Egg on Sulaco

[Huggs]

Clearly there was a regular xenomorph that went off on its own and evolved into a queen while they were in hypersleep. In order to secure the future of the species, of course. Hence the multiple facehuggers.

"Was there an alien onboard?"

"Yes"

I think the only valid answer's the official material one on the film's disc:

Not only is there 'SULACO' engraved in the metal, but we can see a corridor by the egg. It's meant to be somewhere in the Sulaco hallways. The eternal question remains how it got there.

And if Weyland-Yutani or some other nefarious corporation supposedly did that (somehow bypassing the Sulaco's security and defence system protocols), they would have just taken it with them.

Between that and the cryotubes being completely different, unless fans want to hand-wave it (and many are happy to), the only way to account for it, consistency-wise, is the old dream theory.

Forsooth.

She's going to be very cross with you when she returns though.

This man speaks the truth! 🙂

If the company was already out there why would they have sent the colonial marines when they could just go down to the planet and grab a Xenomorph? Or why would they go out of their way to infect a person in hyper sleep and just run off without taking them with them? Like if you're going to go through the trouble of breaching the Sulaco and infecting everyone wouldn't you do what they did in resurrection  and captivate them?

Either the queen or a warrior did it

We don't know that it's corridor.

The old dream theory is good to continue the story from.

The same actors stars the next film where they wake up two hundred years after and the sulaco is lost in space...

it's easy, not? 

[Local Trouble]

I don't see why it can't just take place decades after the Sulaco returned to Earth without incident.  It doesn't have to pick up immediately after Aliens.

Do people just come back to life if you wait long enough?

[Huggs]

Do people just come back to life if you wait long enough?

How long have you waited?

[Local Trouble]

Do people just come back to life if you wait long enough?

Three days in at least one case, or so a couple billion people believe.

[SM]

Fair.

[Vermillion]

Do people just come back to life if you wait long enough?

According to Luke Skywalker...
