[WP] Predators come to hunt aliens in the pyramid below the wrecked research station. Approaching the entrance, one finds a contorted corpse shrouded in torn bloody cloth labeled "R.J. MacReady." It takes a frozen human finger to thaw and use as bait below. (Mashup Aliens vs. Predator & The Thing)	11
