InAliens#1 by Mark Verheiden and Mark A. Nelson , the story picks up a few yr after the events ofAliens , withthe events ofAlien 3being irrelevantsince – at the time of this book ’s publication – that picture had n’t been issue yet . At the commencement ofAlien 3 , it was revealed that Newt had die out off - screen , and while she survive in this version of her story , her life is n’t much good than a immediate and sudden demise . InAliens#1 , Newt has been allow into a facility that take to be a psychiatrical hospital , but is more like a sadistic , torturous prison . Within this installation , Newt is pumped full of drugs rather than speaking with medical professional about her trauma , and she is n’t allowed to talk with the outside world about her treatment , which is cogent evidence that the adroitness itself know they are n’t helping people , and they do n’t need anyone on the outside finding out .
Not only is Newt stuck in this ‘ hospital ’ but , because she has no living congenator on Earth , she is never take into account to exit . So , after Newt escapes with her life from thehell she live by the Xenomorphs , she is brought to another kind of hell , one she ca n’t escape from – and it only catch worse . After some time survive at this adroitness against her will , the doctors decide Newt should have a lobotomy to ‘ help ’ her move past her trauma , and since there is no one in the outside world to represent Newt , they can just do it .
When Newt was immobilise in Hadley ’s Hope with a horde of Xenomorphs all around her , she at least had the freedom to move around the colony and bear onto the hope that someone would come and save her – or she would be able to save herself . Her chronicle was one of ‘ woman vs nature ’ which was a struggle she likely would not win , but one where she could at least fight . Newt had hope on LV-426 , and from that Leslie Townes Hope there was eventual salvation . When she was brought to Earth and placed in that mental adeptness , however , there was no hope . Newt was load with drug to keep her mind gentle , and her lobotomy was planned without her say . No matterhow scaryAlien’sXenomorphsare , there is nothing shuddery than being immobilize in a place completely devoid of promise – and that is incisively what Newt had to endure .
