@@woooooooo9061 Spoilers for the book, so don't read if you plan on reading it. Basically there is a Colonial Marines detachment on Hadley's Hope for general colony defense, and a department of WY scientists there as well to "study" the planet while the processors do their work. It's revealed pretty early on that the scientists know about the derelict and they have a whole lab set up in a secret part of the colony along with an escape ship that only they know about. The book covers the infestation and the marines and colonists trying to fight back, which they are able to do with some success until the xenos start using the air ducts to abduct people and get more drones. The end of the book is basically their last stand(right before Newt escapes into the air ducts in the tie in comic book to ALIENS) and the marine captain who has found out about the escape ship is able to get himself, another marine, one of the scientists, and a young girl to the ship and they escape. They never really followed up on it which is kind of a shame.

Ripley had just cautioned Gorman about the marines being located beneath the heat exchangers. She was aware that if the creatures had taken refuge there, either for their increased metabolism due to warmth or tactical reasons, disabling the heat exchangers could trigger a dangerous thermonuclear chain reaction with catastrophic consequences. Ripley knew that if part of the cooling system were disabled, it could cause the fusion reactor to overheat and lose control, leading to the later resultant thermonuclear runaway reaction. Breaching the heat exchanger led to the reactor's energy output escalating to a level where it became akin to a hydrogen bomb, with a devastating release of energy and destruction.

Going over the blueprints and pretty much instructing him and them on what to do. They would still have done everything they went over. Aside from shooting some “bugs”, All he did really was show her how to use the pulse rifle and did some welding. If anyone is the brilliant survivalist, it’s Newt.

I do not count "River of Pain" the book as canon. It tries to retcon the Space Jockey into an Engineer and it allows for survivors to make a getaway in a transport ship. Let me brutally clear to everyone here. Newt's Tale, a 90s comic by Dark Horse explained what happened. She was LITERALLY the only survivor. In my opinion, from a writing perspective, River of Pain cheapens the horror of what she went through and tries to marry Prometheus to Aliens.

This was a pretty cool breakdown. I thoroughly enjoyed it. The dialogue from the characters even sounded in-character to the people involved. I always hated that stupid egg explanation of Alien 3. It was pretty damn clear Ripley torched damn near all the eggs. The queen would not have had the extra time or hands to carry the damned things. A much, MUCH easier solution would have been to explain that in an emergency nest evacuation, that Facehuggers would simply attach the Queen Herself. It could have even been argued simply that she had a way to feed nutrition to the Facehuggers attached to her. Then, shortly before she attacked Bishop, that the Facehuggers had simply detached and hidden themselves aboard the ship.
@stevonbass Жыл бұрын
There is evidence of this at the end of Aliens, after the credits. You can faintly hear the skittering of Facehugger legs across the deck. It can be presumed that the Queen grabbed a couple of Facehuggers to assist her in capturing the creatures that destroyed her hive. When the Queen clambered onto the Dropship's undercarriage, she may have decided a new hive was needed and "commanded" these Facehuggers to hide, then attack when things were clear. After sensing the death of the Queen, they kept a low profile until things got quiet, then followed the human scent to the hyper-sleep chambers. If you just ignore the egg and assume they were a couple of carry-ons, its a fairly smooth start to the movie.

Great video. My guess is the eggs from Alien 3 made it onto the ship when Bishop and Hicks were waiting for Ripley to find Newt. I would guess a drone Xenomorph did it sensing the impending destruction of the hive due to reactor meltdown. Or maybe at the direction of the Queen. A way to preserve the hive. Hicks was in and out of consciousness and Bishop was distracted by the chaos of the moment. It’s the only thing that makes sense to me.

Not long after the events of Hadley’s hope and the visit by the Sephora, USCM sent another ship to ensure the thing was dead. USCM Col Caughey was selected to command the op ( primarily cause he didn’t have any direct connection to Weyland Yutani via stock or other means save for a retirement account he purchased 20 years ago upon reaching Lt rank). He opted to have the damaged Bishop unit rebuilt from Fury 161 after removing his uplink to WY. Bishop was not happy about this but realized it was necessary. After assembling his team they went there using a new Bougainville class dropship. After collecting all the data they could the team opted to nuke the 3 moons of the planet to ensure XX-121 was eliminated. Upon returning Col Caughey was promoted to general and put in charge of the extrasolar colony administration military arm. His orders are “ if it’s hostile then kill it, then kill the remains, then vaporize it to be sure it can’t hurt a colonist”
