Timothy Knighten

Timothy was a member of the Andromeda Mining crew and provided help as a skilled computer technician and security personnel. Tim was present in the Xenomorph incident on the Andromeda. Timothy would be killed by the alien within the ship's air ducts while trying to lead the alien to the airlock.

Early Life
Timothy was born in 2218 on Earth and grew up with only a mother and no father. He would go on to become very skilled in computers and found good jobs for his talents. Weyland Yutani recognized his skills and offered him a job as an assistant on the Andromeda. Timothy joined up mainly because his past friends were in the business and there was a decent money offering.

Investigating the Signal
On the crew's return trip to Earth, the Andromeda's crew was woken early from cryo sleep and given orders by the company to supply a nearby colony on Dyosmos with some supplies. When they arrived, captain Bruce talked with Evan Harris of the company to look into a distress signal that was over the mountain that was causing colonists to go missing. Bruce, Collin, and Rose went to go look for the signal, while Tim and everyone else stayed on the Andromeda to keep the ship tidy and primed.

When the search team returned, Collin had a face hugger attached to his face. Baffour would not allow them to come inside of the ship since it would endanger all of them. Mason disobeyed orders and opened the airlock for them to come in with Collin. Tim was furious at this decision and almost fought Mason for his action when they watched Collin's medical operation.

Birth of the Alien
The face hugger eventually detached itself from Collin, but left Collin sick. When Bruce and Rose tried to help him stand, he started to have a seizure, then an alien burst from his chest. Tim tried to help stop it from leaving the room, but it was too small to catch. Tim was very annoyed at Mason, going on to blame him for Collin's death and endangering them all.

Searching for the Alien
Bruce separated everyone into pairs to search for the alien before it could cause anymore harm. Tim went with Rose and Michael with a net and stun baton, searching the offices. The three would later be called up by Bruce after Josh had been killed by the Alien, which was now full size. When they came back Tim was very frustrated about the situation, advertising that they should use their guns. Bryce argued back saying that shooting it would cause even more harm because of it's acid blood.

Trapping the Alien
Bruce came up with a plan of having two people try to trap the alien in the airlock while everyone else monitors the security cameras and motion trackers. Tim volunteered to close the doors behind the alien while Mason would lead it through deck 5. Tim traveled through the air ducts with a flamethrower and motion tracker, just in case the alien came close. The plan was going according to plan as the alien followed Mason slowly while Tim closed the door

behind it. As Tim tried to continue through, he made too many loud noises, so the alien heard him and climbed into the airducts. Everyone tried to track the alien, but Evan interfered with the cameras and motion trackers temporarily.

Death
Tim eventually tracked the alien on his motion tracker as it started to grow closer to him. He attempted to try and leave the air ducts via the ladders but was stopped once the alien cut him off his path and attacked him. Tim went silent and his body was taken to the Xenomorphs nest in the ship, killing him slowly as he was encased in the walls. His body would be destroyed with the ship once the Andromeda was self destructed.
