Egg on Sulaco

[Local Trouble]

Exactly.

Some random corridor in the ship. The only thing below where the Queen bled is the hull.

How can we be sure it's a corridor?  It could be a maintenance crawlspace under the hangar deck for all we know.

[SiL]

Awful well lit.

[BlueMarsalis79]

Either way, something has to be there though, or we would have explosive decompression.

[Local Trouble]

Awful well lit.

You...you just sounded like SM there.  I heard it.  Did anyone else hear it??

Anyway, it's well lit, but the light source is above the grating.



It's not as apparent in the still shot, but it is when the camera pans to the left.

After that, we see the facehugger for the first time and, as before, the light source is above the grating.



In fact, the entire ship seems curiously well lit given everyone is in hypersleep.

[BlueMarsalis79]

Damn... That does look an awful lot like the flooring on the top right hand side.

[SiL]

Since we know eggs are right 3-4 feet tall we also know that crawl space is awful high. Kind of a thin hull for a warship surely?

"The fire... was electrical, it was in the subflooring." -Bishop

Surely that means that's also where the Alien originated further corroborating this?

[SiL]

The fire was caused by the hugger bleeding later.

Well, it's not as if we have a detailed schematic of the entire ship.  However, we do know that below the hangar bay is a big airlock that the dropship is lowered into prior to launch.  That's gotta be, what, ten feet high at least?

The "crawlspace" (or "conduit" if you prefer to call it something else) could be laterally adjacent to the upper part of that airlock and still leave room for an armored hull beneath it.

yeah but there's a what, 4 or 5 meter well in that same floor. I can't see the hull being more than 2 meters thick, and even that feels excessive, even for a military vessel.

[Local Trouble]

This should give us an idea of how much space is actually between the hangar deck and the outer hull.

[City Hunter Yautja]

Would anyone object to an inserted scene of the Queen laying an egg in a flashback?

[SiL]

Yes. We see the Queen the whole time she's on the ship. There's no time to lay an egg.

Yes.

We need another movie to explain it. Call ot Alien: Egg One
