Nostromo, a commercial towing-vehicle en route
to Earth towing several million tons of mineral ore, carries a crew
of seven and a computer the crew calls "Mother", which monitors the
ship's operations. At the start of the film, Mother receives an
apparently unidentifiable signal from a nearby planet and wakes the
crew to investigate. The tug portion of the Nostromo lands on the
planet (with the ore and mining facilities left in orbit) and
Dallas, Kane and Lambert leave the ship to investigate the signal.
They soon discover a derelict spacecraft of unknown origin. The
group enters the craft, finding the pilot's (see Space Jockey)
dessicated remains. Kane descends into a chamber beneath the pilot,
discovering thousands of leathery eggs. One of the eggs opens, the
lifeform inside leaps out, breaks through the visor of Kane's
spacesuit, and attaches itself to his face. Dallas and Lambert
carry the unconscious Kane back to the Nostromo. Ripley, the
commanding officer in Dallas's absence, refuses to let them back
onboard, citing quarantine protocol. However, Ash disregards
Ripley's decision and lets them in.

It was rumored the Aliens were wiped out.
However, there were other Alien cells, remaining hidden -
until now!
A spy stole a coded document relating the last Alien's
whereabouts, and hid it.
Recently that document (containing the encoded transmission)
surfaced during the excavation for yet another strip mall. The
importance of knowing the location of the last Alien should
give you a sense of urgency for your quest to find the truth about
what really happened to the crew of the Nostromo and to take
revenge on the last of those Alien creatures.
As it turns out, ink as found in our common everyday ink
pens will destroy the Alien cells. It is most unfortunate
the Nostromo crew were unaware of this bit of Alien
trivia.
A copy of the encoded transmission is below. Your mission is to
decode the transmission, obtain the coordinates, visit that
location, and destroy the last remaining Alien cells by
noting your accomplishment therein…
If this puzzle shows sufficient interest, there
may be other puzzles in the future. Your feedback is
welcome.
