### Critters 4

As the last movie left off, Charlie McFadden is prevented from killing two Krite eggs by a holographic message from Ug, who informs him that doing so would be against cosmic law because the eggs are the last two to exist. Charlie grudgingly complies with Ug's instructions and proceeds to put the eggs in a preservation pod that unexpectedly drops to the ground. However, as he does so, the hatch closes on him, sending Charlie hurtling into space and into deep freeze.

The crew of the salvage ship RSS Tesla discovers the pod in outer space and brings it onboard more than fifty years later, in 2045. The ship's crew consists of the dubious and lewd Captain Rick Buttram, his quirky engineer Al "Albert" Bert, Fran the pilot, and Bernie the cargo specialist. and Ethan, a student engineer. Following their discovery, Councilor Tetra of TerraCor contacts the ship and offers Buttram three times the going cost if he transports the pod to a nearby station. The crew agrees and decides to visit the station. However, when they arrive, they discover it to be deserted, with "Angela," the facility's malfunctioning central computer, as the sole indication of life. "Angela" only follows commands when given orders that are exactly the opposite of what she is supposed to do.

Later, when Ethan comes into Rick tinkering with the pod, Rick declares that he intends to steal whatever is inside for himself and abandon the others. Ethan protests, but Rick uses a fire extinguisher to put him out of his misery before he can open the pod. Before Rick is attacked and killed by the freshly born Krites, he runs into Charlie in it, who bolts out.

Charlie brings Ethan back to life when the Krites run away, and he finally rejoins the team. Bernie doesn't trust Charlie when he tries to explain who he is and warn the team about the Krites, so he leaves. Ethan then accesses a report written by Dr. McCormick using a computer keycard he had previously discovered. In this study, she admits that she has been researching numerous extraterrestrial creatures for use as a bioweapon. Her inventions, however, were unable to reproduce on their own, so she asked for help in locating an organism that could do it quickly. Albert firmly advises that they all leave the station right away after understanding what has been happening inside.

Later, at the station's pharmacy, the Krites attack and kill Bernie. Angela begins closing up areas of the station after announcing that the reactor is leaking radiation and would become critical in a matter of hours when the others discover his corpses. Later, the group learns that the Krites are reproducing when they come upon a clutch of recently deposited Krite eggs. In the meantime, the Krites travel to the Tesla and instruct it to travel to Earth, the nearest inhabited planet. While the others get the spacecraft ready for takeoff, one Krite goes to get the eggs. After the crew arrives, they run into the Krites, who Charlie kills by shooting, but not before accidentally destroying the flying controls.

While the crew works to fix the ship, Ethan sets out on his own to find the final Krite. He discovers it by utilizing tools from the research lab to quickly develop a number of baby Krites to adult size. Just as a Terracor ship arrives with Tetra, Ug, and other troops holding the remaining crew at gunpoint, Ethan dashes to alert the others. When Albert attempts to object, Tetra shoots and kills him. She then demands the Krite eggs. of response to Charlie's dismay about Ug's abrupt shift of alignment, Ug replies "things change" and tells his soldiers to head out in search of the eggs.

After surreptitiously seeing Albert's death, Ethan returns to the scientific lab and lures the soldiers into a trap by having Angela hide them behind sliding doors. The Krites then attack and kill the soldiers. Then, after removing three Krite eggs from the tube, Ethan purposefully smashes two of them in Tetra's presence. Tetra becomes enraged and threatens to kill Fran, but Ethan throws the last egg to divert her attention so that Fran may use Ethan's revovler to put Tetra out.

### Death

When a Krite confronts Ethan, forcing him to use a fuel pipe to freeze it, Zoran gave it the Bounty Booty because it was the most unique out of the 7 other krite deaths.
