Piloting shack (Earth-7149)

The piloting shack was an isolated shack used by pilot Ryan MacReady within the Office of Naval Intelligence URNA Outpost 31. It featured a small interface with a miniaturized MOTHER artificial intelligence, to which MacReady could contact the UNSC at superluminal speeds.

History
Constructed as the headquarters of a pilot serving within URNA Outpost 31, the piloting shack became Ryan MacReady's home at the installation during his tenure of contract by the Office of Naval Intelligence. After discovering Ellen Ripley at the nearby Thule Station, MacReady attempted to use MOTHER to make contact with the nearest UNSC base, to no avail. The shack was later investigated by Ripley and Tyler Nauls after they found its lights were out, despite the fact they had been turned off hours prior. It was later discovered it was the work of the xenomorphs that were roaming in the base, who were attempting to draw the crew against one another so they could kill them faster and allow the Chestburster inside Vance Norris to grow undetected.

It, alongside all other locations in the outpost, were destroyed when Ellen Ripley detonated the charges she and the other survivors placed in the generator room while she shortly engaged the Kamchatka Queen.
