The lack of explanation for her mother's disappearance greatly affected Ripley, to the point where, as a young adult, she took up work as an engineer in the sector where the ''Nostromo'' had vanished, apparently hoping to be close at hand should any news arise.<ref name="AI">{{cite game|title=[[Alien: Isolation]]|year=[[2014]]|developer=[[Creative Assembly]]|publisher=[[SEGA]]|platform=Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360, Xbox One}}</ref> This news came in the form of [[Christopher Samuels|Samuels]], a [[synthetic]] in the employ of Weyland-Yutani, who came to see Ripley to inform her that the black box from the ''Nostromo'' had been recovered.

Ripley and the team travelled to Sevastopol aboard the ''[[USCSS Torrens|Torrens]]'', a commercial courier ship privately owned by Captain [[Diane Verlaine|Verlaine]]. Upon arrival, they found communications with the station scrambled and unintelligible. With the station's docking facilities damaged, Ripley, Samuels and Weyland-Yutani lawyer [[Nina Taylor|Taylor]] attempted to spacewalk over to Sevastopol, but debris resulting from an explosion severed their guide line. Ripley managed to enter the station through an airlock, but was separated from the others and found herself unable to contact neither them nor the ''Torrens''.
