Ripley sits down and starts the shuttle's systems.

 

She throws switches, lights come on, the Narcissus comes to life.

 

The launching engines fire.

 

Ripley watches the Nostromo get smaller..........

 

and smaller.....

 

until the countdown reaches zero.

 

The first blast shakes the ship.

 

but not as much as the second one.

 

Ripley is jolted around in her chair.

 

The third and final blast gives a brilliant display of yellow light.

 

Ripley quietly mutters "I got you..... you son of a bitch"

 

She gets Jones ready for hypersleep.

 

and puts him gently into a chamber.

 

She starts undressing and preparing for sleep herself.

 

A few switches here.....

 

and a few switches there.
