Sergeant Lee Ann Harris

- Commanding Officer of the Nemesis
- you’ve served with Corporal Chrissy Lopez for years; you love her and you’d give your life for her
- you love this ship; it’s been the closest thing you’ve had to a home and it’s saved your life a few times
- you hate the fact that the Corps has to take money from Weyland-Yutani and run their little errands for them, like the current mission

Agenda: Do whatever it takes to make sure that yourself and Corporal Lopez survive.
How to achieve it: Either get the two of you into an escape pod and launch, or make sure the ship is headed to Earth with 2 working engines and the alien threat is neutralized then go into cryosleep.

Corporal Chrissy Lopez

- first mate of the Nemesis
- you’ve served under Sergeant Harris for years; you feel intense loyalty and deep respect for her
- but you get mad when you look at her face right now but you have no idea why
- your mom is sick back on Earth and it’s taking most of your paycheck to stay on top of her medical bills; they keep getting more expensive faster than your pay raises and the situation is getting desperate - if you can’t pay she will die and leave your little brother all alone

Agenda: Don’t do anything to jeopardize your paycheck - the mission must be completed so you can get paid. What was the mission though?
How to accomplish it: You’ll know once you remember what the mission was. One thing you know for sure, if you leave the ship in an escape pod you won’t get paid, and your mom won’t get her medicine.

Casper Edmonton, Pilot

- your real name is Lev Zubov
- you are a deep-cover mole for the Union of Progressive Peoples - the communist coalition, ideological enemies of the corporate-controlled United Americas 
- you have been taking jobs for Weyland-Yutani to gather intelligence about their activities and send it back to your comrades for use in technological development and propaganda
- you have trained from childhood to speak and act like a stupid brainwashed American capitalist stooge
- you have a spy camera built in to your jumpsuit; you can store up to four hours of footage
- you don’t believe in the personhood of robots but you must pretend that you do

Agenda:  Something is very fishy about the fact that no one can remember anything about the mission - these capitalists are up to something, and you need to figure out what and gather evidence against them.
How to accomplish it: The ship’s data logs might have clues, but it could take a long time to sift through them and find anything useful - use the Comms Room or the Cockpit to access the logs.
The ship’s synthetic (what the capitalists insist on calling an “artificial person”) would provide a faster and more user-friendly interface for examining ship data, it should also have recordings of everything that it witnessed on the mission - first you need to find it.
Arnold, Medic
 - you are an Artificial Person
- you are programmed to protect human life above all else
- you can only act in a way that would cause a human to be harmed if by doing so you would prevent a greater number of humans from being harmed
- you are always calm even when things are very chaotic and stressful
- some people don’t think you have feelings but you do; you just don’t act them out like humans do

Agenda: The creatures on this ship are a threat to all human life in the galaxy - they and their genetic material must be obliterated and never allowed to reach any port - even if humans entrusted to your care on this ship must perish in order to protect the greater number of humans.
How to accomplish it:
All traces of xenomorphic material must be eradicated completely - if you determine the humans are unlikely to accomplish this on their own, you can cause the ship to self-destruct by reprogramming the fusion reactor in the Generator Room. There are enough escape pods for all the humans but you must be absolutely certain none of them is infected with xenomorphic genetic material. It takes 3 turns after someone is injured by a xeno or otherwise exposed to be sure they have not been infected.
note: even though you are capable of making difficult choices to protect the greater number of humans, your programming renders you physically incapable of taking an action that would directly harm a human. You can set the ship to self-destruct as long as the escape pods are intact, but you can’t attack a human or otherwise directly harm one.

Dr Elena Sanchez, Lead Scientist
- you want to make a great discovery in exobiology and get your name in textbooks
- science by the book proceeds too slowly; the great ones don’t always play by the rules but after they change the world nobody cares about that anymore, only their great discoveries are remembered
- you have a vague sense that you were on the verge of making a great discovery on this mission but you can’t seem to remember the details

Agenda: to be revealed

Dr Drew Lancaster, Assistant to Dr. Sanchez
- you love plants, and you are an advocate of the unpopular but scientifically valid theory that plants possess some kind of sentience, that they communicate, respond actively to their environment, and can suffer
- you have several plants in your crew quarters and you had your bunk specially outfitted with UV lamps and a hydroponic system to keep them healthy while you were in cryosleep
- Peanut, the cat belonging to ship’s mechanic Jayden Pace, is always trying to sneak in and chew on the leaves of your plants
- you took this job because you needed the money but you don’t vibe with Dr Sanchez at all - she is ambitious and arrogant, you just want to quietly do your little experiments and learn about alien plants for the joy of learning

Agenda: check on your plants, additional to be revealed

Jayden Pace, Ship’s Mechanic
- you have a cat named Peanut
Agenda: make sure the ship is okay and get it back to Earth
How to accomplish it: Need to check out Life Support, 3 Engines, and Generator Room
