Alien 3 (1992) - Trading Card #34

Datalog: Approx. 0:300 Hours, Day 3
Dillon rounded the corner just as I was confronting the creature. As the Alien crept closer to us, Dillon knew I was his only chance for survival. He grabbed me, holding me hostage. He used me as his shield as we inched back to the main corridor, leading the Alien closer to the lead mould. 

Transcribing the text from the back of the cards onto this blog's pages had been both an education and reminder of just how muddled and up in the air the plot of Alien 3 truly was. This series glosses over some things, reinvents others, or just makes weird stuff up. Whether you had seen the movie before getting the cards or not, the fractured 'story' being told here feels as if it were being improvised from card to card.
