Quote from: predxeno on Sep 21, 2010, 05:37:46 PMXeno-Zip is a new kind of drug produced by the jelly that is excreted off of Alien Queens (royal jelly), sometimes the jelly is also taken off regular female aliens as shown in Aliens Harvest; it's street name is Fire. Aliens Genocide shows that Xeno-Zip can provide one with longer endurance and stamina. One racer even used it to outrun all his competition in a race, unfortunately he didn't get to enjoy his victory as he kept running into a bloody splatter as he slammed himself against the wall of the track. Xeno-Zip is thus demonstrated to make the user over-confident and drive them into some sort of maniacal state. In Aliens Harvest, it is said that Xeno-Zip can cause one to feel elation and some feel an orgasm that seems to last forever (wonder what that would feel like). However, it may also cause personality changes. It is also depicted in much of the EU that Aliens don't like it when humans take their jelly and they hold the jelly as the highest priority to the point where they even abandon opportunities to acquire hosts so they can retrieve stolen jelly. In AVP2010, it isn't practical for Alien 6 to retrieve all the jelly that the humans took so she destroys the canisters they're in and the jelly seeps out and evaporates. The consumption of royal jelly in its pure form is also depicted in Aliens Colonial Marines comic (not to be confused with the upcoming game) to be more potent than Xeno-Zip and thus have a greater effect than Xeno-Zip on the human body.

At least in the novelization because I remember them finding it during the introduction chapter for the marines on Earth.
