Nicole Brennan (Earth-2124)

"Isaac, it's me. I wish I could talk to you."

- - Nicole Brennan's message to Isaac Clarke

Nicole "Nick" Brennan was a Senior Medical Officer aboard the planet cracker Ishimura during the Second Aegis VII Incident. A survivor of the xenomorph outbreak on the Ishimura, Brennan attempted to locate and find survivors to save from the alien attackers.

Early life
Before being attached to the Ishimura, Nicole Brennan lived on New Harmony alongside Isaac Clarke, her boyfriend. After being selected to become a crewwoman, she initially became distrustful of herself, but accepted the offer once Isaac was able to convince her otherwise and encourage her talents.

Ishimura's travel
Two days following her departure from New Harmony aboard the Ishimura, Nicole contacted lead scientist Dr. Terrence Kyne over the continuing decorating state of crewman Brant Harris, believing that he should be placed in quarantine as per ship protocols duo to his health not recovering. Kyne agreed with her, before asking if she had heard the "horror stories" about Aegis VII, to which Nicole insensitively remarked about the Mission Square Suicides and its possible connection to the Church of Unitology, clearly distraughting Terrence with hysteria.

Before the Ishimura reached its final destination, Nicole contacted Isaac on New Harmony through a holo-still, thanking him for believing and supporting her. However, further conversation was made impossible after connection problem, but she promised to return to him later. On the day of the ship's planet crack, Nicole and her partner Perry Balko started handling crewman who had contracted an unidentified sickness. However, Brennan lied to Perry, saying that the "no-fly" order would keep the Ishimura safe from the sickness that was affecting the planet. She secretly believed that the "no-fly" order would only help to dilute their efforts, but kept it to herself to not cause massive panic among the crew.

Second Aegis VII Incident
Forty-six hours after the ship lost communications with Aegis VII, Nicole's work was doubled when Captain Benjamin Mathius announced the ship suffered a "small outbreak" on the crew deck. While attending the patients, Perry revealed to her that the victims had been wounded needed them. She was later contacted by a P.C.S.I. Security officer, Alissa Vincent, who told Brennan she had arrested four colonists who had snuck aboard the Ishimura. Nicole believed that they should remain in her jurisdiction, as per the Hippocratic Oath, wishing to investigate the mysterious infection that they were affected with.
