We don't know for sure. It's all speculation but maybe being able to squeeze out just one teeny tiny egg is part of being the perfect organism. Again, speculation; but it could be something worth exploring. To survive and maintain a hive, a queen might need at least one minion. So she could maybe produce one egg without needing her sac. Perhaps the sac just speeds up the egg-producing process so she could mass-produce eggs. This is all just imagination, sadly.

I've generally subscribed to some explanation along these lines. That in a crunch, the Queen is capable of squeezing out one egg without her egg sack. How it gets glued to the ceiling is a completely different question.   :laugh:

I guess it's a lot more sticky and squishy since it came right out of her xeno-ass.  ;D

I don't subscribe to any theory anymore.  It's a complete mystery that will never be solved.  Maybe it is even supernatural.

That clever remark (or all the variations thereof) never gets trite.

The Sulaco egg never bothered me, Aliens have a habit of succesfully getting where they aren't supposed to be. :P The fact that there's meant to be a single facehugger implanting two hosts is more bothersome to me TBH.

The problem is the LOCATION of the egg.

I know. But like I said, Aliens (and eggs) have a habit of succesfully getting where they aren't supposed to be. ;)

I still go by this theory.

This is a little piece called I've got some time to kill.

This is a theory of how the egg got on board the Sulaco.
I didn't come up with this theory but I have detailed it further.

Things to remember before reading:

  • This only takes into account the Assembly Cut of Alien 3.
  • The writers of the film never included any of this.

As the Queen leaves the hive after Ripley has destroyed it, one of the "Royal" facehuggers...

http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20120626192517/avp/images/a/a7/Royal_Facehugger.png

...climbs on her back.

As Ripley, Newt, and Bishop are attending Hicks in the dropship, before they walk out into this shot...

http://www.avpgalaxy.net/gallery/albums/movies/aliens/dvdcaptures/dvdcapture521.jpg

...the Queen lays an emergency egg on top of the Royal facehugger which then carries it off into the hull of the Sulaco. The Royal facehugger is built to carry eggs, like so...

http://i39.tinypic.com/oupkz7.jpg
(Egg size is debatable.)

...The only onscreen evidence for these Royal facehuggers carrying eggs is the fact that the eggs are placed all over the ground in the hive (seen in Aliens.)

http://www.avpgalaxy.net/gallery/albums/movies/aliens/dvdcaptures/dvdcapture478.jpg

I am aware that the drones/warriors can carry the eggs, but for the sake of argument these Royal facehuggers can also carry eggs in order to move them to more secretive locations, which is evident in the opening of Alien 3...

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v94/avpgalaxy/avpg/forum/image002.jpg

So the egg hatches and the facehugger from the egg...


(You can see it's not a Royal facehugger)

...impregnates Ripley causing the fire that ejects the EEV to Fiorina 161. Along for the ride is the Royal facehugger, which impregnates the Ox and is later found by Murphy.



This theory can also be backed up by the sound of the scuttling facehugger at the end of Aliens, after the credits.

For me personally this is how it went down.

I still don't buy that the Queen can lay 'emergency eggs', but otherwise interesting theory.

Invent shit to make it work after the fact.

Nope. Not buying that.

The royal facehugger isn't really an invention made after the fact though, it may not be canon but it was created and intended for use in an alien film, It's also a staple of the EU.

Not that I ever cared for the idea or the films design of the creature. :)

Alien 3 yet again comes up with a brilliant scheme to explain a very uneasy topic. You got my vote. I have a small detail to add...

Spoiler
Let's say (for argument's sake) that the Alien Queen can not lay a fully developed egg without the egg sac. Alright? Perhaps she can still begin the process of an egg (Phase 1), kinda like the life process of an Alien:
Phase 1 - Embryo
Phase 2 - Chestburster
Phase 3 - Skin molting phase
Phase 4 - Adult/Full scale

The Royal facehugger can carry it very easily without fear of damaging itself, therefore can climb to extremely unlikely places to avoid being checked for. The egg can adapt to it's surroundings and the life cycle continues. Meanwhile, the Royal Facehugger can scout for victims for itself and the soon to be hatched facehugger. Once ready, both go on their final mission and impregnate the victims with their embryos.

A tad far fetched, but still believable. Right? :P

Pfft, I just named it that for sake of argument. It still exists in film and is visibly different from ones seen previously. It must serve some purpose to look like that.

"Royale with cheese." Haha
