You are becoming hysterical.

The other advanced models (that are working in the Apollo core and down at the server hubs) are actually build to withstand temperatures of up to 1210 degrees!

[@ProjectACHERON]

Wow, where did you get that figure!

[@popoles]

@@ProjectACHERON they say that when on fire. "I am built to withstand temperatures of up to 1210 degrees." Even regular androids say that.

[@ProjectACHERON]

Oh okay ill have to listen more carefully when i get to that stage again

[@samsainty2892]

the scariest part when i played alian isolation was when you get to the synthetic show room while having a dead woman sitting and having loads of working joes posing and its all silant and you feel like something is going to happen but only when you press that red button and thats when the fear and the stress begins probably the most unsettling mission in the game in my eyes.

[@ProjectACHERON]

Yeah the syntethics were at time just as terrifying as the alien itself.

[@bernardstrauss1183]

The change of eye color signifies that they are under direct control from Apollo, therefor hostile towards humans.

[@ProjectACHERON]

Technically they are always under full control of Apollo because they are programmed for complete no violence and always operation under there central AI’s guidance.

[@thundercliff93]

I bet the working Joes are a pain in the sit upon in the game!

[@ProjectACHERON]

They are good at time and others I hate them, you played isolation before ??

[@thundercliff93]

@@ProjectACHERON I own it on PS3 but havent had the time to play it yet

[@ProjectACHERON]

Make time my friend it is so worth it!!

[@lenakingsleigh]

They are the best thing in the game lmao. But you know, you do have to hide. And if you play in nightmare mode they will even find you (if entered Hostile mode) if you're hiding under a table.

[@ProjectACHERON]

It’s not just in nightmare mode in the easier mode they can find you hiding in places too it just depends how cautious you are being and how much attention you draw to yourself!

[@thedoruk6324]

Its more unsettling that humans're actually close to making these things :/

[@ProjectACHERON]

Yes very true I mean have you seen the Sophie robot ??

[@thedoruk6324]

@@ProjectACHERON that robot cheerfully said; one of the interviews; that it/she would destroy humanity; and than smiled; like a 7-year old make a joke. I think strict regulations should be conscripted when dealing with artificial intelligence.

Well there is already the 3 ai governing laws preventing them from harming or causing events to harm us !

@@ProjectACHERON I think a True a.i. would likely find loopholes and/or paradox'es around it. Well, I prefer terminator and alien future to matrix machine city of 01; as the humans've literally no future as a species on that timeline. :(

@@thedoruk6324 Loopholes? An AI would be far more likely to simply make a mistake that breaks one of those rules, and never acknowledge that it had done so.

Wait if the working joes are 5’8 is Amanda shorter? How tall would you guess Amanda Ripley is?

Thank you, that would be a really unique and useful ability, and could create very interesting storytelling. I believe a similar form of telepathy was used in Alien: Female War. For me personally I would include the telepathic feature along with making the xenomorph a true techno-organic lifeform, featuring a fusion of organic and non-organic materials in order to produce advanced nanomaterials that would be incorporated into the Alien's physiology allowing new components and features to be introduced to alien that have never been seen before, along with the ability to adapt faster in real time and share those new adaptations with the hive along new information gathered from their telepathy (refinement). The last two features would be regeneration and "spore system" the ability to release techno-organic like spores, from within their body performing different tasks depending upon the situation, (think of when the black goo became airborne and how it acted) even remaining on the outside of the alien either as weapons or unique forms of armor (there is always a sense of it moving on the alien gathering environmental data and using it to improve its current task), gather data from other organisms, terraforming the environment to best suit the alien, swarm around a target or enemy to either kill or incapacitate new hosts (similar to what the black goo did in Covenant) and when its finished the "spores" can return to the alien either on the out or inside or both, since there are trillions of these "spores" and they can reproduce when necessary. As a last resort the alien can release a burst of "spores" around any other organisms (it can be single or plural) within area or beyond, because the "spores" are hardwired to find a host in order to start a new xenomorph hive, with all the collective data of the previous hive and memories, allowing the xenomorphs to know how to improve their tactics becoming more refined over time. Anyway, that's how I would enhance the xenomorphs, I'm sorry if this was a bit lengthy but I felt it was necessary for what I needed to explain, be sure to let me know what you think thanks.

[@ProjectACHERON]

Yeah that would really be pretty interesting and an awesome addition to the xenomorphs biology, I'm pretty sure Ridley Scott has already confirmed that the xenomorph can regenerate segments of its body, but yes there are so many ways the xenomorph could become more, however, I think it would a case of overkill haha, i think the new information the William Gibson script in comic form is giving us is really awesome and brings some of these ideas and more into the light and expands the possibilities of the creature!

[@TheDaimon888]

@@ProjectACHERON Thank you I glad you liked my concept for up grading the Aliens, I was inspired by Gibson's script, Covenant, and my own ideas. I'm glad that I'm not the only one who is enjoying the William Gibson Alien 3 comic, after reading the Gibson script I feel that should have been the Alien 3 we got instead of the one we got. Personally I feel that its important to always add something novel and unique to the Alien in each film (sort of like a onion peeling back layers) revealing something new about the Alien and keeping things fresh. Anyway I have a theory about what Ridley said about the Protomorph after it was crushed by the crane, I feel that the Protomorph has a higher concentration of the Black Goo, allowing it to have unique properties such as regeneration to a higher degree, than the actual xenomorph has due to the level of concentration of Black Goo within the Xenomorph, which is probably a smaller amount than the Protomorph has. Those are my thoughts let me know what you think thanks. :)

Also they don't run. When I say that I mean they can't move any faster than walking

[@reloadpsi]

They still walk really damn fast though. It's quite unsettling.

[@danieldobbie5554]

It's a good thing that they don't run
