Mr. Weyland gave his grand-vision speech before his hand-selected space-explorer (Amlan Satan!) would be sent to outer-space to explore the uncharted planet Origae outside our solar-system. The Weyland Company had designed a grand space-ship on which Satan (Amlan!) would fly alone to explore the planet Origae from which emanated an intelligent alien communication signal. Mr. Weyland expressed on TV why/how Amlan Satan would be the first alien-explorer on behalf of humanity on Earth, and Mr. Weyland looked very sharp indeed on TV.

AMLAN SATAN: I'd planned on meditating in the mountains, but this Weyland mission is something I mustn't refuse now.

The Weyland space-ship on which Amlan Satan would fly to Origae was a magnificent marvel intended to showcase to a potential intelligent alien species contacted on planet Origae. It had all the working facilities to mimic a working base-station, say, on a planetary moon system, which is what Weyland hoped Amlan (a soldier as well as a diplomat!) would negotiate with the alien species possibly living on Origae. The Weyland space-ship, the Ark, was sent into space on July 4, 2090.

AMLAN SATAN: I have no perturbations of being the lone pilot and crew-member of this Origae mission and will do good!

The Ark space-ship was really complete with all working and living functionality! It had all the inner designs and working parts of a living vessel in outer-space, and it flew at great speeds, and Weyland estimated the Ark would reach Origae just after 1 year of flight, giving Amlan Satan, the lone crew-member about 6 months in hyper-sleep and 6 months to exercise and prepare physically/mentally to 'greet' the possible alien on uncharted planet Origae. Amlan remarked when he woke from hyper-sleep that it felt like a moon-station or futuristic camping experience in outer-space.

Satan (Amlan!) was given a special handheld laser-gun, which he'd use in an emergency situation, should the alien(s) he 'greeted' on uncharted planet Origae turned out to be in any way hostile. Amlan trained for 3 months on the Weyland space-ship Ark to shoot and target-shoot with the handheld laser-gun, preparing himself fully to simply hunt and shoot-to-kill any alien creature that would be unfriendly. However, Satan (Amlan) prayed he'd never have to fire such a glowing gun.

EMERGENCY TRANSMISSION: I've made contact with a lethal insect-dragon like alien on Origae which I've named the 'Xenomorph' for its uncanny ability to move around like a black serpent; it has razor-claws and a deadly tail it can use to rip through flesh or swipe out a human's feet from under him/her; the 'Xenomorph' possesses acidic blood and saliva and doesn't hesitate to spit the corrosive liquid as a sign of pure lethal antagonism and may have sent that intelligent communication signal detected on Earth to 'lure' humans there to just hunt; this is an emergency transmission; I'm engaged in a deadly and possibly fatal cat-and-mouse 'game' with this 'Xenomorph' alien and will either flee its clutches, kill it outright with my laser-gun, or die in its grip; repeat --- this is an emergency transmission to Weyland Company regarding the 'Xenomorph' alien on Origae.

Amlan Satan thankfully made it back to Earth safely on the Weyland space-ship Ark after fleeing the clutches of the terrifying but intelligent and cunning 'Xenomorph' alien. Amlan managed to shoot its whipping dragon-like tail off with his handy-dandy Weyland laser-gun before having to force the space-ship Ark to launch off planet Origae ahead of its ability to fully rev-up its engines, but it flew back to Earth within 1 year.

MR. WEYLAND: Your scientific reports are impressive, Amlan.

AMLAN: I've prepared a host of equations for description of Origae's gravity-fields and atmosphere.

MR. WEYLAND: We see you've also provided rate-equations to map the 'Xenomorph' alien's shifting speeds!

AMLAN: This alien creature is simply a smart hunter-killer, and its lone objective is to refuse to accept descent.

MR. WEYLAND: Descent?

AMLAN: Yes, sir; I mean this alien defies the natural laws of known attraction...and physics.

Weyland would go on to developing a series of thrilling 'Xenomorph' combat video-games for youngsters on Earth, to encourage civilization funding for future missions to the Origae area, so more ready-soldiers would be recruited for specific missions to try to fight this predatory alien in case it had hostile intentions to chart a course to Earth for colonization or invasion! Mr. Weyland considered these 'video-games' trophies of manmade toasts to civilization ambitions regarding war-in-space.

Amlan Satan died a depressed man somewhat and was buried in a nice cemetery in North Carolina, in a bucolic tree-field when he was about 65. He'd died from pneumonia related to a mysterious illness procured from engagement with the Xenomorph-alien's acidic saliva which had made contact on his back. Amlan left a note for the Weyland Company prior to his death/burial which eerily read, "Avoid future tangles with this insect-dragon alien, for it's robbed me of a basic human/Earth dream, though I die a lone-survivor of a worthy diagonal."
