Researcher, Dr. Elmira Wessinger, is especially interested in Teresa鈥檚 questionable predicament.As stubborn and tight-lipped as ever, Dr. Boyd refuses to divulge the much sought after information. Nevertheless, Dr. Wessinger will not be dissuaded. She will stop at nothing to find out exactly what Teresa knows.Story 2: V'DahaThe narrative which follows is a wrapping up of the story arcs created in my version of a yautja universe.  More slow-burn than the first story Blood and Oaths: Cruel and Unusual.  Several things are going on and there are gaps of time between the events in one place and another.  Expect twists and turns.  The lives of the people involved are very much like a soap opera and they are somewhat dysfunctional due to various reasons.  Some romance.  But if you stay until the end, you won't be disappointed.  The end already exists.  ??I should have explained this from the onset.  Dear Readers,Warning:  The above tags and warnings exist because the story in question involves certain elements of all categories. I'm not sure what qualifies as too much or just enough, so I am erring on the side of caution. NOTHING truly explicit occurs. As in, there may be touch but no vivid descriptions. But sometimes, the simple act can be enough. The story I am attempting to weave contains events which may be triggering to some: death, torture, mass murder, and language. These elements are necessary to the eventual conclusion of the story arcs in question. Disclaimer:  As stated before: I do not own the copyright to Alien/Predator, or the mimic.
