Here's one more addendum to my series about the symbolic Weyland explorer/detective/soldier/captain Holden. Thanks (and enjoy!),
====
HOLDEN: Are you telling me you've discovered a planet inhabited entirely by female Xenomorphs?
WEYLAND: Yes, and we're telling you to select a crew to explore the planet and bring back photos!
HOLDEN: Wow, I feel like a real anthropologist.
WEYALND: Don't be a scavenger.
HOLDEN: Who can afford that with the Company, sir(s)?
WEYLAND: Right.
As Holden and his crew of the Weyland vessel Titus set sails for the lanet Xanadu in the galaxy Rai, Captain Holden secretly wondered the metaphysical ramifications of finding a human-unexplored planet inhabited entirely by female Xenomorphs, which were called Fem-Xens (FXs). If these FXs were as virulent and predatory as their male counterparts when grouped together entirely as a single species gender, would they consider human contact more friendly than if there were regular male and female Xenomorphs occupying the human-unexplored planet? Captain Holden wondered this for a long time and ultimately decided to refute the Weyland command to deboard the vessel Xanadu carrying only flare-guns and no laser weapons. In fact, he armed the entire crew with both laser rifles and laser pistols. He considered what he was doing of ultimate priority, regardless of the unverified claims that only FXs occupied the unexplored planet.
HOLDEN:I ordered my men to fire on the violent Xenos on Xanadu, sir(s).
WEYLAND: You weren't aware they were all females, Holden?
HOLDEN: We did confirm that fact, sir(s), but equally sensitive to their violence.
WEYLAND: So these female Xenos were equally aggressive as the males then.
HOLDEN: While that is certain, we're unsure if this aggression was prompted or not.
WEYLAND: You mean they may have been defending themselves?
HOLDEN: That's correct, sir(s), and we're simply too poor to allow the time to negotiate.
WEYLAND: So you simply opened fire, retreated and departed Xanadu after the aggression?
HOLDEN: Correct!
WEYLAND: What's your conclusion, Holden?
HOLDEN: When a Xeno exhibits any sign of violence, you stand prepared and become defensive.
WEYLAND: So you had no inclination to investigate the rationale of these aliens' violence on Xanadu?
HOLDEN: I grabbed by crucifix necklace, sir(s), and only prayed for prompt retreat from the unexplored planet.
WEYLAND: Well, Holden, you've certainly exhibited due diligence in terms of prompt responses for crew safety!
HOLDEN: Perhaps scientists from Weyland can establish more communication based inquiries with these female Xenos.
WEYLAND: Well, if we do, Holden, you won't be involved; you're just a soldier.
HOLDEN: In any case, it's been an honor to stand at the ready position!
WEYLAND: Good; we'll keep you informed if your laser mind is required again.
HOLDEN: I'll pray for a prompt peace between humans and Xenos in the distant future.
WEYLAND: Good.
