Story/Spoilers
In issue #1, Taking place after the events of Predator: Fire and Stone, Captain Paget, aboard the Hasdrubal is in the ship deck writing her report to Weyland-Yutani regarding her previous mission aboard Tartarus, in which she and her 31 marine platoon managed to seize an Engineer Juggernaut and bring it into orbit under the duress of various Yautja hunters. The Hasdrubal is close to the derelict, but are unable to contact the marine squad, led by Sergeant Roth, inside it. As the marines inside the Juggernaut are trying to establish communications with the Hasdrubal, one of the marines, Indelicato, notices that the sarcophagus-like object that had been hit by gunfire (during a battle with a Predator), was leaking. The object suddenly opens, and an Engineer emerges. As the marine tries to peacefully introduce himself to him, the Engineer crushes Indelicato’s head, with the other marines retreating. Back at the Hasdrubal, the crew notices that the Juggernaut is no longer heading towards Ganymede station, the coordinates that the Synthetic Singer had given had suddenly changed, and Captain Paget demands that they follow the ship.

Next in issue #2, Six days later, the derelict lands on the moon LV-223 and the Engineer leaves the ship, the marines follow shortly after the Engineer is out of sight. It is revealed that the marines had been avoiding the Engineer for the entirety of his journey to the moon. The marines set out in search of food, water and shelter and Roth orders Singer to setup a beacon that would alert the Hasdrubal of their position. During their exploration of the terrain, the group are attacked by a horde of mutated Xenomorphs. A battle ensues, resulting in Rucker being taken by the creatures and Jhalil being gravely injured by the Xeno’s acid blood. The team are suddenly saved by Geryon survivors Angela Foster and Galgo Helder. Angela Foster and Galgo Helder announce that they have “back-up”… and suddenly a Predator appears in their midst.

Next in issue #3, After introducing the cautious marines to Ahab, a Yautja and the other survivors, Chris and Jill, Angela and Galgo bring the group back to their fortress where they have food, water and other supplies. They also treat Jhalil. Angela and survivor of Tartarus Melville discuss why the Engineers are so hostile. Foster suggests that it’s possible that Engineers created humanity and see their creation as a mistake. Melville on the other hand believes that they are actually protecting humanity by keeping them as far away from the black liquid as possible, and anyone exposed by the substance has to be purged. Meanwhile the Engineer from the Juggernaut reaches a temple containing a stasis-pod. He wakes a second Engineer from stasis and brings him outside the temple. Galgo and Ahab from a distance, observe the two Engineers; the first is carrying two urns back to the ship and the second is fully armored and equipped with a powerful rifle. Galgo returns to the base to warn the others of the two Engineers. He figures that the second has been woken up by the other Engineer to hunt down and kill the group. Singer suggests that they attempt to hijack their derelict so that the group could finally leave the moon. But if there is any hope of making it work, they are going to need a serious diversion.

Finally in issue #4, Angela plans for Ahab and Galgo to distract the second Engineer whilst she, Roth and Singer go to the derelict to deal with the first Engineer. Tartarus survivor Humble also volunteers to go. The rest of the team, Freebody, Wearing, Chris, Jill, and Melville are to carry the supplies as well as the wounded Jhalil. Galgo and Ahab battle the second Engineer whilst Freebody’s group is attacked by Xenomorphs. Roth manages to briefly distract the first Engineer and allow the others to board the derelict. But the Engineer, without knowing the team is on the ship, also boards it and takes flight in the vessel, leaving Roth and the rest of the group with the Xenomorph horde and the second Engineer. Freebody believes that Foster had abandoned them, whilst Wearing tells her to concentrate on the Xenos.
