Biography[]
Ol' Blue was a Xenomorph drone that was used by Philip Rice and his team to track a missing egg which was stolen by Ahiro, a procurer from Synsound. The Alien was implied to be reguarly used as a "bloodhound" by Rice, whom calls it as such, stating to another Medtech employee that while the Alien was theirs, it was his bloodhound.
In order to be successfully used for tracking, Ol' Blue was fitted with an exoskeleton that was meant to restrain it if necessary, it was also fitted with an intravenous drip that would administer surgealyrn, a powerful anaesthetic that could be activated at the press of a button.
During the first mission, Ol' Blue had crushed an addict and a drug dealer to death while tracking the missing egg, the security team realized why, the two victims were dealing Xeno-Zip, which was taken from a rival hive causing Blue to become highly violent.
After the incident, Ol' Blue was taken to the medical security headquarters and was being prepared to go out again to resume the hunt, with Rice stating he hoped not to have to use the surgealyrn.
Ol' Blue successfully leads the team to the lab where the stolen egg was taken but they realized it had already hatched. The team then placed Ol'Blue in Mozart's cage while they dealt with the threat that Mozart presents. The team eventually killed Ahiro and Mozart, ending the threat.

- Alongside Mozart, Blue is abnormally large for a typical Drone, appearing well over 7 feet tall and possibly being even taller than the Sevastopol Drone.
