Now Dark Horse presents, “Aliens: Inhuman Condition”. On a distant, frozen world, “artificial persons” are manufactured in discreet seclusion. With formidable new security synthetics coming online, how better to test their mettle than against a hive of deadly Xenomorphs? But as Socialization Specialist Jean DuPaul sees her ever-more-human android charges sent to their destruction, she learns that the most savage species in the universe is man…

Story/Spoilers
On the ice planet Nivalis-4, Miss Jean Dupal works at a Weyland-Yutani Artificial Humanoid Fabrication Plant as a Socialization Specialist where she teaches newly designed synthetics human traits. The synthetics were designed by Science Officer Jeromy Harris, who Miss Dupal has called her fiance and husband on multiple occasions. It seems the idea of their marriage was nothing but a fabrication stemming from a past incident. Jean survived being trapped in a room for three weeks with a Xenomorph that incubated inside Officer Harris’ chest before killing him and terrorizing Miss Dupal. After Karl Bennett, a representative of Weyland-Yutani, deems the Nivalis-4 fabrication plant worthy of producing the next, state of the art, line of synthetics, Chief Administrator Joshua Alder orders Miss Dupaul off-world, stating her behavior has been volatile since her incident with the alien. He also orders all previous synthetic models to wage war against a nearby alien hive to wipe them out-both the Aliens and the obsolete artificial people. In protest Miss Jean Dupaul goes with them into the Hive where she purposefully allows herself to be impregnated, telling the Queen she “has something [she] wants” and returns to the facility for one final act of revenge.
