Egg on Sulaco

[The Old One]

Or y'know, like I said- they ended up farther away on the Sulaco looking for other hosts.

Y'know, the believable thing.

[SM]

Running away from viable hosts to search for non-existant ones doesn't sound remotely believable.

It would be wildly inconsistent with their behavior up to that point. Facehugers are shown to be vehemently aggressive when it comes to pursuing their hosts once found.

If they had been there, most likely the moment Bishop got hit with the tail, and Ripley was grappling onto him ,the facehugger would've whipped round her shoulder and hugged her. All the characters were vulnerable in that instant.

Hell, Hicks was alone and unconscious on the dropship.

It does if the dropship hasn't opened its' doors and it seems to the Facehuggers that there's no one around.

Or if the Queen commanded them to.


Either of these are better than magic egg is the point.

Quite.

The huggers in Medlab didn't sneak out and go attack Hicks and Burke next door in ops.

I'll take the magic egg any day.

Just continue ignoring this then because you're never wrong about anything SM.

The dropship rear stairwell was open.  Of which I'm pretty sure I'm not wrong.

How does it feel to be slowly digested over a thousand years?

Dude, you made me spit my beverage.

I'm pretty sure the dropship landing gear opens long before the dropship is pressurised and the human beings/synthetics have the ability to exit the dropship onto the Sulaco. So again...

The Queen waited until the crew exited the dropship but the Facehuggers may have crawled into one of the many vents searching for other personnel to infect as soon as the dropships' landing gear opened.

They ended up miles away.
By the time they came back everyone was in hypersleep and then bam, Alien 3 opening minus the egg.

[Local Trouble]

Proto-eggs.

Why though?

[OpenMaw]

Proto-eggs.

On pizza?

[Local Trouble]

They're suitably small and gooey.
