INTRODUCTION
Name: Lt. Ellen Ripley
Age: 28
Race: Human
Data:
Warrant Officer Ripley has been fighting the xenomorph menace ever since she and her crew onboard the commercial starship Nostromo 'accidentally' stumbled across the wreckage of an ancient spacecraft of unknown origin on planet LV-426. She volunteered to return to the planet with a squad of Colonial Marines to rescue any survivors of the Hadley's Hope terraforming station but the mission was a disaster. On the trip home there was a fire in the starships' cryogenic compartment and Ripley had to be ejected in an EEV to the nearest planet, Fury 161, a maximum security prison. Unfortunately, she became impregnated by a facehugger--one of the early stages of the alien life cycle--and faced imminent death upon the birth of the new alien growing inside her chest. The Liandri Corporation offered to save her life by surgically removing the creature from her but Ripley refused, knowing that Liandri would use the alien for their bioweapons research. She nobly sacrificed her life rather than sell out her conscience and then dived into the lead works. The corporation was able to recover some blood samples found in the prison infirmary and use them to make a clone of Ripley. The first seven clones proved to be a failure; however number eight was a perfect match. Not only were they able to safely extract an alien queen fetus from her body, but the fortuitous discovery of Ripley 8's human-xenomorph DNA splicing gave Liandri new ideas for bioweapons research; the clone had the advantages of the xenomorph's speed, strength, acidic blood and predatory viciousness. Ripley 8 is now being evaluated in the tournaments.

I tried to cover all the bases in this voice pack, even going so far as to use a couple of samples from Weaver's other non-Alien related movies in order to do so, but there were some sound events I just couldn't find the right voice for. Be that as it may, this is a robust voice pack and I hope you will enjoy it. Recording and editing all the samples was quite tedious but well worth the effort. If I had any talent at all I would make a skin or model, but for the time being I chose to associate the Blackjack skin with this VP because she looks similar to Ripley. I had to resort to some careful splicing of sounds to make the appropriate commands, but it didn't always work out as well as I'd hoped. For example, I had to whittle down the line 'The ship's been go since the attack' to 'Go attack' for the ASSAULT THE BASE command. Now she doesn't sound very commanding while speaking this order, but it's the best I could do. The sounds are 8-bit, 22KHz mono .WAV files. The VP contains foul language throughout, so there was no point in me marking any of the taunts. I've also included some Aliens vs. Predator related game add-ons in the Links section,
