Nathan Co

Nathan Co was a science officer android that served on-board the U.C.S.S. Andromeda. He was apart of the Xenomorph incident in 2252 and was among the four survivors of the event.

Creation
Nathan was created by Weyland Yutani scientists to be a non-violent science officer for company vessels. He was assigned to the Andromeda after it's science crew transferred to other ships. He was well liked by the crew when he began his work.

LV-117 Signal
When the crew was asked to investigate a mysterious signal by Evan Harris, Bruce, Rose, and Collin went to go investigate. Nathan stayed on the ship and recorded audiologs containing their current mission and description of the fauna on the planet. When they returned, Collin was infested by an alien facehugger and rushed to medical by Nathan. Nathan ran several tests and x-rays on the creature and found that it contained acid for blood, that could be lethal if taken off of Collin forcefully.

Alien Birth
Randomly, the facehugger detached itself from Collin, and Nathan informed the crew. As Collin tried to walk, he was killed when he gave birth to a Xenomorph before it then ran away into the halls. After a small funeral, Nathan helped search for the alien in the ship, until it grew up fast and killed Josh in the kitchens.

Xenomorph Hunt
Evan Harris then betrayed the crew by shutting off the security cameras as Tim and Mason tried to trap the alien In airlock B. Tim was killed by the alien and the crew came close to killing Evan, but Bruce stopped Michael from doing it. The crew went to go try and kill the alien in the mining tug, while Nathan stayed with Evan to make sure he didn't do anything else. When the returned with no success and Baffour's death, Evan escaped by beating on Nathan with nearby equipment. Bruce went to chase Evan, while Everyone else tried to help the malfunctioning Nathan. He began to spaz out and become violent, but Rose was able to fix him up. When Bruce returned with the news that Evan was killed by the alien, the new plan was to self destruct the ship.

Michael and Mason were killed in the process by the alien during the sequence countdown. Rose and Bryce met with Bruce and Nathan at Deck 5 and ran to the shuttle. The alien managed to stab Nathan and rip his body in half. Bruce carried Nathan's top half with him to the shuttle and hooked him into a machine. The four survivors escaped before the ship blew, leaving the alien to die. While everyone was in cryo sleep, Nathan navigated the shuttle to correctly on their course back to Earth.

Trivia
- Nathan was originally going to meet a fate similar to Ash in the original 1979 Alien, by betraying the crew and trying to kill them, but he was changed to be a friendly and stable android that helped the crew escape and lives at the end.
