BiographyEdit

Guarding GolicEdit

When the alien started killing, Morse was quick to blame Ripley for the ensuing deaths, before eventually becoming pre-occupied with his own security. After the beast was trapped in the waste dump, Golic, now pronounced a "mental case" and strapped to a bed, convinced him to remove the strait-jacket. Golic then swiftly knocked out his "friend" with a fire extinguisher and went in search of the creature. Golic murdered another prisoner before releasing the alien, which then killed him in gratitude.

Trap in the LeadworksEdit

Morse narrowly escaped death from the alien during the bait and chase sequence. While Dillon was fighting the alien in the mould, Ripley ordered Morse to pour the lead, drowning the beast in molten metal. The alien escaped confinement after a brief boiling, saw Ripley and began climbing up the pipework. Noticing that she was near the sprinklers, Morse shouted at her to "douse the fucker!"

The sprinklers were activated, and the alien's metallic exoskeleton cooled rapidly and exploded. Shortly after the alien's destruction, Weyland-Yutani arrived for Ripley, but she refuses, knowing what their real intentions are. As she climbs onto the mobile platform with Morse, a soldier shoots Morse in the leg. Despite the agonizing pain, he stops the platform over the furnace and watches in astonishment as Ripley falls gracefully into the furnace, Much to the company's dismay. As everyone is evacuated, the soldiers bandage his leg and lead him out to the dropship, with Morse laughing and cursing at the Weyland-Yutani staff.

AftermathEdit

After being re-assigned from Fury 161, he writes an account of the events on the prison planets, saying that Ellen Ripley sacrificed herself to save them from the "beast". However, the story was banned.

Personality and TraitsEdit

Morse was a loud argumentative individual. He had no reservations on stating how he felt about anything. Morse also enjoyed picking fights at any opportunity, one of his favorites to fight with was Francis Aaron, who Morse constantly referred to as "85".
