Ragnarok: Aliens VERSUS Necromorphs

Last time on Ragnarok, Ash Williams managed to make it out of Silent Hill alive.  Welcome to:
Today's Match:

Aliens VERSUS Necromorphs

The Rules:
Imagine the movie 'Aliens,' except this time, the poor mining colony has a bunch of aliens working from one end, trying to capture the colonists alive so that they can impregnate them and build their Alien hive, and a bunch of Necromorphs working from the other end, trying to kill the colonists so they can take over their bodies.  The two nasty alien species collide and duke it out.  Whichever one kills the other's Queen/Hive Mind wins.  We will assume for the sake of this battle that Aliens cannot impregnate Necromorphs, and Necromorphs can't take over Alien's dead bodies.

Arguments:
Aliens:
These guys explode in a hail of acid when you attack them.  And this isn't your normal, every-day acid.  It's SUPER acid.  Every time a Necro kills an Alien, they kill themselves and every other Necro in the area.  So in addition to the Aliens scoring a few victories while alive, they are killing every Necro that kills them.  In the end, the Aliens win.

Necromorphs:
An Alien has the difficult task of building their numbers by capturing humans and then keeping them alive long enough to impregnate them and have a chest-burster hatch out.  A Necro can grab any old dead body that happens to be lying around and infect it.  For that matter, they can grab the used-up husks of the people the Aliens finished impregnating and then turn THEM into Necros.  The Aliens will never get the chance to build their numbers large enough to be a threat to the Necros, and even if they do, every human they used as a womb will be another Necro coming after them.  Necros win.

Now vote, you fools!
