A human/Alien hybrid cloned by scientists aboard the Auriga, Ripley 8 was created using blood samples Clemens took from Ripley on Fiorina 161. The military just wants the Queen Embryo inside her, but they decide not to destroy her after extracting their specimen. She's locked inside an observation room, constantly patrolled by guards.

After surgery to take the Alien out of her, she discovers an "8" tattooed on her arm. The scientists question her to see if she still has her memories intact. She does remember small pieces of her past.

General Perez wants to kill her since she almost wiped out the Xenomorphs, but Wren and Gediman convince him to let her live. While Ripley 8 is eating, she asks Gediman how she got there. He tries to help her understand.

Wren arrogantly tells her they're going to breed Aliens to control them. "Roll over, play dead? Heel?" she asks. "You can't teach it tricks." Wren responds, "Why not? We're teaching you."

When Wren examines her later, she attacks him, nearly choking the man to death until a guard stuns her. Ripley 8 is incredibly strong with other Alien traits such as acidic blood. It's all due to her DNA mixing with the Queen's during the cloning process.

She beats up a couple mercenaries who were hired to drop off hosts for the Aliens. Later, Call, one of the human smugglers, goes to Ripley's room to assasinate her. Realizing the Queen has already been taken out, Call backs off. Ripley 8 considers killing the intruder but decides instead to release her, telling the little girl to go.

After the Aliens escape, Ripley finds a way out of her room using her own blood on a control panel. She helps the mercenaries by killing one of the creatures. They team up to try to get off the ship. When they stumble on the room where the previous 7 attempts to clone Ripley are kept, she breaks down, burning the whole place with a Flamethrower. Then she turns the weapon on Wren. Even though she obviously wants to, she doesn't torch him.

The smugglers discover where the Alien hosts were. Ripley notices one of them is still alive. She picks up his scent, realizing he has a creature inside him. "There's a monster in your chest," she tells him. "These guys hijacked your ship. And they sold your cryotube to this human. And he put an Alien inside of you. It's a really nasty one. And in a few hours, it's gonna burst its way through your ribcage. And you're gonna die. Any questions?" Purvis asks, "Who are you?" "I'm the monster's mother."

Purvis joins the group. They plan to help him somehow. When Wren leads them through an underwater kitchen, Ripley warns them it's a bad idea. Sure enough, the Aliens have laid another trap, confirming her gut feeling.

A 2nd generation android created by renegade synthetics, Call finds out about the military's experimental project to resurrect the Alien species. She joins a team of mercenaries to try to stop it.

Working as a mechanic alongside Vriess, she becomes friends with him. When Johner drops a knife in one of Vriess's legs, she breaks the blade off it. She's not afraid to stand up for herself.

Call plans to kill Ripley, but by the time the clone is found, the Queen has already been removed. Call doesn't trust Ripley. While the others don't mind Ripley tagging along, Call thinks it's a bad idea. "She's not human. She was part of his experiment, and she will turn on us in a second. She's too much of a risk. We have to leave her."

When Call tries to help Wren open a door, he shoots her. With a look of shock on her face, she falls down into the ship's flooded kitchen. Wren escapes, locking the exit behind him. After Johner takes out an Alien that attacks the group, Call mysteriously reappears on the other side of the sealed door, opening it for the others. Call must have found another way around that they missed before because of the Alien chasing them.

Ripley 8 examines the wound on Call's side, learning the girl's secret about being an android. Call doesn't like who she is. "I'm disgusting," she tells Ripley. "How can you stand being what you are?" Call asks. "Not much choice," the clone responds.
