"Ellen Ripley: Added report, personal message. This is... for my daughter. Hi, Amanda. I'm recording this for you, my sweetheart... and I hope you get to hear it one day. You see, I, um... I got into trouble. Um, my ship... Um, there was an accident, sweetheart, and, um... We found an alien creature. It was very dangerous, and the only way we could stop it was to destroy the ship. Uh, I'm okay. I'm stuck on this lifeboat, a long way out... But we had to destroy the ship. We had to destroy the Nostromo. We just couldn't risk bringing that thing home with us. I needed to protect you. Don't worry... Don't worry about me. I'm sure I'll see you very soon. I love you, sweetheart."
